BMW 3 Series - 40 Years history of a classicRushLane
The BMW 3 Series can look back over an extraordinary career path. Among the key milestones along the way have been its success in pioneering a new category of vehicle, establishing itself as the embodiment of driving pleasure in its segment and becoming the world’s top-selling premium car. The model range was launched 40 years ago to replace the already legendary BMW 02, and is now set to enter its sixth generation. Today, as in 1975, purchasing a BMW 3 Series represents an expression of joy in sporty, agile handling, enthusiasm for innovative technology and appreciation of premium quality.
This BMW M5 is a high performance version of the BMW 5-Series executive car built by the Motorsport division of BMW. Beginning production in 1985, the first incarnation of the M5 was hand-built utilizing the 535i chassis and a modified BMW M1 engine, being the fastest production sedan in the world at the time of its introduction. Subsequent iterations of the M5 have been built from each generation of the 5-Series platform, including the E34, E39, E60/E61, and most recently, F10, with the first orders delivered in late 2011.

BMW officially reveals 7 Series technology advancementsRushLane
BMW is using a technology and innovation workshop to present an initial selection of development highlights which the next generation of the BMW 7 Series model range will use to set new benchmarks in lightweight design, driving dynamics, comfort, intelligent connectivity and operation. The extensive use of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) in the structure of the passenger cell, the rigorous and detailed application of lightweight design and a new generation of engines combine to reduce the weight of the luxury sedan along with its fuel consumption and emissions figures.
A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone, a hand phone, or even simply a phone) is a phone that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area. It does so by connecting to a cellular network provided by a mobile phone operator, allowing access to the public telephone network. By contrast, a cordless telephone is used only within the short range of a single, private base station.
In addition to telephony, modern mobile phones also support a wide variety of other services such as text messaging, MMS, email, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming, and photography. Mobile phones that offer these and more general computing capabilities are referred to as smartphones.
The first hand-held cell phone was demonstrated by John F. Mitchell[1][2] and Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973, using a handset weighing around 4.4 pounds (2 kg).[3] In 1983, the DynaTAC 8000x was the first to be commercially available. From 1990 to 2011, worldwide mobile phone subscriptions grew from 12.4 million to over 6 billion, penetrating about 87% of the global population and reaching tA hand-held mobile radiotelephone is an old dream of radio engineering. A particularly vivid and in many ways accurate prediction was presented by Arthur C. Clarke in a 1959 essay, where he envisioned a "personal transceiver, so small and compact that every man carries one." He wrote: "the time will come when we will be able to call a person anywhere on Earth merely by dialing a number." Such a device would also, in Clarke's vision, include means for global positioning so that "no one need ever again be lost." Later, in Profiles of the Future, he predicted the advent of such a device taking place in the mid-1980s.[8]
Early predecessors of cellular phones included analog radio communications from ships and trains. The race to create truly portable telephone devices began after World War II, with developments taking place in many countries. The advances in mobile telephony have been traced in successive generations from the early "0G" (zeroth generation) services like the Bell System's Mobile Telephone Service and its successor, Improved Mobile Telephone Service. These "0G" systems were not cellular, supported few simultaneous calls, and were very expensive.
Affalterbach. Pure fascination and breathtaking dynamics – the new Mercedes-AMG C 63 sets benchmarks. The high-tech drive, the signature AMG handling and the high level of individuality in equipment choices guarantee an utterly unique driving experience. The top model in the C-Class line-up is driven by a 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine closely related to the power unit that provides breathtaking propulsion in the Mercedes-AMG GT. The power spectrum ranges from 350 kW (476 hp) in the C 63 to 375 kW (510 hp) in the C 63 S. With an unrivalled fuel consumption figure of just 8.2 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined), the C 63 is the most fuel-efficient eight-cylinder car in the high-performance segment. The extensive range of standard equipment includes the AMG RIDE CONTROL sports suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers, the mechanical rear locking differential and the AMG DYNAMIC SELECT drive programmes. The highly exclusive “Edition 1” is available from market launch.
New BMW X1 SUV facelift officially revealedRushLane
The new BMW X1 – the successor to the model that blazed the trail for this class of car – treats the premium compact segment to an even more potent shot of Sports Activity Vehicle DNA. The second generation of this successful model, more than 730,000 units of which have now been sold, takes to the stage with a body design straight out of the BMW X model mould. The interior of the new BMW X1, meanwhile, offers significantly more space for passengers and luggage, a cutting-edge premium ambience and functionality grounded in solid engineering. Four-cylinder engines from the BMW Group’s latest generation of power units, an efficiency-optimised version of the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system and newly developed chassis technology all help to palpably enhance sporting ability and ride comfort compared to the outgoing model – with fuel consumption and emissions reduced by up to 17 per cent, model-on-model.

