BMW M Reveals 2026 M2 Turbo Design Edition as Manual-Only U.S. Tribute to the 2002 Turbo

The limited edition focuses on hand-painted heritage styling over new performance.

Overview

  • BMW introduced the special-run model at Road Atlanta during Motul Petit Le Mans, framing it as a design-led homage to the 1970s 2002 turbo.
  • Each car is finished in Alpine White with hand-painted BMW Motorsport stripes, a reversed “turbo” hood graphic, a carbon roof with integrated M colors, and an M Performance carbon rear spoiler.
  • Power comes from the familiar S58 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 473 hp and 406 lb-ft, paired exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and without mechanical upgrades.
  • The edition is U.S.-specific and described as extremely limited, with production slated for the first quarter of 2026 and deliveries beginning in early second quarter, while the exact build count remains undisclosed.
  • Pricing is reported as $82,900 plus $1,175 destination or $84,075 including fees, and options such as the $2,500 M Driver’s Package, $4,500 M Carbon bucket seats, and $6,266 Matte Gold Bronze 1000M wheels can push the total near M2 CS territory.
