The BMW 2002 is one of the most important models in the company’s history. It helped lay the foundation for many of the high-performance BMWs we love today, inspiring modern icons like the 2 Series and M3. It was the ultimate driving machine before the “ultimate driving machine.”
Fortunately, BMW It has not forgotten its roots. The company has just presented the M2 Turbo Design Edition, a special model inspired by the three distinctive colors that adorn the original car. 2002 Turbo In 1974 and 1975, and it looks great.
The M2 Turbo Design Edition is finished in Alpine White and features hand-painted BMW Motorsport stripes front and rear. The distinctive tri-colour design wraps around the bonnet and surrounds the trunk lid, with an offset strip running the length of the carbon fiber roof from front to rear.
A black “Turbo” graphic extends over the power dome on the hood, while a carbon fiber rear spoiler highlights the trunk lid. Standard equipment includes black M double-spoke wheels, although buyers can opt for M Performance wheels in matte gold bronze – like the ones shown here (and frankly, the right choice).
Inside, the M2 Turbo Design Edition receives thoughtful updates to replicate the exterior design. The door sill panels feature “M2 Turbo” text, and a not-so-subtle “Turbo” logo is placed just in front of the shifter. The M sports seats are upholstered in black Vernasca leather with distinctive M tri-colour accents. For those looking for something a little more aggressive, optional M Carbon seats are also available – complete with the same tri-colour detailing.
True to the spirit of the original 2002 model, which was offered with four- and five-speed manuals, the M2 Turbo Design Edition model is available exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission. It’s paired with BMW’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, producing 473 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque, enough to launch the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds.
Of course, heritage comes at a price. The M2 Turbo Design Edition starts at $84,075, including a $1,175 destination charge — nearly $15,000 more than the base 2025 M2. BMW did not say exactly how many it plans to produce, but the company confirms that it will be offered in “very limited” quantities.
