2016–2021 BMW M2 Clutch & Drivetrain FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What clutch should I run on a tuned M2 (N55) vs M2 Competition (S55)?

For 350–450 whp, Stage 2–3 kits with organic/cerametallic discs and a lightweight flywheel balance torque capacity and street manners. Higher power or hard launches benefit from twin‑disc solutions.

Is a short shifter and bushing kit worth it on the 6MT M2?

Yes—shifter, base, and carrier bushings remove slop, and a quality short shifter tightens throws, improving precision during aggressive driving.

Does the Active M Differential need special care?

Use the correct diff fluid and service intervals, especially with track days. Aggressive alignment and sticky tires increase heat—fresh fluid maintains lockup consistency.
