This feisty. small BMW M2 Coupé with incredible acceleration has the same engine that’s in the M3 and M4 models but it has been detuned by 20 horsepower. The M2 comes standard with adaptive M suspension, active M differential and M compound brakes. The characteristics of the chassis can be individually adjusted for a more comfortable or sportier ride. The BMW M2 has an aggressive and sculpted design with its squared off front, M frameless kidney grille showcasing horizontal bars and LED headlamps, available adaptive LED headlights. The rear has a wide stance, an M exhaust system with quad tailpipes, an M rear spoiler, LED taillights. a staggered 19” and 20” wheel configuration and a tire repair kit.

The interior of the BMW M2 is modern, clean and driver focused. The shifter, start/stop button, BMW controller, are grouped within a modern looking control panel at the centre console. There is a significant decrease in the number of buttons and controls in favour of digital controls for various functions. The 14.9” touchscreen and 12.3” digital driver display is behind a single glass surface. Vernasca leather and high gloss black trim are both standard but carbon fibre or aluminum trim and Merino leather are available.

The BMW M2 starts at $63,200 USD.

Fuel economy isn’t great, but most don’t buy a car like this for its fuel efficiency. With the manual transmission it gets a combined 12.4L/100 km and with the automatic transmission a combined 12.7L/100 km. That’s 19 MPG for the manual and 18.5 MPG for the automatic.

China’s BYD will ‘Destroy’ EV market if it sells vehicles in the US. An expert warns as BYD outsells Tesla in latest quarter. China’s top electric car maker, BYD, has outsold Tesla. Making it the biggest EV company in the final quarter of 2023.
It sold around 525,000 cars, while Tesla sold around 485,000. Both record quarters for the companies.
Lauren Fix, an automotive expert at Car Coach Reports, gives her take on the result.

Tesla announced it had "produced approximately 495,000 vehicles and delivered over 484,000 vehicles" for Q4. The company noted that its full year vehicle delivery number was up 38% to 1.81 million, slightly less than recently revised expectations for the year. Nonetheless, total deliveries mark a record quarter for the EV manufacturer. The company manufactured approximately 1.85 million vehicles for the period. 

Speaking of electric cars, battery material has been a huge issue. The U.S. Department of Energy has discovered a massive lithium deposit beneath California's Salton Sea, potentially making the U.S. self-sufficient in this critical battery metal and impacting the global lithium market. This could help supplement existing sources of lithium. Timothy Kelly, President of Imperial Valley Economic Development Corporation explains. The costs, environmental impact and government regulations will be part of the consideration and costs.
