Here is the BMW M2 concept "M Performance Parts"

Here is a small car with a big name: This is the BMW M Performance Parts Concept, revealed today before a race at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

It is, in short, a BMW M2 with a burst of performance addenda from the BMW Motorsport catalog, with the aim of offering a lighter, more punchy and more Aerodynamic small business punchy sport coupe.

Thus, BMW has managed to carve 60 kilos of the weight of the M2, deploying carbon wherever possible. There is a carbon hood, carbon side panels, carbon fiber front fins and side fins, and a finished carbon fiber roof – expect it – a clear carbon finish. Say too much carbon and it looks weird.

We are told that this car is "based on the BMW M2", itself recently replaced by the M2, so put on the 404bhp of the 3.0er twin-turbo 406lb ft of torque.

However, he gets a very fancy suspension: M Performance coilovers that can be lowered by 20mm, and offer 12 compression stages and 16 rebound stages. More and you would be confused. And yes, the springs come in black.

Elsewhere, there are M Performance gold forged alloys 19mm – 6kg lighter than standard M2 wheels – a rear diffuser made of carbon fiber, hatchback and even carbon fiber in the cab. The seats – CF – are 9 kg lighter than ordinary M2 seats, and there are also two special seats at the rear. In addition, a lighter battery that saves 14 kg

"BMW M GmbH has been closely involved in creating this more emphatic design", we are told, "contributing its racing expertise to the development of all M parts Performance."

So, this little car with the big name is essentially a catalog of rolling BMW performance parts. Like that?
