BMW is set to launch its first-ever all-wheel-drive (AWD) M2 for the 2027 model year, marking a significant shift in the vehicle's performance capabilities.
The introduction of xDrive aims to narrow the performance gap between the M2 and the more expensive M4, appealing to enthusiasts seeking enhanced traction and handling.
However, the new M2 will not include a manual transmission option, which may disappoint some traditionalists who favor the driving experience that a stick shift provides.
