BMW priced the 2026 M2 Turbo Design Edition at $82,900. That is the base MSRP on BMW’s official M2 Turbo Design Edition press kit. Destination and handling are $1,175. Tax, title, and license are extra. The factory book lists one gearbox: a six-speed manual. No Steptronic. No dual-clutch. Three pedals only.
Only the clutch in the book
This is the clutch graf, and BMW printed it in the kit. The limited Alpine White Turbo Design Edition “comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission.” The original 2002 turbo ran a four-speed or optional five-speed stick, and the homage keeps that recipe: a plate ahead of the shifter reads “turbo” over an M stripe. Gear Shift Assistant rev-matching is in the M Setup menu if you want it. Curb weight is listed at 3,814 pounds.
The official number board
BMW’s Woodcliff Lake sheet puts it at:
- Base MSRP: $82,900
- Destination and handling: $1,175
- Optional M Performance Style 1000M wheels in Matte Gold Bronze: $6,266
- Optional M Carbon bucket seats: $4,500

Power is the 3.0-liter M TwinPower Turbo inline-six at 473 horsepower and 406 lb-ft. Official 0–60 is 4.1 seconds. Top speed is 155 mph, or 177 with the M Driver’s Package. Rear-wheel drive only. Standard kit includes the M Carbon roof with tricolor striping, M Performance carbon rear spoiler, Adaptive Full LED lights with M Shadowline, Live Cockpit Professional with Head-Up Display, heated M Alcantara steering wheel, and Black Vernasca leather M Sport seats with M Color Highlight.
Hand-painted Motorsport stripes wrap the hood and trunk. The black hood graphic spells “turbo” in mirror writing. Unique “M2 turbo” sill plates greet you when the doors open. Production started in extremely limited numbers in January 2026 after the Motul Petit Le Mans reveal at Road Atlanta.
$82,900 before destination for a 473-hp compact M coupe that refuses an automatic. That is the whole story the factory wrote.
