These figures are provisional
The deposit, the excess and the mileage terms for this car come from our catalogue data, and we are confirming that data with the insurer while the fleet is finalised. Read them as the shape of the terms rather than as a quotation. What binds is your written quote and your hire agreement, and we check the specific car against the specific driver before you plan around it.
The deposit is refundable and held against a card in the hirer's own name at handover — it is not taken online and it is not part of the rate. Deposits, excess and driver criteria
About the BMW M2
The current car makes 473bhp from a twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six driving the rear wheels only, and reaches 62mph in 4.1 seconds with the automatic gearbox. We arrange it through partners and confirm the car first.
A short, wide, rear-drive coupe with 473bhp and no four-wheel drive to hide behind. The most old-fashioned car BMW M currently builds.
At a glance
- 473bhp 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six
- 0-62mph in 4.1 seconds with the eight-speed automatic
- Rear-wheel drive with an active M differential
- Offered with a six-speed manual, still a rarity in this class
- Four seats and a 390-litre boot
What is the M2 like to drive?
Compact and honest. It is the shortest car BMW M makes, and on a British B-road that matters more than power does. Rear-wheel drive means it needs respect in the wet, and the active differential makes it far more adjustable than the numbers suggest. The straight-six is smooth to the limiter and the eight-speed automatic changes gear faster than anyone needs.
Manual or automatic?
Both exist. The six-speed manual is increasingly rare in a performance car of this kind and is the more involving choice; the eight-speed automatic is quicker and much easier in traffic. Lease supply is weighted towards the automatic. If you specifically want the manual, say so at enquiry, because it changes which partners can help and needs more notice.
Is the M2 usable every day?
Yes, more than most of the catalogue. It has four seats, a 390-litre boot and a cabin no more demanding than a 2 Series. The ride is firm, the tyres are wide enough to follow ruts and it will not go far on a tank when used properly. As a car to enjoy every day without arranging your life around it, it is hard to beat.
What does it cost to lease a BMW M2?
A refundable £2,500 deposit is held and the excess is £2,500. The allowance is 1,000 miles a month, then £1.50 a mile. All figures include VAT and are stated before you enquire.

These are insurance conditions for this vehicle, not preferences, so we check them when you enquire rather than on the doorstep.
Provisional. The age, licence period, points tolerance, deposit and excess above are being confirmed with the insurer while the fleet is finalised — read them as the shape of the criteria, not as a decision on your lease.
If you are under the minimum age for this car, or short on licence years, say so when you enquire. We will point you at something you can lease rather than let you find out on the day.

Questions about leasing the BMW M2
Can you lease a BMW M2 in the UK?
Yes, on a sourced basis. We arrange it through a vetted partner rather than supplying it from our own fleet, and a specific car and your start date are confirmed before anything is agreed.
Is the BMW M2 rear-wheel drive?
Yes. Unlike the M3 and M4, the M2 is offered only with rear-wheel drive, which is a large part of why people want it and a good reason to treat it carefully in the wet.
How powerful is the current M2?
473bhp from a twin-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six, following the mid-life increase from 453bhp. It reaches 62mph in 4.1 seconds with the automatic and is limited to 155mph.
