Key points
BMW M2 can now be had with the M xDrive all-wheel-drive hardware as an optional extra.
For the uninitiated, the M2 was the last M car that stayed true to the M roots, offering a setup where power goes to the rear.
All its bigger siblings switched to the xDrive, inviting a lot of criticism from the enthusiasts.
But for the bigger siblings, the hardware was necessary to handle the increase in power output.
But thereās no change in power output in the M2. The M xDrive splits the power developed by the 480bhp straight-six between the front and rear axles.
