    New BMW M2, M2 Gran Coupé and Range-Topping 1 Series In The Works

    A new report coming from the UK indicates that BMW has given the green light to a new M2 which will also be offered in a four-wheel-drive M2 Gran Coupé variant and we could eventually see a 1 Series with more than 400 hp.

    The G87 M2 is scheduled to go on sale in the UK in 2022 and according to Autocar, it will pack a detuned version of BMW M’s latest six-cylinder petrol engine (sourced from the upcoming M3 and M4).

    Insiders expect the S58 unit to develop 420 hp (313 kW) which would see it eclipse the 416 hp (310 kW) of the Mercedes-AG A 45 S.

    Despite the M division’s move to provide other recent M models with fully variable four-wheel drive, Autocar sources said the new M2 will retain rear-wheel drive exclusively as part of plans to pitch it as a puristic, circuit-bred model in the best of BMW tradition.

    “It’s part of what makes the M2 unique in its market segment,” said an insider. “It’s also what our customers have come to expect from BMW M: a pure and undiluted driving experience.”

    The publication continues to mention that the M2 will eventually be joined by a Gran Coupé variant, despite previous reports to the contrary. This variant will get around 400 hp from a highly tuned version of the M235i Gran Coupé’s four-cylinder engine and have fully variable four-wheel drive.

    The same powerplant will transfer into the most powerful 1 Series hatchback yet, which will sit above the M135i. At this stage, it is not known what name it will get but we are thinking 1M could make a return as the M1 badge is pretty much holy ground.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
