M Performance Track Kit: road-legal top performance.
Track days are becoming an increasingly popular pastime for drivers with sporting ambitions. They relish the chance to enhance their performance on a closed track and to explore the dynamic capabilities of their BMW M. Track days are all about the thrill of driving, about vehicle control and the experience of performance. In addition, track days promote a sense of community by bringing like-minded people together to share their passion for motorsport and BMW M automobiles. To push the boundaries even further at these events, an M Performance Track Kit will become available for the BMW M2. It enables the base vehicle to deliver even sharper handling and performance on the track.
The M Performance Track Kit includes a manually adjustable front splitter that can be deployed for use on the track. It forms a single unit with the front diffuser. This feature is complemented by wheel arch diffusers, which are not adjustable, and a scoop under the upstream engine oil cooler. The front splitter/diffuser significantly increases downforce, with aero flicks adding even more grip. Added to this is a manually adjustable swan neck rear wing, as used on the BMW M4 GT4 and BMW M4 GT3 customer racing models. The rear wing’s angle of attack can be varied, with two settings available to maximize downforce on the rear axle depending on the characteristics of the track. It also features a unique “Race Mode” in which the rear wing is moved by 50 millimetres toward the rear, significantly increasing the wing’s aerodynamic effectiveness. Another eye-catching, unique feature is the brake light integrated into the rear wing.
Other elements include a threaded chassis with 4-way adjustable rebound and compression damping, adjustable support bearings and the first special motorsport damper system to also be road-legal. In addition, the chassis can be lowered by up to 20 millimetres at the front and rear. The height adjustment is infinitely variable.
The Track Kit’s components were developed in collaboration with BMW M specialists, who can draw on expertise gained in the course of countless races and victories. All components were aerodynamically optimized in the BMW wind tunnel. Jörg Weidinger – who is both a record driver and BMW M test engineer responsible for chassis development – was in charge of overall fine-tuning. The components all interact in a unique way, especially when combined with ultra-track tires. It’s a truly special achievement that requires the exceptional know-how of a company like BMW.
The M Performance Track Kit will be available for order in the thrid quarter of 2026, and pricing will be available closer to the on-sale date.