A compact high-performance BMW sports car was already causing heads to
turn and hearts to flutter over 40 years ago. Indeed, the BMW 2002 turbo
perfectly encapsulated BMW’s resolution to deliver outstanding dynamics,
exceptional agility and optimum car control. As if to demonstrate in similarly
resounding style that this commitment is alive and well, BMW M GmbH can
now unveil the new BMW M2. With its high-performance six-cylinder in-line
engine, rear-wheel-drive agility, lightweight aluminium M Sport suspension
and extrovert styling, the new BMW M2 Coupe has all the ingredients to
deliver the last word in driving pleasure.
Characteristic M design.
A single glance is all it takes to pick the new BMW M2 Coupe out as a
member of the BMW M family, with its styling also keen to advertise its
dynamic attributes. Inspired by models from the history of BMW in motor
racing, the new M2 Coupe makes no secret of its extraordinary performance
potential. The low front apron with large air intakes, muscular flanks with
characteristic M gills, 19-inch aluminium wheels in familiar M double-spoke
design and low, wide rear with M-specific twin-tailpipe exhaust system all play
impressive roles here. The time-honoured character of BMW M cars is also
present and correct in the design of the interior. The Alcantara of the door
cards and centre console together with porous carbon fibre creates an
ambience of rare quality and heady sporting ambition further underlined by
blue contrast stitching and M embossing on selected details. Sports seats, an
M sports steering wheel and an M gearshift lever ensure BMW M2 drivers are
in perfect command of their car it at all times.
Explosive performance.
The newly developed, three-litre six-cylinder in-line engine in the new
BMW M2 deploys cutting-edge M TwinPower Turbo technology to develop
272 kW/370 hp at 6,500 rpm (fuel consumption combined: 8.5 l/100 km
[33.2 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 199 g/km)* and, in so doing, lays
down a marker in the high-performance compact sports car segment. The
same applies to power delivery. Peak torque of 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) can be
increased to as much as 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) in short bursts under overboost.
All of which enables the new BMW M2 Coupe with optional seven-speed
M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) and Launch Control to accelerate
from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. Top speed is electronically

limited to 250 km/h (155 mph). Yet, with its M DCT transmission, fuel
consumption of just 7.9 litres* per 100 km (35.8 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions
of just 185 g/km*, the car is also keen to emphasise its outstanding efficiency.
Motor sport expertise.
With the lightweight aluminium front and rear axles from the BMW M3/M4
models, forged 19-inch aluminium wheels with mixed-size tyres,
M Servotronic steering with two settings and suitably effective M compound
brakes, the new BMW M2 Coupe has raised the bar once again in the
compact high-performance sports car segment when it comes to driving
dynamics. The electronically controlled Active M Differential, which optimises
traction and directional stability, also plays a significant role here. And even
greater driving pleasure is on the cards when the Dynamic Stability Control
system’s M Dynamic Mode (MDM) is activated. MDM allows wheel slip and
therefore moderate, controlled drifts on the track.
Intelligent connectivity when you want it.
The new BMW M2 Coupe comes with an extensive list of standard
equipment in keeping with its performance-focused set-up. The seven-speed
M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) with Drivelogic, available as an
option, changes gears with extraordinary speed but no interruption in the flow
of power. A wide selection of driver assistance systems and mobility services
from BMW ConnectedDrive is also available. The ConnectedDrive Services
provide the basis for extensive vehicle connectivity, and this option also
enables the use of innovative apps, which are integrated seamlessly into the
car using BMW ConnectedDrive technology. For example, the GoPro app
allows the driver to record fast laps of the track with a dashboard-mounted
action camera, using the iDrive Controller and Control Display. Meanwhile, the
driver’s individual style at the wheel can be analysed as desired with the
M Laptimer app. Information on speeds and braking points can be shared
easily via e-mail or Facebook.
From powerful stock.
The new BMW M2 Coupe is not only the direct heir to the successful
BMW 1 Series M Coupe, but also – in its underlying philosophy – a
descendant of the original E30 BMW M3 and the BMW 2002 turbo. The latter
caused a sensation over 40 years ago, embodying the commitment of what is
now BMW M GmbH to outstanding dynamics, unbeatable agility and optimal
car control.

cars is included in the following guideline: “Leitfaden über Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer
Personenkraftwagen” (Guideline for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and electric power consumption of new passenger cars), which can be

