Manhart MH2 700 II Package Turns the 2025 BMW M2 Into a 718-Horse Thriller

Way more powerful than a bone-stock M2, the MH2 700 II benefits from a number of hardware and software upgrades, including a sports exhaust with 200-cell HJS catalytic converters for the downpipes. Furthered by matte-black tailpipes, the muscly coupe had its transmission reinforced in order to handle that stupid amount of torque.

Available only for export markets, an OPF-delete option is offered as well, with OPF being the German acronym for gasoline particulate filter. The C8-generation Chevrolet Corvette also comes with said filters in European spec, which rob the Z06 and Stingray of a few ponies.

Pictured on 20- and 21-inch wheels from Yido Performance, this no-nonsense sports car is furthered by Champagne-painted brake calipers. The brakes carry over from the standard M2, although the suspension does not, for the upgrade package includes a Variant 4 kit or height-adjustable springs from KW Automotive GmbH.

From the standpoint of exterior aesthetic, the biggest change is – hands down – the ginormous Alpha-N rear wing. Manhart also used Alpha-N for the carbon-fiber kidney grille, front lip spoiler, hood, rear aerodynamic diffuser, and underbody. All of them are carbon fiber, with the lightweight material also used for the side skirts and the front bumper inserts.

The finishing touch is a Champagne decal set, whereas the interior undergoes a rear-seat delete in favor of a beefy roll cage. Both front seats feature Schroth harnesses. The MH2 700 II package is furthered by Manhart floor mats, and the sky is the limit as far as customization options are concerned.

Unfortunately, the German tuner did not mention any pricing information for said package or parts. On the other hand, we do know that Manhart is much obliged to sell the upgrades individually. The power-enhancing mods and carbon-fiber parts alone result in a 100,000-plus-euro build.

Over in Germany, der M2 Coupe retails at 76,600 euros for both the manual transmission and the quicker-shifting automatic. That's 80,840 dollars at current exchange rates, with $64,900 being the staring price of the G87 in the United States market.

Most likely the final M car with a manual, the M2 Coupe was updated for model year 2025 with iDrive 8.5, new paint colors, and – of course – a bit more power. When equipped with either transmission, the max output is 480 ps or 473 hp. Going manual results in a peak torque rating of 550 Nm or 406 lb-ft, whereas the auto is good for 600 Nm or 443 lb-ft. Not bad for the entry-level M car, innit?
