A new M car from BMW is always an exciting prospect. Known for their powerful engines and pin-sharp handling, they’re often styled in a manner that is purposeful but reserved, flying under the radar unless you really know what to look for.

Running costs

Don’t buy a BMW M2 if you’re worried about running costs. It’s simply not about that. The combined fuel economy figure of 35.8mpg with the automatic gearbox or 33.2mpg with the manual will only be possible if you barely breathe on the throttle for the entire time you’re driving, and where’s the fun in that?

With a 52-litre fuel tank, we’d expect you’ll become pretty friendly with your local petrol station attendant too. Range is going to be sub-200 miles if you’re using the engine’s performance in any real capacity.
