BMW M2 Grows AWD with 2027 xDrive, Boosting Pace and Grip

BMW will offer a 2027 M2 with an xDrive all‑wheel‑drive variant using the M3/M4‑based system; it retains the 3.0-liter twin‑turbo inline‑six at 473 hp, shifts exclusively via an eight‑speed automatic (the six‑speed manual isn’t available with xDrive), and lets drivers switch between AWD and RWD. The xDrive M2 weighs about 3,988 lb, does 0–60 in 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 155 mph (177 mph with the Driver’s Package). It starts at $74,950, about $4,600 over the base 2026 M2 and $18,100 below the M4 Competition xDrive, and goes on sale this summer with a new Borusan Turkish Blue color.

BMW M2 adds all-wheel-drive for 2027, while keeping a rear-drive option

BMW’s US site leaked a 2027 M2 xDrive with AWD and an eight-speed automatic, to be sold alongside the existing rear-drive M2. Autocar expects a rear-biased AWD with a full rear-drive mode, and power around the M2 CS level (about 523 hp and 479 lb-ft), with a weight near 3,970 lb and a potential sub-3.7-second 0–60 mph time. The leak also hints at broader 2027 updates (3 Series M350 xDrive, iX3/iX4, X5, 7 Series 740 xDrive) and notes some models like the X4 and 8 Series may be discontinued.
