Even in stock, the BMW M2 Competition is a pretty powerful machine. With its 3.0-liter inline-six engine under the hood generating 405 horsepower (302 kilowatts), it can accelerate from a standstill to 60 miles per hour (0-96 kilometers per hour) in just 4, 2 seconds and reach a top speed of 155. mph (250 km / h). But, again, this is what the car is capable of from the factory.
The M2 Competition uses BMW’s S55 engine which can handle impressive power levels when you know what to do with it. Thanks to several hardware changes and new software, the example you can see in the video above develops 850 hp (600 kW), which is almost double the factory horsepower. It’s done by the HC-Performance team and this video shows its full potential.
In an unrestricted section of the highway, the driver of this tuned M2 competition unleashes the wrath of the hot hatch reaching speeds of up to 186 mph (300 km / h). And the ease with which the car accelerates from 80 km / h is simply phenomenal.
There is something we would like to note, however. The car is incredibly fast and everything, but it feels like it bounces and goes sideways at high speed. Judging from the video, it’s not very stable at times and it even feels unsafe to drive – maybe a few more suspension modifications will be a nice upgrade from how it is now.
Nonetheless, it is surely one of the fastest BMWs on the highway that we have seen in the last few months. It will be very interesting to see how this M2 competition performs on the drag track provided it survives the intense races on the highway.
