BMW M Civil War: M2 vs M4 vs M5 vs M6 In A Straight Line


This is a race with some clear and obvious winners but that wasn’t the point; the point was to demonstrate how BMW has laid out its M cars, starting from the M2 all the way up to the M6.

That doesn’t mean that there are no surprises hidden in this drag and rolling race; we don’t want to spoil anything but let’s just say that a certain car proved to be nippy enough.

CarWow brought a manual M2 to compete with its big brothers, including an M4, an M5 30 Jahre Edition and an M6 Competition Package which all came fitted with a dual-clutch gearbox.

In terms of performance, the M5 30 Jahre and the M6 Competition Package are the ones to top the charts as they are both motivated by a 600 horsepower version of the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8. The M4 Competition Package trails behind with just 450 horses out of its twin-turbo 3.0-liter straight-six unit but if we learned anything from the past is that the M4 is an absolute beast, on a straight line at least.

How does the 370 horsepower M2 compare to its bigger brothers? Will it be able to keep up or will it fall behind from the get-go? CarWow’s latest video has all the answers.