The six-cylinder engine under the bonnet of the new compact BMW M2 is in
keeping with the finest BMW M tradition, ensuring unbeatable driving fun on
the race track yet at the same time doing everything you need it to in everyday
use. It promises an insatiable appetite for revs for a turbocharged engine,
offers exceptionally linear power delivery across a broad rev range and raises
pulses with its distinctive engine sound. Add to the mix outstanding torque,
available across a wide rev band, and – thanks to innovative M TwinPower
Turbo technology – rapid responses and excellent efficiency.
High revs and turbo power.
With an output of 272 kW/370 hp at 6,500 rpm and maximum revs of
7,000 rpm, the three-litre straight-six engine in the new BMW M2 sends out a
clear message in the high-performance compact sports car segment. (Fuel
consumption combined, with six-speed manual gearbox: 8.5 l/100 km
[33.2 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 199 g/km; with optional M Double
Clutch transmission [M DCT]: 7.9 l/100 km [35.8 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions
combined: 185 g/km)*. The engine’s peak torque also leads the way in this
segment; a full 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) is on tap between 1,400 and 5,560 rpm,
with the overboost function raising this figure by 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) to 500 Nm
(369 lb-ft) between 1,450 and 4,750 rpm.
With the optional M Double Clutch Transmission (M DCT) in place and
Launch Control activated, the new BMW M2 Coupe completes the sprint
from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.3 seconds (4.5 s with the six-speed
manual gearbox). The top speed of the new BMW M2 is electronically limited
to 250 km/h (155 mph). If the M Driver’s Package – which includes a
BMW Driving Experience voucher for a track training course – is specified, this
cut-off point doesn’t arrive until 270 km/h (168 mph). The excellent efficiency
of the M TwinPower Turbo engine which, needless to say, meets the EU6
exhaust standard, is backed up by fuel consumption figures of just 7.9 l/100
km [35.8 mpg imp]* with M DCT and CO2 emissions of just 185 g/km*.
Lightweight construction and rigidity.
The new BMW M2’s newly developed, three-litre six-cylinder engine
represents a symbiosis of exceptional output and outstanding economy. The
lightweight, thermodynamically optimised, all-aluminium unit is very rigid due
to its closed-deck design – which means that the cylinder water jacket is

closed at the top. This enables higher cylinder pressures for improved power
output. The cylinder liners further decrease the weight of the six-cylinder
engine and reduce internal friction.
State-of-the-art M TwinPower Turbo technology.
The engine in the new BMW M2 comes with the latest generation of the
trailblazing M TwinPower Turbo technology. In the new six-cylinder in-line
petrol engine, this comprises a TwinScroll turbocharger, High Precision
Injection, variable camshaft timing (Double-VANOS) and VALVETRONIC
variable valve control. The valve and camshaft timing work in tandem to
seamlessly control intake valve lift. Razor-sharp responses, optimal power
delivery, and therefore reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, are the
result.
The integration of the turbocharger into the exhaust manifold plays a major
role in the ability of the new three-litre six-cylinder engine in the new
BMW M2 to optimise its performance efficiently. The warm-up phase after a
cold start is noticeably shorter, which helps to cut internal friction more quickly
and significantly reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The electrically
operated boost pressure control valve and close-coupled arrangement of the
catalytic converter further improve the engine’s emissions rating.
The standard-fitted Auto Start Stop function and Brake Energy Regeneration
provide additional potential for fuel savings in the new BMW M2, while the
intelligent energy management of ancillary components enables a further
reduction in fuel consumption. For example, the coolant pump operates only
as required and the oil pump is map-controlled. The air conditioning
compressor, which is disconnected whenever it is not being used, and the
Electric Power Steering, which requires no electric energy when driving
straight ahead, make a considerable contribution to the laudable fuel
consumption and emissions figures of the new BMW M2.
Optimised to meet the highest standards.
In order to satisfy the high expectations of sporty drivers who like to push the
limits on the track, the BMW M GmbH development engineers have
introduced further upgrades to the engine powering the new BMW M2. To
this end, it has gained selected components from the high-performance unit
used in the BMW M3 and BMW M4 presented in 2014. Components
including the pistons, with their top ring optimised for the use of grey-cast iron
liners, are sourced from the BMW M3/M4 engine, as are the crankshaft main
bearing shells. The new engine in the BMW M2 also gets the requisite high-
performance spark plugs with an elevated heat rating.

