BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe M Performance: What’s new?
It was a stylish sedan already, and now with the M Performance kit onboard, the all-new 2 Series Gran Coupe feels even sportier. Starting with the front, the limited-run 2 Series Gran Coupe features the M Performance Grille finished in Cerium Grey. Then even the fog lamp housing and the wing mirrors also come finished in a similar shade. To make this new sedan exclusive the fenders now get the ‘M Performance’ badge slapped on either end.
Inside the cabin, BMW is still sticking to its conventional driver-focused layout. However, the 2 Series M Performance has received special treatment to make it better than the regular model. To begin with, the sedan now comes equipped with M Performance Door Projectors, M Sport Seats, M Performance Alcantara Gear Selector Lever and edition-specific door pins as standard. Just to keep the luxury feel intact inside, it also features a panoramic sunroof and ambient lighting among others.
The features on the new 2 Series Gran Coupe M Performance make it a perfect everyday ride. A 10.25-inch fully digital driver’s display and a similarly sized touchscreen infotainment system help with all the required details and information related to the car. Then, there’s a head-up display for the driver to keep him/her focused all the time. The surround sound system on the 2023 BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe M Performance is also world class offering an immersive sound experience.
In terms of safety, it is available with six airbags, an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Dynamic Traction Control, Cornering Brake Control and many more to keep the occupants’ safety in check
It still gets BMW’s potent 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with an overall putout rated at 176 horsepower and 280Nm. The major highlight of the 2 Series Gran Coupe M Performance is that while using a 7-speed automatic transmission, it can go from 0-100kmph in just 7.1 seconds.
To alter the performance of the sedan, there are four drive modes, including Comfort, ECO PRO and Sport as standard.
