BMW M2 Competition F87N Development

The BMW M2 Competition represents the perfect platform for performance enhancement, combining compact dimensions with the legendary S55 engine. Our latest project showcases the culmination of extensive development and testing, resulting in a perfectly balanced package that delivers exceptional performance while maintaining daily usability.

Project Overview

The F87N M2 Competition, while impressive from the factory, has significant untapped potential. Our Stage 2 development package focuses on unleashing this potential through careful optimization of key systems while maintaining the vehicle’s character and reliability.

Development Approach

Our comprehensive development strategy focused on four key areas:

1. Power Delivery

• Boost Control Strategy: Implementation of custom boost mapping with dynamic adjustment based on gear position and engine load
• Fueling Optimization: Enhanced fuel delivery mapping with safety parameters
• Ignition Timing: Advanced timing curves optimized for premium fuel
• Throttle Response: Refined throttle mapping for improved response and control

2. Thermal Management

The S55 engine requires careful thermal management for consistent performance. Our solution includes:

• Intercooling: Wagner Competition intercooler with 68% increased core volume
• Oil Temperature: Additional oil cooler with thermal management
• Coolant Flow: Optimized coolant routing and flow rates
• Heat Extraction: Enhanced underbody airflow management

3. Drivetrain Enhancement

Ensuring the drivetrain can handle the increased power while maintaining durability:

• Transmission:

  • Uprated clutch capacity
  • Modified shift points for optimal power delivery
  • Enhanced launch control parameters
  • Refined gear change characteristics

• Differential:

  • Modified differential locking parameters
  • Enhanced torque distribution mapping

4. Data-Driven Development

Our testing process utilizes advanced data acquisition:

• Real-time Monitoring:
  • Continuous logging of critical parameters
  • Live adjustment capabilities
  • Thermal monitoring across all systems
  • Load analysis and safety parameter verification
