ENGINE

The new BMW M Motorsport car is powered by an S55 inline six-cylinder engine with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology, which, with a capacity of 2,979 cc, reaches between 280 and 365 hp in the basic version, and 450 hp in the maximum configuration. As in the BMW M4 GT4, the engine is controlled using power sticks, which enable various performance levels to be programmed and called up, depending on the balance of performance specified. The maximum torque of 550 Nm is transferred by a 7-speed dual clutch transmission that was applied with specialised motorsport software.

AERODYNAMICS.

Optimum downforce comes from a front splitter that was derived from the special edition BMW M2 CS, and an adjustable rear wing, specific to motorsport.

Due to regular software updates, screen designs in the communication may differ from the actual screen design in your car.
Official data on power consumption and electric range were determined in accordance with the mandatory measurement procedure and comply with Regulation (EU) 715/2007 valid at the time of type approval. In case of a range, figures in the NEDC take into account differences in the selected wheel and tire size; figures in the WLTP take into account any optional equipment. WLTP values are used for assessing taxes and other vehicle-related charges that are (also) based on CO2 emissions, as well as for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies, if applicable. Where applicable, the NEDC values listed were calculated based on the new WLTP measurement procedure and then converted back to the NEDC measurement procedure for comparability reasons. For newly type-tested vehicles since 01.01.2021, the official data no longer exist according to NEDC, but only according to WLTP. For more information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures, see https://www.bmw.com/wltp.
For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the "handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars", which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
