AUTOMOBILE是创办于1986的美国汽车杂志，而BMW M2刚赢下他们的“2017 全明星大奖”（2017 AUTOMOBILE All-Stars: The Winners）

AUTOMOBILE对M2如此评价：

“On track, the M2 comes alive, cohering to the driver’s will in a way no recent M car has,” Ireson gushed. Fully disable the overly intrusive stability control, and the stubby little BMW coupe really shines. It’s not a laser-precise circuit dancer like Porsche’s 718 Cayman S, but it offers boundless fun nonetheless. The short wheelbase and torque-rich engine made thrashing the M2 around the tight track an absolute blast. Massive, childish drifts are only a wiggle of your right foot away.”

翻译：

“在赛道上，M2生龙活虎，比其他M car更能配合驾驶员。将车身稳定系统全关后，这台粗短的小宝马才大放异彩。M2不像保时捷718如镭射般精准起舞，但它能提供无穷无尽的乐趣，短轴距加上强大扭矩，在小赛道上开M2绝对爽爆，可以很夸张、很小孩子气一样漂移！”
