BMW M2 - spy shots and exclusive picture

A prototype BMW M2 has been spied hitting the Nurburgring.

The BMW M2 will sit above the M235i i nthe range offering a more hardcore alternative.

The M2 will be the smallest M-model in BMW's range.

It'll likely get around 370bhp from a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six.

We expect the BMW M2 to cost in the region of £45,000.

The BMW M2 will arrive in the UK at the end of this year.
