BMW is set to enter its anniversary year of 2016 on a powerful note. With the centenary of its founding just around the corner, the company is using the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), taking place in Detroit from 11 – 24 January, to host the world premieres of the new BMW M2 and BMW X4 M40i performance models. Joining the two new cars at the stand will be the trailblazing BMW i models and innovative services covering every aspect of electric mobility. BMW ConnectedDrive, meanwhile, is showcasing its latest range of applications and systems, such as Remote Control Parking.
Performance and Specifications
The BMW M2 Coupe features a three-liter six-cylinder engine that has 370 horsepower and an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. It boasts a 0 to 62 miles per hour time of just 4.3 seconds, making it a formidable contender in the sports coupe segment. The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission as standard, but an optional seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission is also available for those who prefer a more seamless driving experience.
The M2’s engine is equipped with BMW’s TwinPower Turbo technology, which includes a twin-scroll turbocharger, high-precision direct injection, and variable valve timing. This combination ensures that the engine delivers both high performance and efficiency. The car also features an Active M Differential, which optimizes traction and stability, especially when cornering at high speeds.
Design and Features
The BMW M2 Coupe is not just about performance; it also boasts an aggressive and sporty design that sets it apart from other models. The exterior features large air intakes, flared wheel arches, and a muscular stance that gives it a commanding presence on the road. The car sits on 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, which are both lightweight and strong, contributing to its agile handling.
Inside, the M2 Coupe offers a driver-focused cockpit with high-quality materials and advanced technology. The seats are upholstered in Dakota leather with blue contrast stitching, and the M-specific instrument cluster provides all the essential information at a glance. The car also comes with a range of standard features, including a Harman Kardon sound system, dual-zone automatic climate control, and BMW’s iDrive infotainment system with a high-resolution display.
Safety is also a priority for BMW, and the M2 Coupe is equipped with a range of advanced safety features. These include adaptive headlights, a rearview camera, and a suite of driver assistance systems such as lane departure warning, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
Innovative Technologies
In addition to its impressive performance and design, the BMW M2 Coupe also incorporates a range of innovative technologies. BMW ConnectedDrive offers a suite of services and apps that enhance the driving experience. One of the standout features is Remote Control Parking, which allows the driver to park the car remotely using the BMW Display Key. This is particularly useful for tight parking spaces where it might be difficult to open the doors.
The car also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing seamless integration with smartphones. This means drivers can access their favorite apps, make calls, send messages, and listen to music without taking their hands off the wheel.
The BMW M2 Coupe is a testament to BMW’s commitment to innovation, performance, and design. With its powerful engine, advanced technology, and striking looks, it is set to make a significant impact at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