Secure oil supply, even during a race.
The many years of motor racing experience built up by the BMW M engineers
are also reflected in the oil supply for the new BMW M2 engine. In order to
ensure oil reaches all engine components at all times under the kind of heavy
lateral acceleration, limit-pushing acceleration and extreme braking
manoeuvres the car has to withstand on the race track, the six-cylinder in-line
engine benefits from a modified oil sump.
For example, an additional oil sump cover helps to limit the movement of oil
under powerful acceleration. At the same time, an extra oil suction pump
sends the oil back to the rear part of the oil sump when the driver brakes
heavily. A special suction system, furthermore, is employed for the oil supply
to the turbocharger under higher vehicle acceleration. This measure ensures
that the oil supply to the engine remains secure at all times, both in normal
everyday driving and when lateral dynamics reach the upper end of the scale.
The same also applies to the heat balance of all engine components. In order
to deal with extreme cooling requirements under hard driving, the BMW M2
engine benefits from an additional oil cooler for the transmission oil (only
applies to cars fitted with M DCT) and a further water cooler for the engine.
Perfectly composed M soundtrack.
One of the main contributors to the extraordinary dynamic experience on
board the new BMW M2 is the optimised exhaust with special flap system.
With its four tailpipes, the exhaust system immediately marks the BMW M2
out as a BMW M model and its minimal exhaust back-pressure ensures
perfect engine cycles. Added to which, the electrically controlled flap delivers
the distinctive BMW M engine soundtrack across the entire rev range without
pushing volume levels to their stipulated limits. In addition, drivers can use the
Driving Experience Control switch to select a driving mode and a
preconfigured sound to go with it.
Manual gearbox with automatic throttle blipping.
The new BMW M2 Coupe comes as standard with a six-speed manual
gearbox, which stands out with its compact design and low weight. The use of
a new type of carbon-fibre friction lining enhances shift comfort. Dry-sump
lubrication prevents any sloshing of the transmission oil and ensures all
components benefit from an efficient supply of oil. An engagement speed
control function, which blips the throttle on downshifts and lowers the
engine’s revs on upshifts, makes gear changes even smoother and lends the
car additional stability during hard driving on the track.

Flawless shifts in a split-second.
The new BMW M2 can be ordered as an option with the latest generation of
the seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmissions (M DCT with Drivelogic).
This system, which effectively combines two gearboxes, each with its own
clutch, is specially designed to work with the customary engine dynamics of
M cars and the engine’s high torque and output. Depending on the driving
mode activated, it enables either extremely fast gear changes with no
interruption in the flow of power or ultra-smooth shifts. The extra gear of the
M DCT transmission over the six-speed manual gearbox allows very small
increases in rpm between gear changes when accelerating and reduces fuel
consumption thanks to its longer gear ratios.
The driver can change gear either in automated mode or manually using the
M gearshift lever on the centre console or shift paddles on the M leather
steering wheel. The Drivelogic function tuned to the M Double Clutch
Transmission offers a choice of six driving programs (three in automatic mode
and three in manual mode). The COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+ settings
can be activated using the Driving Experience Control switch. In automatic
mode and the COMFORT setting, the transmission shifts up and down
through the gears early and less intensely. In SPORT and SPORT+ the gear
changes are sharper and arrive at higher revs. The automatic throttle blipping
function on downshifts makes them even more dynamic and the position of
the accelerator also influences the timing of the gearshift and its intensity.
Moving between the transmission’s manual modes alters the shift dynamics,
but it is the driver who determines the timing of a gear change. The system
detects which gear the driver will choose next on the basis of the engine’s
revs, the accelerator position, the level of acceleration and the driving mode,
and engages it before the driver has actually moved the shift paddle. As a
result, the clutches now only need to open or close for the gear-change
process to be completed. The change of gear is therefore executed in
fractions of a second and enhances the dynamic driving experience in a very
palpable way.
Optimal acceleration in all conditions.
The integrated Launch Control function ensures the best possible
acceleration off the line in all conditions. To this end, the ideal getaway rpm is
automatically dialled in and the clutches primed to deliver maximum
propulsion. Once under way, upshifts are timed with optimal rev matching.
This allows the BMW M2 with innovative M DCT to outperform the already
outstanding acceleration achievable with the six-speed manual gearbox.

Innovative Drivelogic functions.
The optional M Double Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic offers further
specific M functions. For example, Stability Clutch Control (SCC) disengages
the clutches when necessary to prevent oversteer and so stabilise the vehicle.
The “creep on demand” function allows the driver to prompt the creep effect
familiar from conventional automatic transmissions by nudging the accelerator
while at a standstill – to manoeuvre out of tight parking spaces, for example.
Another integrated feature is the Smokey Burnout function, which invites the
driver to indulge in a degree of rear wheel spin while the car is moving at low
speeds.

