Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2017 BMW M2 exhibits a notable anomaly within its generation: it recorded 17 complaints—more than three times the volume of 2016 (5) and dwarfing the subsequent years (2018: 3, 2019: 0). This spike coincides with the highest TSB count in the dataset (135), though notably there were zero recalls in 2017, whereas 2018 and 2019 each had one. The complaint profile is heavily concentrated in Exterior Lighting (14 of 17 total complaints), with no crash or fire complaints filed. The trend suggests early production issues or teething problems that largely resolved by 2018, as complaints dropped sharply thereafter. Given the high complaint volume concentrated in a non-critical category, no safety-related recalls, and the absence of crash/fire incidents, the 2017 model represents the peak of reported issues within this generation but not necessarily a deal-breaker—if thoroughly inspected for lighting system functionality.
