Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The BMW M2 Coupe is BMW’s four-seat, rear-wheel-drive C-segment performance coupe, now in its G87 generation launched in 2023. It suits drivers who want a compact petrol coupe with 2,993 cc power and an automatic transmission rather than a lower-priced coupe. Prices start from RM623,800.

M2 Coupe in 2026 — what's new

The BMW M2 Coupe carries into 2026 unchanged. No 2026-specific M2 update is indicated, and the Malaysian line-up remains the M2 and M2 CS. Both are 2,993 cc petrol, rear-wheel-drive automatics with four seats. The regular M2 has 473 hp, while the CS raises output to 523 hp.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should choose the RM623,800 M2. It keeps the 2,993 cc petrol engine, rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission and four-seat cabin of the CS, with 473 hp. The RM950,800 M2 CS adds 50 hp, taking output to 523 hp, but costs RM327,000 more. On paper, that gap is for the CS designation and extra power, not stated mechanical or equipment changes; check the final specification before committing.

Verdict

The M2 Coupe has a focused specification: 473 hp, rear-wheel drive and four seats in a C-segment coupe. The CS raises power to 523 hp, but its RM327,000 surcharge is hard to justify on output alone when no further changes are stated. The entry M2 costs RM345,800 more than the RM278,000 Honda Prelude, so this is a costly route into the class.