The roots of BMW M GmbH lie in motor racing, as is highlighted in no small
measure by the dynamic talent of all BMW M models. And the new BMW M2
also sets the pace in its segment when it comes to agility, driving feeling,
directional stability, steering precision and controllability at the limit, without
short-changing the driver in everyday use.
Lightweight design and precise wheel location.
The basic requirement for top-level driving dynamics is a high level of rigidity
and a low axle system weight. That’s why the BMW M GmbH engineers have
referred back to the lightweight aluminium front and rear axles of the
BMW M3/M4 models for the new BMW M2 Coupe. For example, just the
control arms, wheel carriers, axle subframes and stiffening plate of the double-
joint spring-strut front axle weigh five kilograms less than would be the case
with a conventional steel construction. Further weight savings are provided by
the aluminium suspension struts and tubular anti-roll bar.
In order to ensure extremely precise wheel location, play-free ball joints are
used to transmit transverse forces. The stiffening plate and additional bolted
connection between the axle subframe and the body sills, which increases the
stiffness of the front-end structure, also has a positive influence here. The
longitudinal forces passing through the suspension are transmitted into the
torque struts directly via special elastomer bearings, and this delivers the
desired rolling comfort at the same time.
All the control arms and wheel carriers of the new BMW M2’s five-link rear
axle are made from forged aluminium, which reduces the unsprung masses of
the wheel-locating components by around three kilograms compared to a
steel construction. In addition, a racing-derived rigid connection, dispensing
with rubber bushings, is used to fix the lightweight steel grid-type rear axle
subframe to the body. This further improves wheel location and tracking
stability. The axle kinematics – which govern the movement of the wheels
under compression according to the arrangement of the control arms – are
likewise tuned to deliver the precise wheel location familiar from M cars.
Made-to-measure wheels and tyres.
In order to transfer the car’s dynamic potential to the road as effectively as
possible, the development of specific tyres for the new BMW M2 was

incorporated into the axle construction from the outset. A certain set of factors
take priority here – especially when dealing with a high-performance sports
car. For example, a great deal is asked of the front wheels in terms of lateral
stability, directional stability, steering feel and steering precision, while the rear
wheels are called on to deliver optimal traction, lateral stability and directional
stability. With this in mind, the BMW M development engineers decided to fit
the new BMW M2 with aluminium wheels and mixed-size tyres.
The lightweight 19-inch forged wheels (front axle: 9J x 19, rear axle 10J x 19)
substantially reduce rotating and unsprung masses. Together with the
exclusive 19-inch Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres (front axle: 245/35 ZR 19,
rear axle: 265/35 ZR 19), they make a considerable contribution to the
outstanding dynamic properties of the new BMW M2 and, at the same time,
ensure impressive ride comfort.
High-performance brakes born in motor sport.
The high-performance brakes of the new BMW M2 are also a product of
motor sport and can be quickly identified by their brake callipers (front axle:
four-piston fixed callipers, rear axle: two-piston fixed callipers), which are
painted in a blue metallic finish and display the M logo at the front axle. In
these M compound brakes, fitted as standard on the new BMW M2, the
heavily loaded, perforated and inner-vented brake disc ring is made from grey-
cast iron (front axle: 380 mm in diameter, rear axle: 370 mm in diameter), while
the brake disc hub is manufactured from aluminium, thus saving weight.
M compound brakes guarantee excellent deceleration in all conditions and
impress with their resistance to fade and heat. They are also significantly
lighter than conventional braking systems as they reduce unsprung and
rotating masses, which means they play a major role in further enhancing the
dynamic ability of the new BMW M2.
Two settings for the Electric Power Steering.
The standard-fitted Electric Power Steering of the new BMW M2 also helps
to imbue it with the unique BMW M driving feeling. The development of the
system prioritised hallmark M attributes, such as direct steering feel, precise
feedback on the driving situation and driving at the limit. The integrated
Servotronic function with M-specific characteristics controls the level of
steering assistance electronically according to the car’s speed. Added to
which, the steering of the new BMW M2 also offers two settings –
COMFORT and SPORT/SPORT+ – which can be selected by pressing the
Driving Experience Control switch. This allows drivers to adjust the steering’s
power assistance at any time to the task at hand or to their personal
preferences. SPORT mode can be configured via iDrive. The engine and
12. BMW

steering settings can be stored in SPORT mode either as a combination or
individually.
Unlike conventional hydraulic steering systems, the new BMW M2’s Electric
Power Steering does not require any energy when the car is being driven in a
straight line or standing still with the engine running. This enables a reduction
in fuel consumption of 0.3 l/100 km.
Permanent, fully variable differential control.
The Active M Differential in the new BMW M2 optimises traction and
maximises directional stability. This electronically controlled multi-plate
limited-slip differential takes traction and directional stability to a new level.
The multi-plate limited-slip differential is proactively controlled with extremely
high precision and speed. The locking effect can be varied between 0 and
100 per cent according to the driving situation. Sensors including those of the
DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system determine the car’s steering angle,
accelerator position, brake pressure, engine torque, wheel speed and yaw
rate. The control unit uses this analysis of the driving situation to detect the
threat of traction loss on one side of the car and calculates the required
locking effect, which is engaged by an electric motor. Full locking power of
2,500 Nm (1,843 lb-ft) is available within 150 ms. This allows the system to
prevent a wheel from spinning in extreme conditions on slippery road surfaces
or when the two rear wheels are experiencing significant differences in friction
coefficient.
In certain situations the Active M Differential even works proactively. When
pulling away on slippery surfaces, the lock is closed by a defined percentage
even before a wheel can start to spin, to ensure that both wheels develop
equal slip at the same time. This optimises traction and stability. The lock is
also closed by the required percentage through enthusiastically driven
corners, according to the levels of lateral acceleration and drive at work. This
prevents the low-traction inside wheel from starting to turn too quickly.
This permanent and infinitely variable differential control also increases agility,
avoids understeer on the way into corners and improves directional stability
under braking and load changes.
Drifts on the race track.
M Dynamic Mode (MDM) also enables the new BMW M2 to satisfy the
demands of drivers looking for a little extra on the dynamic front. MDM is a
sub-function of Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). DSC effectively counteracts
incipient oversteer or understeer or a loss of traction by taking steps (reducing
engine power, braking individual wheels) to stabilise the car. However, in
13. BMW
Media
information

