For a modern turbocharged BMW M Division car to remind us of those long-gone yet beloved E36 and E46 M3s, the 2017 M2 has been a corporate, divisional, and emotional success. Like those legacy screamers, this M2 is a perfectly balanced, cohesive whole with the right size, right look, right power, right brakes, and right performance in a subtle yet assertive two-door coupe.
