The 2027 BMW M2 is being offered with all-wheel drive, known as xDrive, which allows the car to accelerate to 60 mph in 3.3 seconds. This addition is seen as a way to enhance the car's performance and competitiveness. The all-wheel drive system includes a feature that can switch the car to rear-wheel drive, suggesting that the new model aims to balance added traction with the ability to still drift.