Page 13
certain situations – e.g. sporty and dynamic driving on the race track – a
greater degree of wheel spin can be an advantage.
Here, M Dynamic Mode, which is activated automatically in the recommended
track mode (SPORT+) or can be engaged with a short dab of the DSC button,
allows greater slip. The stabilising measures familiar from DSC mode now
intervene later, increasing the freedom available to drivers at the dynamic limit.
The extra wheel slip enhances traction and therefore propulsion. More
significant oversteer and understeer are possible, as are moderate, controlled
drifts, but the Dynamic Stability Control active safety aids can still be relied on
in critical situations. In any event, responsibility for stabilising the car always
lies with the driver.

Concentrated power and a casual, youthful charm on the one hand, an
unadulterated focus on sporting achievement and credible everyday ability on
the other: the new BMW M2 Coupe is the perfect gateway into the illustrious
world of BMW M cars. The new BMW M2 Coupe makes all the running in the
compact high-performance sports car segment with its outstanding driving
dynamics and agility that combine to deliver an extraordinary driving
experience, allied with precise driver feedback and consummate car control.
What the new BMW M2 Coupe has in store in practice is instantly clear from
the way it looks. The follow-up to the BMW 1 Series M Coupe showcases its
impressive on-the-road presence from every angle. Its M-specific exterior
features send out a whole-hearted statement of dynamics and agility,
promising both a superior performance on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife and
convincing abilities on urban roads. In the grand tradition of BMW sport
coupes, the new BMW M2 Coupe contains stylistic references to highlights
from its forebears in BMW’s motor sport back-catalogue – such as the
BMW 2002 turbo and legendary BMW 3.0 CSL.
Inspired by motor sport history.
A glance at the front end of the new BMW M2 reveals characteristic M design
features. The signature BMW kidney grille, with its black-painted double bars
replicating the design of the M double-spoke wheels, carries the
BMW M logo. And the three-dimensional design of the grille has a “shark
nose” feel to it. The modern take on the BMW twin circular headlights (here in
xenon form) underlines the car’s forward-surging look and establishes a close
stylistic connection with the grille. This further sharpens the focus of the new
BMW M2 on the road ahead.
The large front apron with trapezoidal blades and the Air Curtains in the outer
air intakes recall the type of protruding spoilers that have been a familiar sight
in motor sport down the years. For the BMW M2 they were inspired in
particular by the BMW 3.0 CSL touring car racer. However, the large blades
are not only a nod to the past. Form follows function is the message here, so
as well as underlining the wide track of the new BMW M2 they divert part of
the airflow through the wheel arches, while the Air Curtains guide the air
effectively past the wheels. These two features work together to reduce air
turbulence around the front wheel arches, cutting drag in the process.

