Don"t get too excited, this one"s only going to France, and in very limited numbers. It is the BMW M2 Competition Heritage Edition, and it wants to celebrate/cash in (tom-ay-to/tom-ah-to) on the glorious 2002 Turbo. Because it"s been nearly 50 years since the 2002 Turbo first enlivened the world"s lives with its presence; a four-cylinder BMW that helped cement Bee-Em"s reputation as a purveyor of fine driving machines. Probably a tag line in that, somewhere BMW will only make 40 of these special edition M2 Competition cars (which replaced the regular M2 last year). Over and above the Competition spec a twin turbo, detuned BMW M4 engine with 404bhp, bigger brakes, tweaked steering, returned stability control and so on you get lots and lots of carbon accessories. Things like the side fins, grille, mirror hulls, rear diffuser, exhaust tips, front blade and rear spoiler.
