The wait is finally over for M-grade power in BMW’s
stellar 2-Series chassis. The coupe will launch next spring with the
company’s new turbocharged inline-six making 365 hp and 343 lb-ft of torque,
good for a 0-60-mph sprint of just 4.2 seconds. That can be done by pretty much
anyone -- there’s a launch control system that does all the hard work.
The engine features BMW’s “TwinPower” turbocharging and, with
the overboost function, actually delivers 369 lb-ft of torque in the meat of
the rev range. Dual-clutch automatics or six-speed rev-matching manuals will be
offered. If you row your own, prepare to lose 0.2 second on the sprint. Power
is sent to the rear wheels. Here, it goes through BMW’s Active M Differential,
which uses sensors from the stability control, accelerator, brakes, wheels and
more to make the best judgment on where and how to put power down.
