BMW bills the X2 as a fun and sporty urban crossover
and it appears the company is going to back up that claim with a new X2 M35i.
The
high-performance model has a familiar design as it apparently comes standard
with the M Sport pacakage which includes a sportier front fascia and additional
body-color trim. The crossover has also been equipped with the usual M styling
cues including larger alloy wheels and an upgraded braking system with blue
calipers. The spy photographer also noted the dual exhaust system features
larger tips than the standard model and had a more pronounced sound.
The interior should also receive some minor styling
tweaks as the front backrests were covered in a likely attempt to hide M35i
logos. Power is expected to be provided by a 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo
four-cylinder engine that produces approximately 300 hp.
This would make the model significantly more
powerful than the X2 xDrive28i which has 228 hp and 349 Nm of torque. As a result, the X2 M35i should easily outperform the X2 28i which
can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds before hitting a top speed of up to 230 km/h.
