Meet the BMW M2 Competition. You can forget any notion of this being a desirable options pack BMW describes it as a "complete reworking" of the standard M2, which the Competition replaces completely. It"d be very easy to argue the BMW M2 needed no such reworking; it"s a mega little sports coupe and a bruising alternative to an Audi TT RS or Porsche 718 Cayman. But the list of tweaks leave us feeling assured BMW hasn"t ruined the recipe, it"s just lobbed in a load of scotch bonnets to make it punchier than ever. In short, it"s closer to the ethos of the old 1-Series M Coupe than ever. Out goes the M2"s single-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six engine, replaced by a similarly sized twin-turbo unit borrowed from the BMW M4.
