CUTS CORNERS INTO PIECES.

Driving dynamics & efficiency of the BMW M2 Coupé.
Built for spontaneous sprints and sharp bends. An extreme driving experience that you won’t forget in a hurry. With its outstanding agility, top-quality dynamics and striking sound, the BMW M2 Coupé is a typical M automobile. With an optional 7-speed M double-clutch transmission for extra-quick gear shifts. With M compound brakes designed for the highest loads. With the standard-feature Active M Differential for maximum driving stability and traction. In short, a vehicle created to dominate wherever it drives.

ACTIVE M DIFFERENTIAL.
The Active M Differential variably distributes the drive torque between the two rear wheels to optimise traction and driving stability during dynamic lane changing or accelerating out of curves, when making curves at high speeds or on roads with uneven surfaces, including on snow, gravel and ice. It even provides precise handling during extreme lateral acceleration. The constant, smooth adjustment of the differential lock harmonises the vehicle's driving performance, improving control in extreme driving situations.
Traction is optimised with the help of an electronically operated device that reduces the difference in revolution speed between the rear wheels. The system, which was developed for motor sports, is connected to the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) via an electronic control unit. It proactively provides the perfect use of locking action between 0 and 100 percent, neutralising even the finest differences in torque between the rear wheels – without the tendency to understeer. The Active M Differential provides optimal grip as well as great directional stability and perfect handling, and it converts virtually all of the engine's drive power into acceleration.



RACING CHARACTERISTICS.
Irresistible dynamics, captivating agility, precise handling: Three features that have characterised M automobiles from the word go. The driving sensation in the BMW M2 Coupé is based on highly developed technology that was tested under the most extreme conditions possible, making the vehicle ready for the perfect sprint at all times and providing it with maximum grip. Important components have been optimised for use under conditions similar to motorsport and have been tested for maximum performance. DSC with M Dynamic Mode, electrical power steering with M specific Servotronic and the lightweight construction for the front and rear axle round off this captivating vehicle concept.

Racing capability
Lateral and longitudinal acceleration that occur in racetrack situations place particular demands on the oil supply. With their motorsport know-how, BMW M GmbH engineers have ensured a safe oil supply - in day-to-day driving and on the racetrack alike.

M Dynamic mode
M Dynamic Mode, a sub-function of Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), allows for improved driving dynamics by permitting a certain degree of wheel slip.
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) uses a variety of sensors to detect unstable driving conditions, such as understeering, oversteering or a loss in traction. When operating normally under these circumstances, DSC promptly stabilises the car by regulating engine output and individually braking targeted wheels.
When shifted into the M Dynamic Mode, such measures are initiated later in order to heighten the driving dynamics threshold for sporty drivers. The increase in wheel slip enables the full exploitation of the car's maximum longitudinal and lateral dynamic potential. In contrast to driving while DSC is deactivated, the driving support offered by DSC still operates when the threshold is reached. The driver is always responsible for stabilising the driving situation.

M Servotronic
Drivers can enjoy optimum power steering support in every driving situation with M Servotronic. It adjusts the steering assistance to suit the current speed and delivers a direct and precise steering response even at high speeds. It also ensures supreme comfort by minimising the physical effort required for steering, as well as maximising agility when parking, manoeuvring or navigating narrow or twisting roads.
A control unit uses electronic speed measurements to determine the necessary power steering support for every driving situation. The power steering support is finely adjusted via the electric control unit, making it far more precise than conventional servo-assisted power steering systems that rely on engine speed for orientation.
With M Servotronic, minimal physical effort is necessary for steering at lower speeds. As speed increases, however, the steering support required is reduced continuously so as to ensure more direct contact with the road and therefore optimum directional stability. M Servotronic is specifically tailored for the M line and offers three settings for individual configuration that can be selected with the push of a button.
M COMPOUND BRAKES.

M compound brakes have benefited from motorsport technology, allowing them to maintain constant effectiveness and brake-fade stabilisation without diminishing the braking performance, even under demanding usage. The use of various highly resilient materials results in excellent thermal stability and long-term durability. Their precise controllability, coupled with their relatively low weight, also have a positive impact on agility, dynamism, acceleration and fuel consumption.
The perforated, ventilated brake disc rings (front 380 mm, rear 370 mm) with four-piston fixed callipers at the front and two-piston fixed callipers at the rear ensure optimal responsiveness in wet conditions and improve heat dissipation. The Blue metallic brake callipers with the characteristic M logo strongly emphasise the brake discs' sporty appearance and distinct, authentic M design.
270 KM/H
The M Driver's Package increases the top speed from the standard 250 km/h to 270 km/h. The M Driver's Package can be ordered directly for new vehicles, or can easily be added later. All other technical characteristics remain unchanged after the installation of the M Driver's Package. A voucher for driver safety training is included.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS TECHNOLOGIES.

Whether the goal is maximum performance or minimum fuel consumption – for BMW, the focus is always on delivering quintessential BMW driving pleasure. BMW EfficientDynamics is the strategy developed by BMW to minimise fuel consumption and CO2 emissions while simultaneously increasing dynamics and driving pleasure. It is a comprehensive technology package that encompasses the engine, energy management and the vehicle concept – and comes with every BMW.
The new generation of petrol and diesel engines in the BMW TwinPower Turbo family is responsible for the improved performance and lower fuel consumption. Optimised aerodynamics contribute to increasing efficiency, as does BMW EfficientLightweight, which simultaneously lowers weight and increases vehicle rigidity by using the right materials for the right parts.
