General info
Survivability and armour
The vehicle's playstyle is relatively similar to the BMP-2's. The fast turret traverse speed, wide field of view and thermal for the optics combined with a fast firing 2A42 Autocannons and four 9M133 ATGMs makes it an excellent close range combat IFV and good frontline scout at open fields. Armor on this vehicles can only protect the crew from 7.62mm at all angle and sometimes 12.7mm or even 20mm when being shot from the front. The BMP-2M is prone to hull break, but sometimes AP rounds such as APFSDS can penetrate the vehicle without significant damage due to its large empty space inside.
Mobility
With 60 extra horsepower, the BMP-2M has excellent mobility compared to the BMP-2. The acceleration of the BMP-2M in off roads are great, able to keep up with top tier MBTs like the T-80U, M1A2 and Leopard 2A5. The reverse speed however is still 10 kilometers per hour and it still has no neutral steering. Its amphibious capabilities can be useful to cross deep water sections to reach places normally unreachable for other vehicles.

Armaments
Main armament
Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibility of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- 2A42 Autocannon can punch through any vehicle at its battle rating from the back, side and sometimes front.
- Fast turret traverse speed, 35, 42, and 60 degrees per second at stock and full modifications respectively.
- High resolution thermal optics, wide field of view and 2.5 to 12 times zoom for gun sight. Suitable for combat at any range.
- 1200mm penetration power for the standard 9M133 missile, highest in the game. Can fire and guide all 4 missiles simultaneously and on the move.
- Can equip 9M133FM-3 HE missile with proximity fuses, useful for anti-air usages.
- Amphibious ability can be useful for crossing water to areas hard to reach for other vehicles
- Very cheap repair cost means easy silverlions profit from combat.
- Roof mounted grenade launcher can clear obstacles that machineguns can not.
Cons:
- Missiles mounted on the turret has a chance to explode from shrapnel if too close to any form of explosion.
- Chassis can only protect crew from 7.62 and with limited 12.7 or bigger caliber ammunition protection from the front.
- No neutral steering. Slow reverse speed at 10 kilometers per hour.
- While driving, thermal optics vision to the left of the chassis at 30 to 50 degrees are obscured from the engine exhaust gas.
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
