2026 BMW M2 with M xDrive steps out

BMW has unveiled the 2026 M2 model featuring the M xDrive all-wheel drive system. The vehicle includes performance upgrades like an Active M Differential and M Compound brakes, with Australian pricing and availability details expected shortly.
Why it matters
This release represents a significant technical evolution for the M2 platform, balancing high-performance track capabilities with the added traction of an intelligent all-wheel drive system.
As one would expect, the M xDrive all-wheel drive system is rear-biased and only powers the rear axle under normal running – it’s not until more grip or traction is needed that the front axle is engaged.
