Zacoe’s Modified BMW M2 Is a Tuning Ode to the E30 M3 EVO DTM Racer

Zacoe has some impressive builds under its belt, including various models from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, and even McLaren. Its portfolio also comprises several Mercedes, numerous BMWs, and the Z4-related Toyota Supra. Recently, the new-gen M2 joined the offering.

The tuner uses modern-day technology in its projects, and its take on the latest BMW M2 is called the Meister. It uses inspiration from the E30 M3 EVO DTM racer and boasts multiple add-ons that have turned it into a racing car for the road.

Mind you, the upgrades are more than cosmetic, as they improve the car’s stability and downforce at high speeds. Some of the novelties are the fender extensions at the front and rear, side skirt add-ons, a tweaked hood, an apron, an aggressive diffuser, a spoiler at the rear, and a large wing.

The typical M tailpipes are gone, and in their place sit the centrally-mounted exhaust tips that were also Zacoe’s work. These enable an even sportier look from the tuned BMW M2 and also improve the car’s soundtrack. The wheels are also new, and they have a motorsport-inspired design.

In the official renderings released by Zacoe, the BMW M2 is portrayed with a silver finish bedecked by the typical M colors. Decals revealing the tuner’s name decorate the doors. Several elements have a black look, including the aftermarket alloys, which are certainly a nice touch to the entire project.

Those interested in making their second-gen BMW M2 look like this can choose between carbon fiber and fiberglass for the add-ons or a combination of the two. As it’s quite common with tuners these days, the Taiwan-based company hasn’t revealed the pricing of these upgrades. Nevertheless, the total sum should be a message away, so don’t forget to drop a line below if you find out how much everything costs.

Wait a minute. Did we forget to mention the oily bits? Nope. It’s just that Zacoe hasn’t left its mark on the car’s powertrain. As you already know, the pre-facelifted iteration enjoys 454 horsepower (460 ps/338 kW), and the mid-cycle refresh brought more than the usual visual revisions, as the latest is even punchier with 473 horsepower (480 ps/353 kW) produced by its twin-turbo 3.0L straight-six motor.

BMW claims 4.1 seconds from 0 to 60 mph (97 kph) in the facelifted M2 outfitted with a manual transmission, which is one-tenth faster than its predecessor. Equip it with the 8sp automatic, and the sprint will drop to 3.9 seconds, identical to its predecessor. The top speed of the 2025 BMW M2 is 177 mph (285 kph) with M Driver’s Pack, or 155 miles per hour (250 kph) without it. The upcoming M2 CS is rumored to have 525 hp and should launch next summer.
