BMW M2 Competition - "Red Edition"
BMW M2 Competition - "Red Edition"
The BMW M2 Competition has already earned its place in MSport legend.
It is widely recognised as the best M car since the Iconic E30 M3 edition of the late 80’s and is without a doubt one of the best driving experiences available today.
Evo2 Motorsport is very familiar with the E30 M3. We owned both race and road versions and won many races over a three-year period with both BTCC and DTM versions.
Two unique road cars developed by Evo2 Motorsport (a 2.5L DTM for the road and an E30 M3 2.5L convertible) gave many thousands of miles of driving pleasure.
We wanted to build on that experience and have developed the M2 Competition - “Red Edition” you see here. We believe it is the ultimate specification for this iconic car and elevates its status to one of our all-time greats!
At a cost of £86,400 ($112,000) it has not been a cheap exercise, but the desire for perfection rarely is.
Acquired new by us in late 2019, the factory specification is extensive and consists of:
OEM options;
Sapphire black with black/blue Dakota leather with perforation
Comfort Pack - reversing camera, easy access, folding/anti-dazzle mirrors, electric seats with memory Bluetooth and wireless charging
MDCT seven speed
MSport braking system
Electric glass sunroof
Through loading system
BMW adaptive headlights
High beam assist
Harman Kardon hifi
Apple Car Play
WIFI hotspot
Speed limit display
And then the fun started! We wanted to improve the M2 Competition in three ways:
-
Performance tuning
-
Optical tuning
-
Comfort and usability
Performance Tuning
