Munich/Essen. Traditionally, the Essen Motor Show
concludes the year of European motor shows. This year again, the
organisers of Europe’s largest and most significant performance show
for tuning, motorsport and race-suited production cars (26 November to
4 December 2016) are expecting more than 300,000 visitors to the
exhibition halls at Essen’s Grugapark. Not only will the new BMW M240i
Convertible celebrate its motor show debut at the generously sized BMW
booth inside hall 3, but the interested general public will also gain
an insight into the extensive product portfolio offered by
BMW M Performance Parts. A total of eight exhibition vehicles can be
seen at the booth, including the BMW M2 Safety Car. Those who wish can
demonstrate their racing talent at the “DTM M4 Driving Simulator” by
following in the tracks of Marco Wittmann, the newly crowned DTM champion.
With an accessory range of around 1,300 items, ranging from classy
carbon exterior mirror caps to carbon-ceramic brakes, BMW sales
figures in Germany are the second highest worldwide – and continue on
an upward trend. In 2015, demand in Germany therefore increased by
around 15 percent over the previous year.
Attractive leasing offer for the most popular BMW M
Performance Parts.
A new leasing offer
from BMW Financial Services also contributes towards the growing
popularity of BMW M Performance Parts. It offers the possibility of
including the most popular BMW M Performance Parts in the residual
value leasing contract for the overall vehicle. The offer comprises,
inter alia, BMW M Performance light alloy wheels, all exhaust systems
and BMW M Performance Power Sound Kits, a front grille in black
or side sill foiling.
Carbon rear wing and new coilover suspension for the BMW M3
and BMW M4.
From the summer of next year, the aerodynamics of
the BMW M3 and the BMW M4 are expected to be further optimised for use
in motorsports by means of the BMW M Performance rear wing. This
component is made entirely of carbon (wing, side parts and feet), with
the feet sporting the characteristic BMW M motorsport stripes in blue,
red and violet.
With immediate effect, an adjustable BMW M Performance sports
suspension is available to further enhance the handling dynamics of
the BMW M3 and BMW M4. The driver is able to infinitely adjust the
vehicle by between five and 20 millimetres via the spring plate on the
front and rear spring struts, in order to obtain the ideal setting for
different road and racetrack conditions. Red coil springs render the
BMW M Performance sports suspension recognisable from the outside.
Attractive details complete the range of BMW M Performance
Accessories.
Thanks to the extensive BMW
M Performance accessory range comprising equipment features inspired
and derived from motor racing, there are virtually no limits to the
possibilities for individualising your car. This also applies to the
new BMW M240i Convertible being exhibited at the BMW booth and
boasting a newly developed 250 kW/340 hp straight six-cylinder power
unit with BMW M Performance TwinPower Turbo technology (combined fuel
consumption: 8.3–7.4 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 189–169 g/km)*.
It has been upgraded with numerous options from the BMW M Performance
accessory range. These include the Alcantara steering wheel with
carbon trim and race display, a gear selector lever and a carbon
handbrake grip with Alcantara bellows, as well as matching interior
trim strips. The BMW M240i Convertible’s further enhanced dynamic
appearance is accentuated, inter alia, by BMW M Performance 19-inch,
double-spoke 405 M Bicolour light alloy wheels as well as a black matt
rear diffuser with the newly developed exhaust system, including
carbon tailpipe trims.
All BMW M Performance Accessories are the result of many years of
experience and the BMW M GmbH’s numerous motor sport successes. They
are developed with meticulous attention to detail. A good example of
this is the BMW M Performance carbon engine cover for the BMW M3 and
the BMW M4. This component, which is elaborately hand-crafted from
high-quality carbon fibre reinforced plastic, ensures that fascinating
motor racing look when the bonnet is open.
