Following poor crash test results of the [[Brilliance BS6|BS6]] model and ensuing press comments, a Western launch was postponed at the last minute, and German sales were expected to start in the autumn of 2008, when the vehicle's structure was expected to have been modified in order to achieve improved [[EuroNCAP|European]] crash test ratings. After modification, it achieved 0 stars.<ref>{{cite web|title=No stars for Brilliance|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/AllCars/239095/|publisher=Autocar|accessdate=2009-03-27}}</ref>
 
The vehicle was developed in cooperation with [[Porsche]], and used borrowed technology from [[BMW]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Information about the M2|url=http://chinaautoweb.com/car-models/brilliance-m2/?nggpage=2|publisher=Chinaautoweb|accessdate=2015-11-20}}{{dead link|date=March 2024}}</ref> A station wagon, designed by [[Lowie Vermeersch]], was made available in 2008. Due to declining sales, the M2 and all versions was discontinued in all regions in 2014, with no current successor.

The M2 can seat a total of five people. The three back passenger seats has average mid-size car leg room.
Line 44 ⟶ 45:
 
==Engine==
Initially the car was offered with an old Mitsubishi designed 1.8&nbsp;L four cylinder engine claiming {{convertcvt|136|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}} of output. A turbocharged 1.8&nbsp;L unit developed by Brilliance themselves, with outputs of {{convertcvt|150|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}} or {{convertcvt|170|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}}, is already included on domestic market models. A diesel engine for installation in the European market version is still under development.

Line 53 ⟶ 54:
 
==Equipment==
The car has electronically adjustable leather seats, air conditioning and [[Parking sensors|electronic parking assistance]]. Interior plastic is "harsh and cheap" and leather quality "cheap". [[Electronic stability control|ESC]], which has become mainstream for European cars of this class, is not offered.<ref name=autoex>{{cite web|title=Brilliance BS4 Splendor|url=http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/carreviews/firstdrives/214569/brilliance_bs4_splendor.html|publisher=Auto Express|accessdate=2008-01-01|author=Mark Andrews}}</ref>
