Common Problems
BMW M2 Engine Problems - What It Costs to Fix & When Replacement Makes Sense
The F87 and G87 M2 are defined by their turbocharged straight-six engines - the N55, S55, and S58. While fundamentally robust, each has well-documented failure points that can lead to significant repair bills or full replacement. Below, we break down the most common BMW M2 engine problems by engine family, with real UK costs for dealer vs specialist...
BMW M2 S55 Crank Hub Failure - The Achilles' Heel of the Competition & CS
BMW M2 S55 Crank Hub Failure
Most affected vehicles
BMW M2 CompetitionM2 CS (F87
BMW M2 Competition, M2 CS (F87, 2018-2021, S55B30A & S55B30T0)
Failure mileage range
20,000 - 60,000 miles (can occur on stock or tuned engines)
Typical failure window
Root cause
The crank hub is attached to the crankshaft via friction alone, not a keyway. Sudden load changes - aggressive downshifts or high-rpm launches - can cause the hub to spin on the crank, jumping timing and allowing valves to contact pistons.
Repair options & estimated costs (UK ranges)
| Repair tier | Dealer price | Specialist price | What it involves | Longevity / suitability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor - Preventative Crank Hub Fix - Capture hub + bolt upgrade | £2,500 - £3,500 | £1,800 - £2,500 | Fit aftermarket pinned or captured hub design without removing engine | Permanent prevention if done proactively. Best for tuned or track-used cars |
| Intermediate - Timing Correction & Hub Replacement - Post-spin (no piston contact) | £5,000 - £7,000 | £3,500 - £5,000 | Remove oil pan, timing components, replace hub, re-time engine | Successful only if spin detected immediately and no valve contact occurred |
| Full Replacement - Rebuilt S55 Engine - With upgraded hub | £12,000 - £16,000 | £7,500 - £12,000 | Supply & fit fully rebuilt S55 with captured/pinned hub, bench tested, 12-month warranty | Permanent solution. Required if valves bent or cylinder damage present |
Our recommendation
If your M2 Competition or CS is still running fine, proactively fitting a crank hub capture kit is excellent value at around £2,000 from a specialist. If the hub has already spun, have a borescope inspection performed immediately. If valves hit pistons, skip the intermediate repair - a rebuilt engine with an upgraded hub is the only reliable long-term fix. On an M2 worth £25,000-£45,000, £7,500-£10,000 for a properly rebuilt S55 makes financial sense.

Every displacement fitted to the BMW M2 across all generations is listed below, with compatible engine codes, production years, power outputs and common failure notes.
The BMW M2 has always been powered exclusively by a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six petrol engine, spanning the N55, S55 and S58 families. The original F87-generation M2 (2016-2018) used the N55B30T0, while the M2 Competition (2018-2021) and M2 CS (2020-2021) received the high-output S55 derived from the M3/M4. The current G87-generation M2 (2023-present) is powered by the S58, which features a closed-deck block and resolves the crank hub vulnerability of its predecessor.
