BMW M2 Performance

For the second generation BMW M2, the M department has prepared a wide range of M Performance parts that will make the Coupe stand out from the standard versions.

The M Performance package of carbon-fiber parts on the sleek two-door body includes a front grille, air deflectors, a trunk lid spoiler, a front spoiler and M3-like mirror cups. There are air intakes on the sides of the bumpers for better cooling.

As additional options, you can add stickers on the hips and bonnet, red brake calipers, three models of aluminum rims and M Performance lights for a better night effect. There is a projector on the door which, when the door is opened, projects a hologram with the M Performance logo.

The interior of the new M2 Coupe is equipped with a lot of carbon fiber accessories. The seats, made of carbon fiber, are upholstered in leather and fabric, with blue stitches. On the dashboard there is a 12.3 “Digital Instrument Cluster and a 10.25” Central Information Display.

It will be offered in two versions. The M 230i will be powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 255 hp. The more powerful version, the BMW M 240i is powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with 382 hp that produces enough juice to reach 62 mph in 4.1 seconds. With all-wheel drive, the car has 18-inch wheels with 225/45 R tires.

If this is not enough for you, be patient until the end of 2022, when the new BMW M2 should arrive on the market.

The future of electric vehicle production

As a long-time leader in electric vehicles, BMW intends to expand its fleet of EVs with four new models in the coming years. At BMW, they emphasized their full commitment to the production of EV.

“We are fully committed to electric cars wherever the use of battery-electric drive trains makes sense, and it is possible because the conditions are right. By 2023 we will offer our customers at least one BEV option in nearly all our vehicle segments and over the next 10 years we aim to release a total of about 10 million fully electric vehicles onto the market, ”said BMW CEO Oliver Zipse.

The first vehicles to be unveiled are the X1 and Series 7, coming in 2022. So far, there is not enough information about the specifications for these models, only it is known where they will be produced (Regensburg and Dingolfing, Germany).

The Electric Series 5 and Mini Countryman are coming in 2023. The Series 5 will be produced in Dingolfing, while the plant in Leipzig is in charge of the Mini Countryman.

By the end of 2025, BMW hopes that EV will account for 25 percent of total sales. Therefore, for 2025, BMW has prepared a Neue Klasse platform that will be used only for EV, although the platform also supports other powertrains.
