What’s inside

BMW’s M cars are more about performance than luxury, so while the interiors are nicely appointed, the real focus is on the powertrain and the driving dynamics. Nevertheless, the $51,995 sticker price buys a two-passenger cabin with leather bucket seats, three distinct trim offerings, and M-specific items like the steering wheel, shift knob, and plated pearlescent chrome on dash buttons and door handles. Navigation and upgraded sound systems are available.
