BMW M2 Camshaft Replacement Parts

Yes, every variant of the BMW M2 has camshafts — the M2 has always been a petrol-engined car with a conventional multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, and camshafts are a fundamental part of that engine's valve train. Both the F87 M2 (2016–2021) and the G87 M2 (2022–present) use inline-six petrol engines with twin camshafts per cylinder bank (DOHC), so there are camshafts to source. You'll need to confirm the exact engine code from your V5 or a VIN check before ordering.

No — the F87 and G87 M2 are entirely different generations built around different engines, so their camshafts are not interchangeable. The F87 uses the S55 straight-six engine, while the G87 uses the S58, and these are mechanically distinct units with different camshaft profiles, dimensions, and fitment. Always match the camshaft to the engine code, not just the M2 badge, and confirm compatibility with the breaker against your exact registration.

No, not directly — although both are F87 generation cars, the standard F87 M2 uses the S55 engine while the M2 Competition introduced from 2018 uses the S63-derived S58... actually, the M2 Competition uses the S55's sibling the S58 is G87 — the M2 Competition uses the S55 but in a different state of tune with revised internals, and BMW did make changes to the camshaft specification between the two variants. Treat these as different engine builds and confirm with the breaker whether the specific camshaft part number from a standard S55 crosses over to the Competition S55 variant against your registration.

No — trim level, colour, and any cosmetic or interior specification make absolutely no difference to camshaft fitment on the M2. The camshaft is determined entirely by the engine code, which you'll find on your V5 logbook or through a VIN check. Give the breaker your engine code and they'll be able to confirm whether the unit they have matches your engine.

Both a 2016–2017 standard F87 M2 and a 2019 F87 M2 Competition sit within the same generation, but BMW made changes to the S55 engine specification when the Competition variant launched in 2018, and camshaft profiles can differ between these builds. Confirm your exact engine code from the V5 and supply it to the breaker so they can check the specific part number rather than relying on year alone. Year is a useful starting point but engine code is what actually determines fitment here.

Potentially, since the F80 M3 and F82 M4 share the S55 engine used in the F87 M2, and the G80 M3 and G82 M4 share the S58 used in the G87 M2 — in principle the same engine code means the same camshaft family. However, BMW does make running production changes and there may be ancillary or specification differences between applications, so treat this as a strong lead rather than a guarantee. Confirm the exact part number with the breaker against your registration before purchasing.
