Munich. At BMW the letter M signals the presence of high performance and a very special brand of sporting allure. And now Original BMW Accessories from the M Performance range can be specified for the new BMW 2 Series Convertible, stylistic and technical modifications combining to elevate the joy of sporty driving to even higher levels.
Extra dynamism for the exterior.
Side skirts and skirt decals with M Performance lettering lend
the BMW 2 Series Convertible extra sporting appeal, as does the rear
diffuser. They also match up nicely with the exclusive front grille
with black trim surround and the carbon exterior mirror caps. BMW M
Performance accent strips which run along the flanks of the car below
the crease line inject fresh visual momentum, while attractive BMW M
Performance 19-inch light-alloy wheels in 405 M and 624 M styling
advance the cause of exclusive sportiness. The 624 M can be ordered in
either a bi-colour (matt black / milled) or a polished variant. A
stainless steel silencer with chromed tailpipe embellishers and
inscribed M logo ensures the car signs off in dynamic fashion.
Customers can also specify the tailpipe embellishers in carbon.
High-quality carbon for a more sporting interior.
The BMW M Performance Accessories range offers a host of finely
matched products made from high-quality carbon (some combined with
Alcantara) for the interior of the BMW 2 Series Convertible. These
include the selector lever trim or – in manual cars – the gearshift
lever with Alcantara gaiter, as well as a handbrake grip likewise with
Alcantara gaiter. The centre console trim, centre armrest and interior
trim strips can also be retrofitted in carbon as accessories.
Alcantara steering wheels with carbon trim, which can be specified
with or without an integrated Race Display, are impressively grippy
and provide a sporty feel.
Like the easy-care BMW M Performance floor mats with eye-catching M Performance lettering, the attractive BMW M Performance pedal covers and footrest in stainless steel also emphasise the sporting character of the BMW 2 Series Convertible. Another highlight feature is the BMW M Performance key case, with its sophisticated Alcantara/carbon material combination and blue hex bolt. LED door sill plates in stainless steel with illuminated M Performance lettering even bring a sporty sense of occasion to climbing aboard.
Boosting performance with the BMW M Performance Power Kit.
The BMW M Performance Power Kit for the BMW 220d
Convertible (fuel consumption combined: 4.7–4.4 l/100 km; CO2
emissions combined: 124–116 g/km)* boosts engine output by 11 kW/14 hp
– from 140 kW/190 hp to 151 kW/204 hp – and cuts the car’s 0 – 100
km/h time by 0.3 seconds. To this end, the engine control unit
(including engine data update) and the other hardware components, such
as the larger-capacity intercooler, work together to maximum effect.
However, despite the higher engine output, there is no increase in
fuel consumption in the ECE test cycle. Another highlight for
connoisseurs of sporty driving is the BMW M Performance limited-slip
differential, which reduces slip through the driven wheels when one
loses grip. This allows it to optimise traction and thus give the
car’s on-limit handling even greater precision. The BMW M Performance
lightweight sports brake discs optimise deceleration (even in the wet)
thanks to their special perforation and grooving, and reduce unsprung
mass thanks to their lower weight. They also accentuate the car’s
sporting profile, especially if light-alloy wheels with an open design
are fitted.
Original BMW Accessories increase the value of the
car.
In contrast to many third-party products, Original
BMW Accessories – which include the range of BMW M Performance Parts –
are always matched perfectly to the model in question and are
permitted for use with that vehicle. The car’s warranty, moreover,
remains unaffected. All of which means the high-quality selection of
Original BMW Accessories enhances not only the car’s driving pleasure,
but its value as well.
