Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 M2.
The 2019 BMW M2 is a passenger car that pairs a turbocharged inline-six engine with an automatic AM-S7 transmission, achieving EPA ratings of 17 city/23 highway/19 combined mpg. With just one owner complaint on file—focused on the engine—and a single recall, this model year posts the lowest complaint count in the M2’s 2016–2023 history, a sharp drop from the 2017 peak of 17 complaints and even below the 2018 tally of three. That places the 2019 as the most trouble-free year in the generation, offering researchers a strong reliability benchmark within the model’s lifespan.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Across the M2 generation, federal complaints climb to a peak of 17 in 2017 before dropping to 3 in 2018 and 0 in 2019, while technical service bulletins fall sharply from 131–135 in the launch years to 38 by 2019 and just 7 by 2023. Recalls hold steady at one per year for 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2023, with 2017 being the only outlier at zero. The 2019 model sits near the bottom of this improvement arc, posting zero complaints and a steeply reduced TSB count that suggests the platform had matured significantly since its introduction. One recall still registers for the year, so the federal record is not spotless, but the downward trajectory in both complaints and service bulletins is clear. Given these generational lows in reported issues, 2019 stands out as one of the most settled years to buy, provided the open recall is completed.
