# BMW M2 Gran Coupe Reportedly Coming in 2019

Those of you wanting to get into what is probably the best-driving BMW M car on sale today but unable to justify a two-door coupe to your significant other, we have good news. BMW is apparently planning to slap a pair of rear doors onto its [fantastic M2](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/10712/the-bmw-m2-at-lime-rock-still-the-coupe-du-jour>).

According to a report from [*Autocar*](<https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/bmw-m2-gran-coup%C3%A9-due-next-year-365bhp-rival-rs3-saloon>), the Bavarian automaker is preparing to introduce a 2 Series Gran Coupe, naturally including a GC version of the hardcore M version. For those unfamiliar with BMW vernacular, Gran Coupe is the suffix BMW attaches to its two-door models when it wants to give it four-doors but inexplicably still calls it a "coupe."

The report says the M2 Gran Coupe will be powered by the same 365-horsepower, 3.0-liter, turbocharged straight-six found in the regular M2, be available with a six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and drop sometime in 2019.

The [M2](<https://thestore.thedrive.com/>) competes directly against the [Audi RS3](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/15127/2018-audi-rs3-review-behold-the-worlds-most-expensive-small-sedan>) and Mercedes-AMG CLA 45. Widely recognized as the most engaging to drive, the M2 will now match its rivals on practicality with the introduction of a stretched-and-sloped Gran Coupe version.

While BMW has yet to officially acknowledge the existence of a future four-door 2er, we've reached out to the company for comment on this latest report and will update this story if we get a response.

***UPDATE:*** In an email, a BMW spokesperson told *The Drive* that they are "unable to comment or speculate on potential future product."
