BMW M2 F87

The F87 is the BMW M2 generation our specification records cover for US model years 2016–2021. Across that run EPA certified 14 versions of it for sale in America, under 4 trim names. It was sold as a coupe.

Dimensions are the figures the panel above does not carry. The F87 measures 176.4 in · 4,481 mm long, sits on a wheelbase of 105.9 in · 2,690 mm and weighs 3,512 lb · 1,593 kg. Length and wheelbase come from Transport Canada, which measures every vehicle sold in North America; curb weight from the same source.

The generation did not stand still: the strongest version rose from 365 hp in 2016 to 405 hp in 2021, and the best combined economy dropped from 22 mpg to 20 mpg. An F87 from the first model year and one from the last are not the same proposition, which is worth remembering when a listing gives only the chassis code.

Every version we hold under this code is rear-wheel drive. That matters on the used market more than it looks: which axles are driven changes the weight, the service list and the price, and the badge does not always say which you are looking at.

This archive holds 3 original US brochures covering the F87, with the text of each one searchable. They are the source of the figures no government record collects — torque, acceleration and the equipment lists — and they are what BMW told American buyers at the time rather than what is said about the car now.

Gaps are left as gaps. We do not hold curb weight for 10 of the 14, because Transport Canada does not publish a weight for every model. A dash on this site means the figure is not in a source we can name, never that it is roughly the same as the row above.
