Which BMW M2 year has the most problems?
By owner complaints filed with NHTSA, the BMW M2 model years with the most are the 2017 (17), 2016 (5) and 2018 (3). Newer model years have had less time on the road, so their counts are naturally lower; compare years of a similar age.
Which BMW M2 years have the fewest complaints?
