BMW M2 (G87) Clutch & Drivetrain FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

6MT or 8‑speed auto—what drivetrain upgrades help most on the G87?

For 6MT: higher‑torque clutch and light flywheel when power rises. For the 8‑speed: consider a TCU calibration and added cooling for sustained high‑load use.

Do stiffer mounts and bushings help the M2 put power down?

Yes—engine/trans mounts and differential/subframe bushings reduce movement, sharpening shift feel and improving traction on launches and corner exit.

Does the Active M Differential need attention when modding?

Fresh fluid and correct break‑in/adaptation keep the unit consistent. Higher power builds benefit from monitoring heat and ensuring coding matches hardware.
