BMW has introduced the BMW M4 Competition Coupe 50 Jahre M Edition in India. The car has been made available in India for Rs 1.52 crore (ex-showroom) and in only limited numbers. The unrivalled 3.0-litre straight-six engine combines the hallmark high-revving character of BMW M GmbH engines with the latest version of M TwinPower Turbo technology. The petrol engine of the BMW M4 produces an output of 510 hp and a maximum torque of 650 Nm at 2,750-5,500 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds.
The eight speed M Steptronic transmission
enables extraordinary short shift times and fast, precise responses to every
nudge of the accelerator. The driver can access three clearly distinct setups
in both automatic and manual mode – comfort oriented, sports focused, or track
optimized. The Setup button on the centre console provides direct access to the
settings options for the engine, chassis, steering and braking system, plus
traction control. EFFICIENT, SPORT and SPORT PLUS settings can be engaged to
modify the engine’s characteristics, while selecting the COMFORT, SPORT or
SPORT PLUS chassis mode provides access to the three settings for the
electronically controlled dampers.
In terms of safety, the BMW M4 Competition
comes with head and side airbags for driver and front passenger as well as head
airbags for rear seats as standard. Additional standard equipment includes
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) including Anti-lock Braking System (ABS),
Automatic Stability Control (ASC), M Dynamic Mode (MDM), Cornering Brake
Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Dry Braking function and Active M
Differential. DSC with M xDrive further enhances the safety aspect.
Only 10 units of the BMW M4 Competition
Coupe 50 Jahre M Edition have been made available for the Indian market. They
will be brought it via the CBU route.
