M DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE.
With its M specific character, the new BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé stands out more clearly than ever from the other variants in the series.
Advanced technology for outstanding performance.
Spontaneous response, continuous power delivery and outstanding revving power are the hallmarks of the most powerful version of the latest modular 4-cylinder petrol engine. M specific features include a particularly robust crankshaft drive, optimised oil supply to the cooling duct pistons and new main bearing shells and covers. The latest M TwinPower Turbo technology includes increased turbocharging and intercooling as well as dual fuel injection. The 2.0-litre unit develops its maximum power between 5,750 and 6,500 rpm. The maximum torque of 400 Nm is on stream between 2,000 and 4,500 rpm. The spirited power delivery is accompanied by the emotive sound of the M specific exhaust system.
Technical details.
The Adaptive M suspension features variable, mechanically controlled, frequency-selective shock absorbers that enhance both agility and long-distance comfort. It lowers the car by 5 millimetres and is combined with sport steering. In addition to speed-dependent Servotronic power steering, it also features a particularly direct rack-and-pinion transmission.
M TECHNOLOGY PACKAGE.
The optionally available M Technology Package for the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé brings additional bracing elements and lightweight construction measures, plus specific chassis components that give the range-topping model bespoke performance characteristics. Particularly strong piston rods for the front shock absorbers, weight-saving aluminium anti-roll bars with extra rigidity and additional underfloor bracing elements increase steering precision and give the car noticeably more engaging responses. There is also an application for the steering and control systems. The fitment of M Compound brakes and M forged light-alloy wheels helps to reduce weight. The 19-inch wheels are fitted with sport tyres, while track tyres can be ordered as an option.
The enhanced transverse dynamics brought about by the M Technology Package and the car’s improved deceleration capability enable significantly improved lap times on the track and also make their presence keenly felt in everyday driving. The M Technology Package for the BMW M235 xDrive Gran Coupé also includes M High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim with extended elements, plus M Sport seats with integral head restraints and an illuminated M logo in the upper section of the backrests.
