Towards the end of 2022, we saw the Manhart teaser for the MH2 560 kit for the latest BMW M2, and now it’s officially launched.

The customized coupe boasts a fresh carbon fibre body kit, larger wheels, new coilovers, and a substantial power boost. The tuner has hinted at even more extreme modifications in the future, keeping the details under wraps for now.

Speaking of performance enhancements, the twin-turbo 3.0-litre inline-six engine receives an impressive 99 hp (74 kW) and 100 Nm (73 lb-ft) boost thanks to Manhart’s MHtronic control unit. This pushes the modified M2 to a potent 552 hp (412 kW) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque. It is worth noting that the previous generation Manhart BMW M2 packed a whopping 705 hp (526 kW) so we know they are just getting started.

Those four pipes will produce a much more emotional experience thanks to a new exhaust system with sport or race downpipes. Chassis upgrades include V4 coilovers by KW Suspension, but for those who find it too intense, simpler coil-over springs are also an option.

Visually, the MH2 560 maintains a slightly more subtle appearance compared to the initial renders. Carbon fibre bits adorn the front grille and bumper intakes, along with a sleek splitter and a vented hood. The profile, enhanced by factory-fitted wide fenders, receives a new set of alloy wheels measuring either 20 or 21 inches, depending on the owner’s preference.

At the rear, the fixed rear wing in the renders is replaced by a prominent carbon spoiler lip and a carbon diffuser housing four 100-mm (3.9-inch) matte black tailpipes as part of the upgraded exhaust system. The MH2 560 in the pictures features matte grey and blue decals on its black bodywork, complementing the diamond-polished wheels for a sinister look.
