BMW celebrating this year’s Goodwood FOS by unveiling the M Performance Parts
concept. Based on the M2, the concept is a track-focused model that features
optimized aerodynamics and a weight reduction of more than 60 kg.
The concept has been equipped
with an assortment of M Performance Parts including a carbon fiber grille, hood
and front fender vents. That’s just the tip of the iceberg as designers also
installed carbon fiber winglets up front and on the sides of the vehicle. Other
carbon fiber components include the roof, tailgate and rear diffuser.
The
concept rides on 19-inch M Performance wheels which feature a Frozen Gold
finish. The color is visible elsewhere
as designers added bright accents to the grille, sides and rear diffuser.
Moving into the cabin, the concept has M Performance
carbon fiber sport seats which have Alcantara upholstery as well as gold
contrast stitching. Drivers will also find a leather and Alcantara M
Performance steering wheel, a matching handbrake and a carbon fiber shifter.
To further reduce weight, BMW installed M
Performance lightweight rear seats which feature Alcantara upholstery and gold
M logos. Besides looking fantastic, they weigh 13 kg less than the
standard seats. Rounding out the interior highlights are alloy pedals, special door
sill plates and Alcantara / carbon fiber trim finishers. Drivers will also find
velour floor mats with gold edging.
BMW declined to mention performance specifications,
but the car has been equipped with an M Performance coilover suspension that
reduces the ride height by up to 20 mm. The suspension also
features independently adjustable dampers with 12 different compression stages
and 16 rebound settings.
