Global Press Release

May 15, 2017

Munich.
The desire for individualisation remains unbroken. With M Performance Parts, BMW offers sports-oriented customers the opportunity to customise their cars according to their preferences. With the new BMW M240i M Performance Edition, BMW M is now launching a special series in line with this trend. It has been designed to express the athletic appeal of the compact sport coupé even more. The Edition model already features many high-grade exterior components from the M Performance accessory program ex works. These have been harmonised with care and enhance the sporty appearance and dynamic appeal of the powerful Coupé even further. Carbon fibre or black detail parts provide distinctive contrasts to the Alpine White paintwork. The BMW M240i M Performance Edition is powered by a 250 kW/340 hp inline 6-cylinder engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo Technology (combined fuel consumption: 8.5 – 7.7 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 195 – 176 g/km)*.

Powerful statement and outstanding athleticism.
The athletic look of the compact sports coupé is highlighted especially by the large 19 inch light alloy wheels, fitted with 225/35 R19 (front) and 245/30 R19 (rear) mixed tyres. The high-quality double-spoke forged wheels are finished in bicolor Orbit Grey and have a diamond polished visible side; at the front the special edition features areodynamics parts consisting of air guides, splitter and bumper front section, whose spoiler lip is finished in matt black. The radiator grille including kidney grille bars is also in black. The partly painted rear diffuser and a carbon-fibre rear spoiler add to the car’s expressive appeal. Here, too, carbon fibre and black colours create an impressive contrast to the car’s white paintwork.

Carbon fibre tailpipe trim with embossed M logo underline the motor racing character of this edition model. Carbon fibre outside mirror caps and the side sill attachments with foiled M Performance inscription round off the dynamic appearance of the BMW M240i M Performance Edition.

Uncompromising quality and performance. All M Performance components have been developed especially for the BMW M240i incorporating the full motor sports know-how of BMW M GmbH and are perfectly harmonised with each other. Together they optimise the aerodynamic flow pattern around the car thereby optimising its handling and driving performance. The BMW M240i M Performance Edition is assembled exclusively in the BMW Leipzig plant.

Consistently sporty, with optional BMW xDrive.
The powerful BMW M240i M Performance Edition can be ordered either with a 6-speed manual gearbox or an 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. In addition BMW xDrive is optionally available for the high performance coupé. In this case the car always comes with automatic transmission. The compact sports car boasts impressive performance figures. In conjunction with the all-wheel drive (combined fuel consumption: 8.0 l/100 km, combined CO2 emissions: 184 g/km)* it sprints from zero to 100 km/h in only 4.4 seconds, the top speed being 250 km/h for every drive variant.

The BMW M240i M Performance Edition is limited to 750 units and will be available from July 2017.

* The fuel consumption figures were calculated based on the ECE test cycle, dependent on the choice of transmission and the configuration of the drivetrain.

Sounds like the regular M240...same spec wheels available...same power...same suspension. Only thing I see is a carbon spoiler, carbon mirror covers and more M badges on the side skirts and no mention of an LSD...so..."stickers adds 10 hp" BMW is trying to sell people

So....they just bolt on all the M Performance accessories for you, so you don't have to do it later? Cool, I guess.

Looks great, I'll take two! But where are the ///Motorsport stripes? In alpine white, it needs the colorful stripes. Or maybe I need them. ?

Yeah, my thought exactly. Might be less expensive this way than buying/installing all the M pieces separately, and less hassle too.

I know it's sacrilege, but I wish the wheels were 1" smaller. Otherwise, I really like the entire package. It's gorgeous

Skinny tires and stick on carbon wow.

It's like BMW are ricing it for you, they could have done an ECU tune to add an extra 50 HP and given you 265s at the back, but instead you pay M2 prices for a a base car with shiny bits.

I understand your point in theory.

However, in reality I think whoever buys this over a M2 should see a psychologist.

Somehow, somewhere deep down inside they must not feel worthy of true M goodness.

There's something holding them back.

It's just a slightly less good M2 for the same price. M2 is just fine for a daily driver.

Looks like a 4x4 with that wheel well. I would not pay the additional for the "Performance edition" which offers no gain in performance.
