M Performance upgrades for the BMW M2 and recently launched BMW M2 CS have been announced in Germany, where they will be available from July 2026.
While an M Performance exhaust is available for the M2 CS, the M Performance Track Kit for the standard M2 Coupe offers upgrades for owners who want to take their car to the track, and BMW says it’s all about experiencing the thrill of driving.
“Track Days promote a sense of community by bringing like-minded people together to share their passion for motorsports and BMW M automobiles,” says a press release from BMW Germany.

BMW Australia has been contacted to confirm whether the M Performance upgrade packages will be offered here.
The track kit lowers the M2 coupe by 20mm and a manually adjustable lower front splitter is among the aerodynamic improvements tested in the wind tunnel by M Performance driver and engineer Jörg Weidinger.
The splitter is said to work with new wheel arch diffusers and an air scoop under the oil cooler of the turbocharged in-line six-cylinder engine, a combination that is intended to provide more downforce and therefore faster cornering.
The package also includes the BMW M4 GT4 “gooseneck” rear wing, which BMW says was also used on the M4 GT3 race car that won the Bathurst 12 Hour race.
In “Race Mode” of the M2 Track Pack, the rear wing moves 50 mm further back, while in “Street Mode” it returns to the original dimensions of the M2 to remain road legal (at least in Germany), according to BMW.
Other features include four-way adjustable dampers, adjustable top mounts and, according to BMW, the first road-legal mass damper system installed on a production model.
It’s an extensive set of upgrades, but it comes with a significant cost of €25,500 ($A$39,039) plus taxes in Germany.
If sold at the same price here, the M2’s price would rise from $128,900 to $167,939 before it hits the road – close to the M2 CS’s price of $172,900 plus ORCs.
For the CS, which is already 8 mm lower than the regular M2, the M Performance exhaust optimizes the sound of the twin-turbo S58 in-line six-cylinder, according to BMW.
Priced at 8,343 euros ($13,861) in Germany, the system doesn’t bring an official increase to the CS’s 390kW/650Nm output – versus the standard M2’s 353kW/600Nm – but instead replaces the CS’s four black exhaust outlets with carbon and titanium versions.
It is also claimed to shave 8kg off the M2 CS’s curb weight of 1700kg.
The first all-wheel-drive version of the M2 (both generations of BMW’s entry-level M car, including the original 2016 F87 and the latest 2023 G87, were exclusively rear-wheel drive) is also apparently on the horizon, after the M2 xDrive model name was briefly posted on BMW USA’s website last week and then removed.
