BMW plans to launch two lines and four lines of the news came to light soon, based on high-performance models M2 2 lines also have the latest news, and the news broke but also from BMW officials. Recently, the new director,Ford Turbocharger Dr. Friedrich Nitschke BMW M division in the media interview confirmed the M2 program, and declared M2 development plan has entered the initial stage.
BMW M2 will be used to determine based on the recently released next generation 1 Series F20 platform, its chassis code F22 (2 series coupe version), is expected to debut in 2014, when. Rear-drive models will continue to be used (FR) traditional layout. Audi uses the same family, different design ideas, BMW 2 Series models will differ from one department to create the look and feel, this model will become more personalized, will not bring the homogenization problem.
So the media M2 imaginary map drawn according to information provided by BMW insiders. From the image point of view, M2 really unlike any previous one BMW models, exaggerated front face is clearly borrowed ConnectedDrive concept car style; low body shape is more in line with the temperament of a sports car, but you can better aerodynamic design requirements, thus reducing drag, reducing fuel consumption to enhance dynamic performance.
In order to achieve weight loss purposes, BMW introduced a large number of M2 advanced carbon fiber reinforced plastic (advanced carbon fibre-reinforced plastics) hardness of this material is comparable to steel, Universal Turbocharger but the weight is very light, the key is it compared to traditional carbon fiber material is easier to repair, and lower cost. With the help of new materials, the BMW M2 body weight is expected to have reduced significantly, resulting in better handling and dynamic performance. BMW M2 There are two possible power configuration: First, the traditional 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, maximum power of 350 hp; the second is X3M debut in September this year to use three 3.2-liter turbocharged engine, maximum power up to 450 horsepower.
Three by two exhaust gas turbine engine turbine and a turbine constituting the electron, compared to the traditional twin-turbo engine has a better power output, and fuel economy can be further improved, and this design would be better to extend turbocharger life. If M2 is really choose this engine, its performance will be very tempting.
Had received the news from BMW terms, the future of all M models except the manual transmission will be fully upgraded to the new type of DCT dual-clutch gearbox, the gearbox can play better engine power and reduce fuel consumption. So M2 will be expected with this gearbox. On competitors, BMW M2 main goal opponent is locked Porsche Cayman.
