BMW was always good at supporting customer -oriented racing efforts. Models such as the BMW M235i Racing, BMW M240i Racing and BMW M2 CS Racing made the perfect canvas for BMW enthusiasts who have to go quickly, and the successor is finally here. The latest M2 racing from BMW takes exactly where its predecessors have stopped, and improves an already powerful and quick chassis with a variety of race track improvements.
The new M2 racing debut
Although BMW was unveiled with a wild paintwork that BMW is called “inception”-and not at all on the street is not the M2 race not completely unlike the tram with which it shares its badge. A turbocharged engine still purrs under the bonnet, although this is a B48 four-cylinder four-cylinder with 313 hp and 420 Nm (309 pound foot torque). Submit your pitch girne: BMW’s running pipe from the GT4 exhaust system that is adapted to four cylinders to ensure that the soundtrack is still to the point. Of course, no manual gearbox, but an ZF automatic ZF-E-TRENCE is more than the challenge of supplying the rear wheels with electricity.
Further changes are a cooling system based on the S58 engine. Even if the car runs after a hot round after a hot round, the car remains cool and composed. BMW concluded the grilling and various inserts to reduce the likelihood of dirt or effects of damage. The race is not always the friendliest sport. While wheels, a KW Coilover suspension kit and brake pads are specific to the M2 races, the rotors are directly from the tram. Around the back, massive exhaustless show the GT4 exhaust together with racy additions such as a carbon fiber spoiler and an aggressive diffuser. The M2 race also offers an air lifting system for simple tire changes.
Interior of the M2 race
Inside, the M2 race is exactly what you would expect. A welded roller cage, carbon fiber -sampled -racing seats and fabric door immediately pull off the M2S, which you will see on your morning commuting. However, there are some oversholds from the regular car, especially from the IDRIVE screen, the steering wheel and the center console. The M2 racing is optionally available with a special datalogging software for customers who want to monitor the performance of your car even more precisely.
Pricing? If you have to ask … No, it’s not so outrageous. After all, the M2 race is a full racing car. BMW aimed at a price of “less than € 100,000” and arrived there: The M2 race can be yours for € 98,000. Of course, import taxes can drive up a little further, especially if you are in the USA. BMW also says that the running costs should be much lower than other racing cars due to the widespread parts and the decision to use the inline four. Orders rose in June and deliveries begin at the end of this year.
