Full M power in a compact, rear-wheel-drive coupe

Drive an M2

The BMW M2 is a compact M car: an S58 twin-turbo inline-six, rear-wheel drive, and a shorter wheelbase than its bigger M siblings. A BMW M2 car rental puts all of that in your hands for a day, a weekend, or longer. Start with BMW car rental on Turo to find one near you.

On Turo, you book your M2 from a local vehicle owner, so the details depend on the listing. Some cars have the manual, others the automatic, and pickup and delivery options vary by listing. Check each listing to match the car to your plans.

Twin-turbo inline-six power

The M2 runs the same S58 twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six as its bigger M siblings, and here it makes 473 hp at 6,250 rpm. Torque lands at 406 lb-ft with the manual and 443 lb-ft with the automatic. The redline sits at 7,200 rpm — plenty of room to hold a gear and let the engine sing.

Choose a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic

Your M2 comes with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic, depending on the listing. The automatic is the quicker pick, reaching 60 mph in 3.9 seconds versus 4.1 seconds for the manual. It also gets the higher torque figure — 443 lb-ft versus 406 lb-ft.

The manual suits drivers who want three pedals and full control of every shift. Each car has one or the other, so check the transmission on the listing before you book. If you're newer to driving stick, the automatic lets you enjoy all 473 hp without the clutch work.

A short wheelbase and rear-wheel drive

The M2 rides on a 108.1-inch wheelbase, shorter than its bigger M siblings that share the same platform. Weight splits 47% front and 53% rear, and every bit of that 473 hp goes to the rear wheels.

For you, that means a compact, rear-biased coupe that rewards smooth steering and throttle inputs. Take a few easy corners first to learn how the car responds, then build your pace from there. On a winding road, the short wheelbase and rear-wheel drive show the M2 at its best.

Stand out with an M2

The M2 shines on weekend escapes, canyon roads, special occasions, or a trial run before you buy an M car. Four seats and a 13.8 cu ft trunk make a two-person getaway practical — no need to pack like a minimalist. Compare it with other exotic and luxury rentals on Turo to see what else is near you.

Top M2 features

decorative separator

iDrive 8.5 and a standard digital key

Three features define the M2: modern tech, everyday usability, and genuine M lineage.

Recent M2 model years run iDrive 8.5, BMW's infotainment system, and the 2025 update made a digital key standard. That puts navigation, media, and vehicle settings in one place. Pair your phone and set your route before you pull away, so your focus stays on the drive.

Tech can vary by model year, so check the listing if a specific feature matters to you. How you get the keys depends on the car, too. You'll arrange pickup details with the local vehicle owner once your trip is booked, and the listing spells out the options.

Four seats and a 13.8 cu ft trunk

The M2 is a performance car you can live with for a few days. It seats four and offers a 13.8 cu ft trunk, so your bags for a weekend trip have a home. Fuel economy comes in at 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, or 19 mpg combined.

Those numbers make the M2 a realistic pick for a road trip as well as a quick spin. Plan your fuel stops with premium gas in mind, and you'll spend more time driving and less time hunting for the right pump. Four seats also give you room to bring a friend or two along for shorter drives.

Full M hardware in a compact footprint

The M2 shares its platform with its bigger M siblings and uses the same S58 twin-turbo inline-six. The difference is size — a shorter wheelbase and a compact footprint wrapped around full M hardware. Add rear-wheel drive and a choice of manual or automatic, and you have a classic M recipe.

That makes the M2 a smart way to sample the M lineup before you commit to buying one. A few days behind the wheel tell you far more than a quick test drive around the block. You'll learn how the car handles your commute, your favorite roads, and your weekend plans.

Top tips and things to know before renting a M2

decorative separator

Get to know your M2

Your M2 trip goes best when you learn the car, plan your fuel, and understand pricing before you book. Here's what to know.

With 473 hp going to the rear wheels, the M2 rewards a gentle right foot for the first few miles. Learn the drive modes before you head out, and ease into the throttle until you know how the car responds.

That advice holds whether you book one of the BMW rentals in Los Angeles, BMW rentals in Miami, or BMW rentals in Las Vegas. Listings vary by city, so compare transmission, model year, and delivery options before you pick your M2.

M2 driving tips

Fill up with premium gas, confirm the listing details, and drive with extra care on cold or wet roads. A few quick checks set you up for a smooth trip:

Fill up with premium gas, which the M2's twin-turbo engine calls for.
Confirm whether your listing has the manual or the automatic before you book.
Ease in on cold or wet roads, since rear-wheel drive and 473 hp demand a lighter touch.
Check the distance included on the listing, since some offer unlimited mileage as an Extra.

How much does it cost to rent an M2?

The cost to rent an M2 on Turo depends on the model year, trip length, extras, and delivery. Compare listings for your dates to see the full price breakdown before you book.

You can save 10% on non-refundable trips booked four or more days ahead. Trip-length discounts can also apply to three-day, weekly, and monthly trips. For trips of 30 days or more, look into long-term car rental on Turo.

  1. * Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

  2. For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
