Common Problems: BMW M2
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.

- Front Suspension Arm / Top Mount Wear(Moderate)
The short wheelbase and stiff M chassis mean front tension struts, top mounts, and drop links take a beating on UK roads. Cars that have hit kerbs or potholes can feel nervous at motorway speed.
