The car
The first M2, the F87, reached US showrooms in spring 2016: a compact two-door coupe built around a 3.0-liter inline-six with a single TwinScroll turbocharger. BMW M gave it the lightweight aluminum front and rear axles of the M3 and M4, and 19-inch forged wheels, 9 inches wide at the front and 10 at the rear.
A six-speed manual is standard, and the seven-speed M DCT dual-clutch with Drivelogic was the option; either way the rear wheels are driven through an Active M Differential. BMW quotes 0–60 mph in 4.4 seconds with the manual and 4.2 with the M DCT and Launch Control, a US curb weight of 3,450 pounds for the manual car, and an electronically limited 155 mph.
Two later cars have their own pages. The M2 Competition (F87) took the twin-turbo S55 engine from the M3 and M4, and the second-generation M2 (G87) moved to the S58 and an eight-speed automatic.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and takes it from 365 hp and 343 lb-ft to 435 hp and 420 lb-ft on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 is calibrated for supporting bolt-on modifications and high-octane fuel, for 455 hp and 440 lb-ft. The gearbox has its own controller and torque limits, so the optional TCU tune raises them to match, with sharper shifts and stronger clutch clamping.

Our online catalog lists Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes for 2016–2020 BMW M2 (F87) models. Choose your year at the top of the page; the figures and prices are the same for every year.
Look at the engine and, on two-pedal cars, the gearbox. The F87 has a single-turbo six and offers a seven-speed M DCT dual-clutch, while the G87 uses the twin-turbo S58 shared with the M3 and M4 and an eight-speed M Steptronic automatic. The G87 also rides on a wheelbase 2.1 inches longer and has its own page, M2 (G87).
No. This page is the original F87 M2 with the single-turbo engine. The M2 Competition (F87) uses the twin-turbo S55 from the M3 and M4, with extra radiators and an engine oil cooler, and leaves the factory with a different rating, so it has a page of its own.
Stage 1 is calibrated for the car as it left the factory and runs on pump-grade fuel. Stage 2 pairs the calibration with supporting bolt-on modifications such as downpipes and runs on high-octane fuel. On a 2020 car, Stage 1 takes it from 365 hp to 435 hp. Stage 2 takes it to 455 hp.
A TCU tune is available as an add-on ($1,999). It raises the transmission’s torque limits and sharpens the shifts so the gearbox can handle the extra power. Ship your TCU in the same box as your ECU.
