When an all-new performance vehicle debuts, it’s rare for it to achieve the level of notoriety that the first-ever BMW M2 has in its one year on the market. But that’s no accident. Right out the gate, the car drew comparisons to the fabled 1M Coupe and 2002 Turbo. And while the M2 doesn’t pick up right where these two legends left off, it’s in the same vein in the best way.

The BMW M2 uses some of the same tricks as the M3 and M4, including carbon fiber brake disks and differentials, as well as a potent 365 hp engine. While this doesn’t put it on par with its larger siblings on the power end of things, the M2’s well-balanced chassis, and authentic presentation put it in a class all its own. According to Autoblog, who names the M2 one of their favorite modern BMW models, its this balance that makes all the difference.
