BMW India has launched the M2 Coupe and has priced it at Rs. 98 lakh (ex-showroom India). This is the company's entry-level M model and is positioned below the more potent M3 and M4. We recently got a chance to drive the car and here's our review. The new BMW M2 features identical elements from the elder M3 and M4 but with a detuned engine, making it the most lethal entry-level M car in the country to be made available on a budget.

BMW M2 Coupe: Dimensions and Colours

The athletic stance of the new BMW M2 stems from its compact dimensions, measuring 214 mm less in exterior length than the BMW M4 Coupé models and a 110 mm shorter wheelbase. At the same time, the vehicle and track widths exceed the figures for the new BMW 2 Series Coupé by a considerable margin. A choice of five exterior paint finishes will be made available for the BMW M2, including Zandvoort Blue solid/Toronto Red metallic shades exclusive to this model.
