BMW M2 — Munich

The M2 is BMW's argument that a proper sports car doesn't need a mid-engine layout or an Italian badge — just rear-wheel drive, a straight-six under a short bonnet, and enough mechanical honesty to make every gear change feel deliberate. The 2024 model sharpens that argument further: wider track, stiffer chassis, and a cockpit that puts the driver's hands exactly where they need to be without drowning the cabin in screens. From a practical standpoint, this is a compact coupé — two doors, four seats in theory, two in real comfort — which makes it perfectly sized for Munich's narrower streets around Schwabing and the Altstadt, yet entirely capable of stretching its legs on a de-restricted A9 section north toward Ingolstadt. It's the kind of car that rewards a Starnberger See loop on a clear Saturday morning: B2 south-west, windows cracked, the inline-six settling into a crisp mid-range note along the lakeside villages before lunch in Berg or Tutzing. We hold one variant in our Munich fleet, available from €450 per day. It suits a weekend of spirited Bavarian driving better than most cars twice its price — and fits into underground parking at Maximilianstraße without the anxiety that comes with wider supercars. If you're arriving at MUC or staying at a city hotel, handover can be arranged to match your schedule and location. A note on seasons: for alpine routes toward Garmisch-Partenkirchen between November and April, winter tyres are essential on Bavarian mountain roads. We can brief you on conditions and route choices before you set off. For summer months, the M2 is arguably at its best — dry tarmac, long daylight, and roads that were practically designed for a car with this balance of grip and feedback.
