Ventura Bay is already home to a number of great looking BMW’s, and today we’re pleased to welcome the BMW M2 Coupé into Need for Speed.
With the M2 having only just been officially unveiled to the world, we’re incredibly excited to be giving this brand-new BMW its video game debut. Starting November 3rd, we can confirm that the BMW M2 Coupé will be available to drive, and customize, in Need for Speed.
The BMW M2 Coupé represents the successor of the historical BMW 1 Series M Coupé. With its 6-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive, the BMW M2 Coupé sets new benchmarks in terms of driving dynamics and agility. Moreover, the consistent use of iconic M design elements contributes to its expressive design and authentic M appearance. With an engine output of 272 kW (370 hp) and a maximum torque of 500 Nm, this car is a power pack, letting you know the true promise of ultimate driving pleasure!
Become an icon of urban car culture in Need for Speed. Race in and explore a huge nocturnal open world, express your style with authentic car customization and become immersed in a narrative staring real world icons like Magnus Walker and Ken Block.
Play your own way, in your own one of a kind car and unleash your personality on Ventura Bay. Your garage is where the magic happens and it’s here you’ll make iconic cars your own with the most authentic customisation in Need for Speed history. Take a car from stock to stock plus awesome in the blink of an eye.
Visually customise your ride with the hottest after-market brands, including Rocket Bunny, Seibon Carbon and Rauh-Welt Begriff. Equip the world’s wildest parts to build your one of a kind masterpiece.

In Ventura Bay money talks but reputation (REP) rules the streets and you’ll earn both as you carve your path through the immersive narrative in the game. Compete in events and you’ll earn the money needed to spend big on your dream garage of cars, but it’s REP which is the most important currency of all.

We’re incredibly proud of how good Need for Speed looks visually, a sentiment we know many of you share, and we’re excited to show you the game running at a higher frame rate. Seeing is believing so we’re hoping when you see and play Need for Speed running with an unlocked framerate and at a 4k resolution you’ll be just as excited as we are.
The extra development time has allowed us to create the definitive NFS PC experience. One of the burning topics of discussion amongst our Community has been the inclusion of Manual Transmission - we can now confirm this will be in the game when Need for Speed launches on PC.
With the release on PC we're also adding steering wheel support for a selection of wheels from Logitech, Thrustmaster and Fanatec. As with Manual Transmission this is a decision taken based purely on Community feedback. We’re dedicated to bringing you the best Need for Speed experience possible and your feedback has been playing a huge role in that.
When Need for Speed launches on PC it will also contain all the improvements and tweaks we’ve made up to now, including both the Icons and Legends updates from day one. The Showcase update is currently scheduled to arrive on PC shortly after launch.
The PC version of Need For Speed will be releasing on March 15th. If you’re an Origin Access member, you can play the game early for a limited time, starting March 10. Not a member? Join today.
For those players on console we can also confirm that Manual Transmission will be making its way to both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Keep an eye on official channels for future updates.
We look forward to welcoming our PC fans to Ventura Bay, we’ll see you on the streets.
