The BMW M2 Competition is a compact, rear-wheel-drive performance coupe that slots into the entry-level of BMW's M lineup. Aimed squarely at driving enthusiasts who want a focused, track-capable machine for everyday road use, the 2020 and 2021 model years represent the final evolution of the first-generation M2 platform before BMW redesigned the nameplate. It is a niche, low-volume machine with a devoted following.
The 2021 BMW M2 Competition has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 0 recalls and 1 owner complaint on file, giving it a clean recall and complaint burden.

Reviewers generally celebrate the M2 Competition as one of the most rewarding compact performance coupes available in its era, praising its sharp, communicative steering, well-sorted chassis balance, and strong engine response. Interior materials and refinement are considered a step above the segment norm, though the cabin is acknowledged as compact and focused rather than luxurious. Most reviewers position it as outstanding value within the BMW M lineup.
