Munich. Thanks to its combination of expressive design and outstanding brand-typical driving dynamics, the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (fuel consumption combined: 7.1 – 4.2 l/100 km, CO2 emissions combined: 162-110 g/km*) has everything it takes to continue the seven-year success story of the BMW Gran Coupe in the compact segment too. In order to accentuate its athletic character even more and tailor the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to the needs and requirements of motorsport-enthusiastic customers, BMW also offers a wide range of M Performance Parts from the date of launch in November 2019.
Developed by BMW M Gmbh experts with their many years of motorsport
expertise and countless victories on the world’s race tracks, these
components meet the highest requirements with regard to performance,
production quality and design. The M Performance Parts are not only
visually attractive, but also integral elements of the light-weight
construction concept. All components are perfectly matched to the
specific character to the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.
Attractive and functional details for more distinctive visual appeal.
A number of individual options enable the customer to enhance
the exterior of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to give it even more
dynamic looks. The M rear spoiler in high-gloss black not only adds an
attractive touch of visual flair, but also optimises the air stream
around the car and positively affects driving behaviour thanks to
reducing lift. The high-gloss black model inscriptions as well as the
round M Performance stainless steel tail pipe finishers with titanium
outer pipe and carbon fibre casing enhance the rear view of the car
greatly. The high-gloss black mesh-style M front ornamental grille
gives the front a highly dynamic look. The Carbon M Performance
exterior mirror caps add both discreet yet distinctive details to the
side view of the car. Like all carbon fibre components they are
hand-crafted, sealed with a clear finish and given a high-gloss polish
for an impressive depth effect. The structure, which is so
characteristic for this material, makes these carbon-fibre reinforced
plastic components very impressive to look at.
Luxurious as well as racing-style interior flair.
The interior of the new BMW 2 Sereis Gran Coupe can also be
upgraded with various M Performance Parts. The most distinctive visual
detail is the M Performance steering wheel. Its extremely high-grip
alcantara handling area features large thumbrests and special
underlining. The steering wheel gives the driver the feeling of
becoming one with the car, which is essential for dynamic and safe
driving. The red centre marking further supports this. Another visual
highlight is the silver-grey, hand-sewn cross-stitch on the steering
wheel rim. The carbon fibre/alcantara steering wheel trim rounds off
the impressive look perfectly. The shift paddles of the M Performance
steering wheel can also be ordered in an M Performance version with
carbon fibre fabric instead of the standard chrome surface for
versions of the BMW 2 Sereis Gran Coupe with 7-speed double-clutch,
8-speed Steptronic or 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. The
sporty-luxurious ambience is rounded off by the M Performance floor
mats with M Performance inscription, a pennant in the hallmark M
colours and a surround in leather look including decorative seam in
contrasting colours.
Top-level dynamic performance thanks to sports brake system.
Not only insiders know that it isn’t engine power alone that
leads to success, but above all braking performance. And since this
insight from motor racing can also be applied to road use, the BMW 2
Series Gran Coupe may also be equipped with an M Performance brake
system featuring highly distinctive red brake saddles. Its larger,
inner-vented and perforated lightweight construction brake discs offer
further improved braking response, optimised deceleration even under
extreme conditions as well as maximum resilience.
18 and 19 inch complete wheel sets add athletic character.
The 18 inch M Performance Y-Spoke Styling 554 M forged wheels
and the 19 inch M Performance Double Spoke Styling 555 M complete
wheel sets emphasise the sporty character of the BMW 2 Series Grand
Coupe. In Jet Black matt they add yet another athletic touch to the
car’s sporty visual appeal. An especially charismatic highlight is
added in the case of the 19 inch wheel thanks to the burnished finish
with matt clear lacquer giving the car a eye-catching bicolour look.
The 18 inch M Performance Y-Spoke Styling 554 M forged wheel is also
available as a complete winter wheel set. Whoever prefers a bicolour
wheel in the cold time of the year too, there is the 18 inch M
Performance Double-Spoke 556 M Bicolour light alloy wheel (Cerium
Grey, burnished).
Experience the M Performance spirit even when the car is
stationary.
The thrilling motorsport atmosphere generated by the
M Performance Parts is not only limited to when you are driving the
BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe but also when you get in and out. For example
the M Performance slide set for the LED door projectors is a very
eye-catching option, allowing you to project your clear commitment to
sporty driving onto the asphalt. The M Performance key holder made of
high-quality alcantara with carbon fibre insert builds anticipation
for the driving experience to come and makes the look and feel of pure
driving pleasure come alive. Thanks to the internal hex screw in M
Light Blue, the car key is firmly connected to the holder and
therefore effectively protected from being scratched or damaged. The M
Performance tyre bags made of high-quality and resilient plastic
material not only make storing and transporting the wheels a clean and
safe affair, but also bring a racing feel to your garage thanks to
their distinctive M Performance design. And each bag is clearly marked
so allocating tyres is easy.
