AC Schnitzer, of Tuning All The BMWs" fame, has modded the little BMW M2 before. But now, it"s seen to the M2 Competition. This is exciting and a little baffling. Exciting, because the M2 Comp features a proper M engine the twin-turbo straight-six S55" motor from the M3 and M4 twins. Baffling because, well, how could someone hope to make the M2 Competition palpably better? The upgrades leave no area of the M2 Comp untouched. Let"s start with the ones you can see: forged alloy wheels, carbon aero splitters and wings, and interior upholstery in AC Schnitzer-spec orange"n"black. We like the powertrain upgrades too. Chiefly because while you can boost the engine to 500bhp (from 404bhp) thanks to a simple ECU switch, you don"t have to dress up the motor in gaudy garnish. Adding power costs 5,113. Dressing up the engine bay to look smarter at car shows is a 486 extra. You can have the go without the show.