Moreover, the large air intakes cover the immense cooling air requirements of
the high-performance engine. Thanks to the careful channelling of the airflow
around and through elements of the car, drag has been reduced by five per
cent compared with the BMW 2 Series Coupe, despite the M2’s stronger
cooling performance. The aerodynamic measures have also reduced lift by
35 per cent and significantly improved aerodynamic balance at higher speeds.
Hallmark BMW proportions.
Looking at the new BMW M2 Coupe from the side, it is immediately
identifiable as a fully-fledged member of the BMW M family. Compact
dimensions and hallmark BMW proportions – i.e. a short front overhang,
sweeping bonnet, long wheelbase and set-back greenhouse with classic
BMW Hofmeister kink – are the starting point, with signature M design
elements strengthening the dynamic expression. For example, the newly
interpreted BMW gills rearwards of the front wheel arches reference a feature
first seen on the BMW 3.0 CSL. They send out a visual statement and set the
swage line on its way towards the rear.
Muscular athlete.
The side swage line – which begins rearwards of the front axle on the new
BMW M2, then rises dynamically towards the tail and links the flanks of the
car with its rear end – is a classical BMW design feature; in the case of the
BMW 2002, for instance, it extended around the whole car. Other typical
elements of the new BMW M2’s powerful appearance are the sculptural wing
extensions at the front and rear axle, which immediately bring to mind the
image of a muscular athlete with broad shoulders in a figure-hugging race suit
and visually enhance the car’s standout dynamic abilities. However, these
significant bodywork extensions (front: 55 mm, rear: 80 mm) are again not
only a stylistic statement, but necessary to accommodate the wider track and
wheels – in this case 19-inch aluminium forged rims in familiar BMW M
double-spoke design.
Admire it as it flashes by.
The broad rear end of the new BMW M2 highlights its firm grip on the asphalt,
a quality further reinforced by the horizontal lines in the boot lid and rear
apron. The M rear spoiler on the boot lid also accentuates the elevated
dynamic aspirations of the new BMW M2.
The vertical reflectors at the outer extremes of the rear apron form a stylistic
connection with the trapezoidal blades at the front end and once again
emphasise the powerful appearance of the new BMW M2. This feeling is
additionally strengthened by the L-shaped rear lights which have become a
16. BMW

Page 16
fixture of BMW models. Their horizontally arranged LEDs also underscore the
broad-set and imposing impression created by the new BMW M2.
The looks of the rear end are rounded off by another classical BMW M
feature. The diffuser integrated into the rear apron is a clear reference to the
racing abilities of the new BMW M2 and offers a nod to its optimised
aerodynamics. Likewise integrated into the rear apron are the familiar quartet
of hallmark BMW M exhaust tailpipes in high-gloss chrome, which draw
renewed attention to the low visual centre of gravity and point clearly to the
dynamic performance of the new BMW M2.
A sporty driver focus wherever you look.
As with all BMW M models, the interior architecture of the new BMW M2 also
stands out with its pervasive driver focus and flawless ergonomics. The car is
fitted with a host of BMW M-specific equipment details to reflect its
prominent dynamic leaning. The sports seats, in black Dakota leather with
blue contrast stitching and an M logo in the backrests, have adjustable side
bolsters to give the driver and front passenger optimum support through fast
corners. An M footrest and knee pad on the centre console for the driver
continue the theme.
Instruments with BMW M2-specific dials and needles, a speedometer scale
reaching round to 300 km/h (186 mph) and a rev counter reading up to
8,000 rpm provide an indication of the car’s extraordinary performance
potential as soon as you climb aboard. Added to which, when M Dynamic
Mode is engaged, a DSC skidding symbol and “Traction” alert are flashed up.
Familiar M equipment items in the new BMW M2 Coupe also include M logos
on the rev counter, gearshift lever, door sill plates and M leather steering
wheel with shift paddles. Other highlights of the interior are the new BMW M2
trim strip with surfacing in porous carbon fibre – an extremely light and robust
high-tech material – and Alcantara for the door cards and parking brake lever
gaiter.

Departure Warning. The system warns the driver of potential collisions with
pedestrians or other vehicles in urban areas and brakes the car automatically.
Furthermore, it uses steering wheel vibrations to alert drivers if they stray from
their lane unintentionally. Speed Limit Info flashes up traffic signs and the
permitted top speed, and the driver is warned if overtaking is not allowed. The
rear-view camera teams up with rear Park Distance Control to assist drivers
with reverse parking and manoeuvring. Plus, the optional Navigation

ensures the various functions are even easier to use.
Analyse your own driving style, film racing laps.
The optional ConnectedDrive Services open up the world of vehicle
connectivity to customers, revealing intelligent services and features as well
as an extensive range of apps. The GoPro app is a case in point, likewise the
M Laptimer app from BMW M GmbH, which drivers can use to improve their
driving style on the track precisely as required. This application records the
car’s speed, longitudinal and lateral acceleration, engine speed, the gear
engaged at any one time, the steering angle, the accelerator position and fuel
consumption. All this allows drivers to subsequently analyse their responses
precisely corner by corner, gives them the option of comparing their laps with
those of other drivers and enables them to share the data by e-mail or
Facebook.
The GoPro app allows drivers to use a GoPro camera to film fast laps of the
race track, for example. BMW ConnectedDrive paves the way for all
applications to be integrated seamlessly into the car. They can be operated
using the iDrive Touch Controller and viewed in the Control Display.

