BMW has unveiled an all-new model, and for once it isn't some 25-tonne luxury SUV or a similarly lardy all-electric fastback that nobody in SA will buy because of our ridiculously high EV import duties and crumbling, unreliable electricity infrastructure.

Nope, the new M2 is none of the above. Instead it's a relatively simple two-door coupé with seating for four and a boot just large enough to accomodate a weekend away. Very nice.

2,650 and 5,870rpm. This is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via an eight-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic or a traditionalist-baiting six-speed manual gearbox. The latter – as is the case with most modern manuals these days – is bolstered by an electric aid BMW calls Gear Shift Assistant, which automatically blips the throttle when changing down a gear.

Five exterior paint finishes are available on the M2, including exclusive Toronto Red and Zandvoort Blue.Formidable in a straight line, the M2 promises to be equally adept through the curvy bits thanks to its trick underpinnings and motorsport-derived suspension technology. Drivers can also look forward to standard adaptive M suspension
