M2 versions and Canadian prices

Prices are MSRPs; freight, fees and taxes are extra. BMW Canada priced the updated 2025 M2 at CA$78,300 with the manual as a no-charge option; The Car Guide's 2026 price is CA$3,600 higher. Top speed is limited to 250 km/h, or 285 km/h with the M Driver's Package.

The M2 CS

BMW Canada announced the 2026 M2 CS in May 2025 from CA$125,000, built in limited numbers from August 2025. It makes 50 hp and 36 lb-ft more than an automatic M2 and weighs 44 kg less, with a carbon roof, trunk lid and mirror caps and forged wheels. The M Driver's Package is standard, for a limited top speed of 302 km/h. Ask a BMW retailer about remaining cars.

M2 luxury tax and fuel

Luxury tax: it is the lesser of 10% of the price or 20% of the amount over CA$100,000, and it applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 3,856 kg or less. BMW Canada lists the M2 CS's GVWR at 2,125 kg, so the tax applies: CA$5,000 at its CA$125,000 base price, plus 20% of the price of any options. A regular M2 stays under the threshold until options pass about CA$18,100.

Figures are NRCan's L/100 km ratings. Weighted 55% city and 45% highway, all three come to about 12.6 to 12.7 L/100 km, under the 13 L/100 km green levy threshold.

What's next for the M2

In May 2026, BMW announced a pre-chamber ignition system for the M2, M3 and M4 inline six, with output unchanged. Its global release dates European M2 production from August 2026 but gives no Canadian timing, so ask the retailer whether a car has it. Confirm the model year too: no-charge maintenance on 2027 gas models drops to 2 years or 40,000 km.

M2 warranty and recalls

Recalls: Transport Canada lists no recalls under the M2 name for 2016 to 2027 models. Starter recalls 2026-040 and 2026-331 (July 2026) cover some 2023 to 2025 2 Series models, because an overheating starter can create a fire risk, and BMW advises not using remote start until repaired. They don't name the M2, so check a specific car's VIN with Transport Canada or a BMW retailer.

Buying a used M2 in Canada

Know the generations

Among first-generation cars, The Car Guide reported 405 hp for the M2 Competition in 2019, and the 444 hp M2 CS reached Canada in 2020 with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch. Auto123 introduced the current generation as a 2023 model with 453 hp, and BMW added 20 hp for 2025.

Watch for modifications and track use

Some M2s for sale have been tuned or fitted with aftermarket exhausts. Ask for service records and about track use, check tires and brakes, and get a pre-purchase inspection by a BMW specialist.

Check warranty coverage

A 2023 or newer M2 may still have new-vehicle coverage, and BMW Certified cars are up to five years old with up to 120,000 km.
