BMW is set to introduce a track-only version of its 2 Series, providing racing enthusiasts with an attractive entry point into the world of motorsport. The German automaker’s M division, known for its high-performance vehicles, is currently developing this new car that will come equipped with race-ready features. Although the name of the model has not been disclosed, it is expected to be an evolution of either the M240i or the M2, given the involvement of the M division. The use of a muscular body kit suggests a strong connection to the M2, with rumors pointing to a possible correlation with the upcoming M2 CS.
The forthcoming coupe will follow in the footsteps of BMW’s previous track-focused offerings, such as the M235i Racing, the M240i Racing, and the M2 CS Racing. Although specific details about the engine remain unknown, it is unlikely that there will be significant differences compared to the street-legal version of the car. However, BMW may make tuning adjustments to ensure compliance with race series regulations. The focus will likely be on enhancing the coupe’s braking and suspension systems to deliver optimal lap times.
Björn Lellmann, the head of customer racing for BMW M Motorsport, emphasized the brand’s commitment to providing affordable racing options for teams and newcomers. He stated that offering a car that combines BMW M Motorsport technology with affordability is essential in maintaining a strong connection with customers.
BMW is expected to release more details about the track-oriented 2 Series in the coming months, with the coupe making its racing debut in 2026. This announcement will undoubtedly pique the interest of racing enthusiasts who are looking for a competitive and accessible entry point into the world of motorsport.
