The BMW M2 checks most of the performance boxes and has plenty of everything to keep the driver enticed, but sometimes, 370PS (365hp) and 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) of torque are just not enough.

Or that’s what Alpha-N Performance reckons, as the German tuner uprated the M2’s straight-six, twin-scroll turbocharged engine in three steps; to 400 PS/394hp and 580 Nm (428 lb-ft), 415 PS/409hp and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft), and to 430 PS/424hp 620 Nm (457 lb-ft).

The Stage 3 upgrade comes without a top speed governor and includes a racing downpipe without catalytic converters. As optional equipment, Alpha-N Performance offers customers the chance to opt for a free-flow silencer with throttle control for a throaty racecar exhaust note.

To keep it in line with the oomph under the hood, the tuner bedizened the M2 with an aggressive body-kit, which includes a choice of three boot lid mounted spoilers, one of which is an in-house designed, fully adjustable, carbon-fiber rear wing. But if that doesn’t get you going, Alpha-N Performance says it’ll offer an M4 GTS lookalike rear wing from Edison Composites, or the
Racing-Style M235i Motorsport wing shortly, as well as other M4-style carbon-fiber components.

Completing the visual package is a matching splitter for the front spoiler and a set of OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels in mixed 9.0 and 10.0×19-inch sizes, shod with 245/35ZR19 and
265/35ZR19 tires.

Further improving the vehicle’s stability through the bends is a Öhlins fully adjustable Road & Track coilover suspension that lowers the ride height for a more purposeful stance and improved chassis dynamics.
