Could a BMW Individual M2 Competition be in the cards?
The BMW Individual program, much like Porsche's paint-to-sample option, allows buyers to select from a seemingly endless range of non-factory colors to create a one-of-a-kind car that is just for them. We have seen how colorful cars such as the M3 and M4 can be with a unique paint job, but sadly this option is not available on certain BMW models. The BMW X models cannot currently be configured with individual paint, nor can the 2 Series - although this could change if enough customers demand it.
At the M2 and M5 Competition media launch in Ascari, Spain, BMW Blog asked Carsten Pries, Head of Product Management for BMW M, about the possibility of adding individual paint on the M2. “The demand for BMW Individual customization has been constantly increasing and we see lots of customers opting for unique colors, especially on models like the M3 and M4,” Pries said. “We have also received lots of requests on a BMW Individual program for the 2 Series models and its top offering, the M2 Coupe.”
If so many people are asking for an M2 with custom paint, why doesn't BMW offer it? Preis explained that the paint processes set up in the Leipzig and Spartanburg plants simply couldn't handle the strain of painting individual colors. “The Leipzig and Spartanburg plants have complex processes for the paint job, and currently, those plants are unable to deliver BMW Individual colors without new processes being put in place,” Pries said. “We are, of course, always looking at ways to expand our BMW Individual catalog, and with our colleagues at the plants, we’re going to further explore this topic, but for now, there is no timeline.”
BMW did build one custom M2 with an Austin Yellow paint job. The car is owned by famous collector Michael Fux, and the price was reportedly over $100,000 (image credit: @todorov5). With the new M2 Competition on the way, we would love to see more colors from BMW's past such as Laguna Seca Blue and Daytona Violet. Hopefully, BMW listens to its customers and allows for more custom paint options.
M3 buyers are going to have plenty of choice when the new model arrives.
Last week, an anonymous source from BMW Blog informed the outlet that the next-generation BMW M3 would retain its manual transmission option. This was great news for enthusiasts who prefer to row their own gears, though it is still only a rumor. The same source also reportedly confirmed that the M3 will be offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive. This information was a bit confusing because we didn't know whether or not this meant the M3 would get two separate drivetrains, or the same AWD system as the M5, which can switch to RWD at the press of a button.
According to new information from BMW Blog, the source has clarified that the next M3 will indeed be offered with two separate drivetrain options - sDrive and xDrive. So, if you just hate the idea of an AWD M3, don't worry because you'll still be able to order a purely RWD car. We still do not know if the xDrive model will have a RWD mode like the M5, though the existence of the sDrive model may make such a mode irrelevant.
It also remains to be seen whether or not both the sDrive and xDrive models will offer the manual transmission. If BMW does choose to offer both with the manual, it would be the first time an AWD M car would be sold with a stick shift.
BMW will also release a hardcore M3 Competition variant at launch, which should only come with xDrive AWD. Though enthusiasts may prefer RWD for tail-sliding goodness, AWD makes sense to improve 0-60 times, lap times, and sell more cars in cold climates. We think offering RWD and AWD is very smart because it will allow BMW to compete with the Audi RS5 and give the M3 an advantage over the Mercedes C63.
