The original M machine comes to Malaysia
BMW is calling this the ultimate M machine since the E30 M5 and the predecessor of the BMW 2002 Turbo, and why not, the new M2 Coupe is set up to present to drivers with the marque’s outstanding dynamics, exceptional agility and optimum car control.Created from BMW M GmbH, the M2 Coupe is easily recognised to be part of the M family. Not because of the numerous M badging around the car but because of the M-Specific exterior features. With its wide-stance and low-slung front apron with large air inlets, trapezoidal blades and Air Curtains to deliver optimised aerodynamics matches up with the stylish M design black-painted double bars on the signature kidney grille.
Along with the signature M kidney grilles, you also get the characteristic M gills on the M2’s muscular flanks along with other M design elements all the way down to the 19-inch aluminium wheels with M double-spoke design.

Drivers will get an output of 370bhp and 465Nm of torque, 500Nm is available with the short-term maximum overboost function.
Pair the M TwinPower Turbo engine with a seven-speed M double-clutch transmission with Drivelogic complete with Launch Control function, be ready to do the century sprint in just 4.3-seconds. Don’t worry, the M2 is still rather fuel efficient considering the power the car produces with a reading of 7.9-l/100km and CO2 emissions of 185g/km.

BMW has also done quite a lot of weight-reducing replacements for the M2 Coupe like using a lightweight aluminium design for the front and rear axles. Those stylish wheels are also made of forged aluminium with mixed-size tyres as well as M Servotronic steering and M compound brakes.
