Choosing the right used BMW M2 propshaft
Used propshafts vary between vehicles - and whether you call it used, second hand or a replacement, matching the right one matters. These are the details breakers need to match the right part to your car - our request form asks them so you only hear from suppliers with the correct part:
- State if it's 2WD or 4WD
- State whether it's front or rear if applicable

Fitment questions
Does the BMW M2 have a propshaft?
Yes – the BMW M2 is a rear-wheel-drive coupé across all generations, so it uses a propshaft to transmit drive from the gearbox to the rear axle. Every variant of the M2, from the original F87 through to the current G87, has one. This means used propshafts are a legitimate and commonly sourced part for this model.
Will a propshaft from an early F87 M2 (2016–2018) fit a later F87 M2 Competition (2018–2021)?
The F87 generation covers 2016 to 2021, with the Competition replacing the standard car from 2018 onwards. Both use the same basic rear-wheel-drive platform, but the Competition's S55 engine produces significantly more power than the N55 in the original M2, which can mean differences in drivetrain components including the propshaft. Name the generation boundary to your breaker and confirm the exact part against your registration before buying.
Does the M2 trim level or specification affect which propshaft I need?
Trim level and cosmetic specification do not affect propshaft fitment on the M2 – extras like colour, interior finish or optional packs make no difference. What does matter is the generation (F87 or G87) and the specific engine variant, so focus on those when sourcing from a breaker. A used propshaft from a well-matched generation and engine should be the right starting point.
Will a propshaft from an F87 M2 fit the newer G87 M2 (2023 onwards)?
The G87 is a completely new generation launched for the 2023 model year, built on a different platform from the F87, and the two are not interchangeable for major drivetrain components like the propshaft. Always tell the breaker which generation your car is – F87 or G87 – along with your registration so they can match the correct part. Do not assume F87 parts will cross over to the G87.
Does a manual or automatic gearbox M2 use the same propshaft?
The F87 M2 was offered with either a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch (DCT) gearbox, and the propshaft connection and dimensions can differ between the two. When contacting a breaker, confirm not just the generation and engine but also the gearbox type fitted to your car. Checking against your registration is the safest way to ensure the used propshaft matches your specific drivetrain layout.
What should I tell a breaker when asking for a used BMW M2 propshaft?
Give the breaker your full registration number as a first step, since this lets them identify the exact generation (F87 or G87), engine code (N55, S55, or S58), and gearbox type – all of which can affect propshaft specification. Mentioning whether your car is a standard M2 or a Competition or CS variant is also helpful. The more detail you provide upfront, the better your chances of getting the right used part first time.
