Here we go, Bimmer fans… It’s time for every BMW M2 to face off over the quarter-mile! We’ve got our hands on the original BMW M2, the BMW M2 Competition, the BMW M2 CS and the New BMW M2 to see which is the quarter-mile king! Not only that, we’ve got our hands on the car that inspired them all - the BMW 1M Coupe!

So let’s see how they stack up. Starting with the 1M Coupe, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 340hp and 500Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the car weighs in at 1,495kg.

Next up we have the original BMW M2. It’s powered by a 3-litre turbocharged straight-six, and it can put down 370hp and 500Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,520kg.

Then we have the BMW M2 Competition. With a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, it can put down 410hp and 550Nm, and power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It’s the heaviest car in the first race, weighing 1,575kg.

Then we have the cars for the second race. Starting with the BMW M2 CS, it’s housing a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, and it can put down 450hp and 550Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it comes in lighter than the M2 Comp, at 1,550kg.

Then finally we have the newest BMW M2. It’s got a (you guessed it…) 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, and it’s the most powerful car here, putting down 460hp and 550Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s a whole lot heavier than the other cars, weighing in at 1,725kg.

So will the new M2 beat them all? Or will the extra weight work against it? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!