The new BMW M2 sees BMW M GmbH building on the success of the
BMW 1 Series M Coupe. Like its forebear, the BMW M2 also sets the
benchmark in the compact high-performance sports car segment. Not that
the M2 has just the one direct predecessor. Indeed, it continues the tradition
of the legendary original BMW M3 – the E30 from 1986. And it is also a close
descendant of a car from 40 years ago that perfectly embodied the focus of
BMW M GmbH on stand-out dynamic talent, unbeatable agility and
unshakable car control no matter what the situation: the BMW 2002 turbo.
Head-turning ancestor.
When the BMW 2002 turbo was unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in
autumn 1973 as the new flagship model of the BMW 02 Series, the first Oil
Crisis was just beginning. This backdrop was a major factor behind the growth
of the BMW 2002 turbo into one of the most emotionally rich cars of its time.
Today, it is a hugely coveted classic.
Its impact on automotive history alone provides sound reasons for this current
status. After all, the BMW 2002 turbo was the first series-produced German
car to feature a turbocharger. Only available in Polaris metallic and Chamonix
paint finishes, it was soon thrilling drivers with its stunning dynamic repertoire.
The BMW engineers employed a Kugelfischer fuel injection system and KKK
turbocharger to extract a tidy 125 kW/170 hp at 5,800 rpm from the two-litre
four-cylinder engine. And torque of 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm was also
more than impressive. That was enough to power the super-light
BMW 2002 turbo (weighing in at just 1,107 kilograms) from 0 to 100 km/h
(62 mph) in 8.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 212 km/h (132 mph). The
BMW 2002 turbo was therefore one of the fastest-moving sights on German
roads at the time.
And it wasn’t afraid to shout about it. A large front spoiler, bolted-on plastic
wing extensions and a spoiler lip on the boot lid signalled the impressive
dynamic potential of the BMW 2002 turbo without the need for a second
glance. The interior likewise upped its game to reflect the requirements of
keen drivers. Sports seats offered maximum lateral support through quickly
taken corners, the grippy leather steering wheel enabled silky-smooth car
control and there was a gauge above the centre console to keep the driver up
to speed on charge pressure.

With its cutting-edge suspension featuring a MacPherson front axle, a semi-
trailing arm rear axle, anti-roll bars front and rear and inner-vented front disc
brakes, the BMW 2002 turbo led the way in the 1970s in terms of driving
dynamics.
A total of 1,672 units of the BMW 2002 turbo were built between September
1973 and November 1974.
A legend of motor sport.
The original BMW M3 (E30), the sports version of the compact BMW 3 Series
range, was presented in 1986. The 4.36-metre-long, two-door sedan was
conceived as a homologation model for the German Touring Car
Championship and wore its ambitious sporting intentions proudly on its
sleeve. With its brawny wing extensions, a large front spoiler, side skirts, a
lowered rear apron and a prominent spoiler rising up from the rear end, the
first BMW M3 had the exterior presence of a finely-tuned athlete. A more
heavily raked rear window than that of a standard BMW 3 Series and a raised
boot lid made from glass-fibre-reinforced plastic brought further aerodynamic
gains.
The BMW M3 was powered by a 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine featuring four-
valve technology, which developed 147 kW/200 hp at 6,750 rpm and served
up peak torque of 240 Nm (177 lb-ft) at 4,750 rpm. It sent this power to the
rear wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox with a dogleg first gear. The
BMW M3 took just 6.7 seconds to race from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) and
recorded a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph).
These enviable statistics underpinned the ascent of the original BMW M3 to
legendary status in motor racing circles. It won the touring car world
championship in its first season on the race track. And the first M3 remains
the world’s most successful touring car racer to this day, having notched up
more than 1,500 race victories, including four wins in a row in the 24-hour
race at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife.
By mid-1991 over 18,000 units of the original BMW M3, which was also
available in convertible form from 1987, had been built.
Powerful predecessor.
The first M car based on the BMW 1 Series arrived in 2011 in the form of the
BMW 1 Series M Coupe, so called to avoid confusion with the legendary
BMW M1 mid-engined super-sports car.

The BMW 1 Series M Coupe was powered by a three-litre six-cylinder in-line
engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and developed output of
250 kW/340 hp at 5,900 rpm. The BMW 1 Series M Coupe made its peak
torque of 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) available between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm. The 0
to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint was all over in just 4.9 seconds and top speed
was an electronically limited 250 km/h (155 mph).
The BMW 1 Series M Coupe came as standard with lightweight M Sport
suspension, a mechanical differential lock with up to 100 per cent locking
effect, M compound brakes and 19-inch aluminium wheels with mixed-size
tyres. Track width was increased over the standard BMW 1 Series Coupe by
60 millimetres at the front and 40 millimetres at the rear.
Stylistic changes to the BMW 1 Series M Coupe included a new front apron
with larger air intakes in response to the car’s increased cooling requirement,
as well as wing extensions and a new rear apron. The interior was upgraded in
familiar M style with leather-covered M sports seats, an M sports steering
wheel, interior trim strips in Alcantara and BMW M logos.
