Take a break with these pretty pictures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every few Fridays, we like to bring you <\/em>moments of zen<\/em><\/a> in the form of some of our favorite motorcars from around the Turo marketplace. Let\u2019s keep the fun going. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M2 is the baby of BMW\u2019s M division. The coupe\u2019s limited dimensions, however, do not mean it lacks in performance. The M2, redesigned last year for 2023, has long been praised by drivers for its mix of force and agility, and this newest version is the most potent yet. It uses the same twin-turbo inline-six found in the larger and more expensive M3<\/a>, just detuned by 20 horsepower (453 horses). The result is 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and when you add elite handling, a standard manual transmission, and relative usability for everyday driving, the M2 was named Motortrend\u2019s 2024 Performance Vehicle of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Bashar\u2019s 2024 M2. This one\u2019s a bit special \u2014 it has the optional M Performance exhaust, which moves the quad exhaust tips to the center, sheds about 18 pounds of weight with a titanium rear silencer, and incorporates electrically controlled flaps so you can customize your level of roar. This small-but-mighty BMW<\/a> also has the optional carbon fiber aero kit, adding black fins and blades along the sides for an even more aggressive effect. Not everyone\u2019s into that look, but it does communicate that this car means business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M2 is everything enthusiasts say they want. Immense power, communicative handling, and daily drivability in a compact, rear-wheel drive coupe. Bashar\u2019s M2 has the eight-speed automatic transmission, but the model comes standard with a stick shift. Though the back seats are probably only fit for children, the interior materials are top notch. And the driver\u2019s seat is where you want to be anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
