Earlier this year BMW took four cars to the Nurburgring to put them through their paces, one of them was the M2 which grabbed a lap record at the circuit.
Kitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup2 rubber it set a brisk time of 7:38.706 which takes the title of fastest production Compact Car around the ‘Ring from the Audi RS3.
To put the BMW M2’s accomplishment in perspective, the previous M2 Competition completed a lap in 7:52.36, over 13 seconds slower than the current car.
