Fitment questions
Do BMW M2 CV joints actually exist, or is it a rear-wheel-drive car that doesn't have them?
The BMW M2 is rear-wheel drive and does have CV joints — they are fitted to the rear driveshafts (half-shafts) to transmit drive from the differential to the rear wheels. The front axle has no driven wheels and therefore no front CV joints. When searching, make sure you specify rear CV joints or rear driveshaft joints to avoid confusion.
Will CV joints from a first-generation BMW M2 (F87, 2016–2021) fit my car?
The F87 M2 ran from 2016 to 2021 and covered two distinct variants — the original M2 and the M2 Competition introduced in 2018, which brought a different engine and revised rear subframe. Because of these changes, a CV joint from an early F87 M2 may not be a straight swap for an M2 Competition even though both are F87 generation; confirm the exact variant and year against your registration with the breaker before buying.
Does the generation boundary between the F87 M2 and the G87 M2 (2023-on) matter when buying used CV joints?
Yes, this is a critical boundary — the G87 M2, which entered production in 2023, is a substantially different car from the F87 with a new platform, new drivetrain layout, and different rear driveshaft geometry. CV joints from an F87 will not cross over to a G87, and vice versa. Always give the breaker your full registration so they can match the correct generation.
Does the trim level of my BMW M2 affect which CV joints I need?
No — the BMW M2 does not have trim levels in the conventional sense; it is a single performance model where differences are engine and generation based rather than trim based. Any cosmetic or interior packages fitted to your car make no difference to the rear driveshaft CV joints. Focus instead on confirming the exact model variant (standard M2 or M2 Competition within the F87, or G87) and year of manufacture.
Can I use CV joints from a standard BMW M2 on an M2 Competition?
The M2 Competition, introduced for the F87 in 2018, uses the S55 engine in place of the N55 and has a revised rear drivetrain, which may mean differences in the driveshaft and CV joint specification compared to the earlier standard M2. Both cars sit within the same F87 generation, so there is a chance of overlap, but this is exactly the kind of mid-generation change where you should confirm the part against your specific registration with the breaker rather than assuming compatibility.
Where are the CV joints located on a BMW M2 — are there any at the front?
On the BMW M2, CV joints are found only at the rear, on the half-shafts that connect the rear differential to each rear wheel — there is one on the nearside (NS) and one on the offside (OS), and the inner and outer joints at each end may differ in specification. Because the front wheels are not driven on this rear-wheel-drive car, there are no front CV joints at all. When ordering from a breaker, specify whether you need the NS or OS shaft and whether you need the inner or outer joint.
