BMW Australia raises prices on most models

No matter how hard it tries, BMW hasn’t been able to escape the shadow of its legendary sports coupes.
From the E30 M3 that started it all to the E46 M3 that some enthusiasts argue represents the high watermark for the breed, to bigger and badder beasts like the E39 M5, the brand is a victim of its own success.
Every time it releases a new M coupe, it needs to escape the shadow of past legends before it can be judged on its merits. The latest car faced with that unenviable task is the new M2 Coupe.
Under the skin, the M2 has evolved significantly compared to its predecessor. Rather than an uprated 2 Series, it’s become a slightly smaller take on the M3.
It’s being sold as a more grown-up take on the formula we knew and loved before, but one that hasn’t lost the essential small car, big engine magic that defined it.
