Caralogy Analysis

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 3rd of 16 in 0–100 km/h (4.4 s), 1st of 16 in Power-to-weight (265 hp/t). 3rd of 16 in 0–100 km/h (4.4 s), 1st of 16 in Power-to-weight (265 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 10,0 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Bmw M140i xDrive (1st with 4.4 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Renault Megane 4 RS Trophy 300 (1st with 260 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 4.4 s 0-100 (3rd of 16 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the M2 Competition ranks 3rd of 16 in 0–100 km/h, 0.0 s off the reference Bmw M140i xDrive (4.4 s).

Top speed: 250 km/h (16th of 16 in Top speed)

Top speed of 250 km/h. The segment reference reaches 260 km/h.

BMW M2 Competition: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Among the 16 compacts 2016–2020, the M2 Competition ranks 3rd of 16 in 0–100 km/h (4.4 s, behind the Bmw M140i xDrive), 16th of 16 in Top speed (250 km/h, behind the Renault Megane 4 RS Trophy 300), 1st of 16 in Power-to-weight (265 hp/t, behind the Bmw M2 Competition).

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

The Bmw M140i xDrive leads in 0–100 km/h (4.4 s vs 4.4 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the M2 Competition vs Bmw M140i xDrive duel for a detailed comparison.

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
