BMW M2 Coupe M Performance Parts
With the M2 Coupe still in the waiting
room for the official launch, BMW has dropped an extensive range of bespoke M
Performance parts for its hot baby.
The range includes aerodynamic
components made out of carbon-reinforced plastic, even sportier exhaust
solutions, options for the suspension and the brakes as well as new parts for
the cabin.
Starting with the aero bits, these
include front and side attachments, a rear diffuser and mirror caps made out of
lightweight CRFP. Each one is designed to offer better aerodynamic performance
and further emphasize the aggressive nature of the compact coupe. All of them
combined together optimize the airflow around the M2 coupe.
M Performance offers a flap silencer system
which offers a more intense aural experience from the turbocharged engine. Two
operating modes are available via Bluetooth remote control, Sport and Track.
Sport mode is intended for road use while Track raises the volume and character
of the exhaust sound. Customers can choose between two different exhaust pipes
too; the first one measures 80 mm in diameter and features a perforated inner
pipe. The second has carbon fiber trim and a diameter of 93 mm.
As for those who need some extra
road-holding, M Performance’s coil-spring suspension promises to do the trick.
This drops the ride height by at least 5mm when compared to the standard
suspension with owners able to further lower the car by an additional 20 mm. The
adjustable shocks offer 16 levels in the rebound stage and 12 in the
compression stage, allowing the driver to tailor the setup to personal
preference.
Track-day lovers can opt for the sports
brake pads from the range, which offer higher resistance to thermal stress,
meaning minimal to no fade even under extreme use.
M Performance’s treatment for the cabin
includes LED door sills and floor mats but the main offering is the two
different steering wheels: the M Performance which has a race display and
carbon fibre trim and the M Performance Pro which features Alcantara on the
rim, a harder foam body for better grip, a light blue central marking at the 12
o’ clock position and an optional open-pore carbon fiber trim element.
Finally the Interior Kit Carbon includes
trim elements for the twin-clutch transmission gear selector level, center
console and handbrake handle and the M Performance interior trim finishers
which blend Alcantara and of course carbon fiber.
