M Performance upgrades for the BMW M2 and recently launched BMW M2 CS have been announced in Germany, where they will become available from July 2026.
A. M2 CS-based exhaust, while the standard M3 coupe’s M Performance Track Kit offers upgrades designed for owners looking to track days and BMW says they’re all about having an experience of driving like a car driver.
A BMW Germany news paper cited “Track days are an example of community-building, whereby like-minded people come together to share their passion for motorsport and BMW M cars”.

BMW Australia has been contacted to confirm whether the M Performance upgrade packages will be offered here.
The M2 coupe is lowered by 20mm with the Track Kit, which was wind-tunnel tested by M Performance driver and engineer Jörg Weidinger’s aerodynamic upgrades that included a manually adjustable lower front splitter.
This splitter has been designed to work with new wheel-arch diffusers and an air scoop under the turbocharged inline six-cylinder’s oil-cooler, a combination that is claimed as having more downforce and therefore faster cornering.
The package also brings the BMW M4 GT4 ‘swan neck’ rear wing, which BMW says is also used on the Bathurst 12 Hour-winning M4 GT3 racer.
In a M2 Track Pack’s ‘Race Mode’, the rear wing is 50mm further back while in ‘Street Mode” it returns inside within the original dimensions of an M2, BMW said that road-legal (in Germany at least) remains road–legal.
Besides, it has four-way adjustable dampers and variable support bearings as well as what BMW claims is the first road-legal mass damper system fitted to a production model.
It’s a serious set of upgrades, but it comes at a serious cost of €25,500 ($A39,039) plus taxes in Germany.
Similarly, if it’s sold here at the same price, it would increase the price of the M2 from $128.900 to $167,939 before on-roads – close to the cost of an M2, CS ($172,900 plus ORCs).
BMW The CS, which already sits 8mm below the regular M2, fine tunes the timbre of the twin-turbo S58 inline six for the newer model.
It is a system that does not officially increase to the outputs of the CS’s 390kW/650Nm (up from the standard M2’353kW or 600NM) – but replaces the four black exhaust outlets used by the ‘CS,’ with carbon and titanium versions.
It’s also claimed to shave 8kg from the M2 CS’s kerb weight of 1700kg.
The first all-wheel drive version of the M2 (both generations of BMW’s entry-level M-car, including the original F87 of 2016 and the latest G87 launched in 2023, have been exclusively rear-wheel drive) is also apparently on the horizon, after the M2 xDrive model name was briefly published on the BMW USA website last week, before being removed.
