<strong>Munich.</strong> Thanks to its combination of expressive
  design and outstanding brand-typical driving dynamics, the new BMW 2
  Series Gran Coupe (fuel consumption combined: 7.1 – 4.2 l/100 km, CO2
  emissions combined: 162-110 g/km*) has everything it takes to continue
  the seven-year success story of the BMW Gran Coupe in the compact
  segment too. In order to accentuate its athletic character even more
  and tailor the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to the needs and requirements
  of motorsport-enthusiastic customers, BMW also offers a wide range of
  M Performance Parts from the date of launch in November 2019.</p>
<p>Developed by BMW M Gmbh experts with their many years of motorsport
  expertise and countless victories on the world’s race tracks, these
  components meet the highest requirements with regard to performance,
  production quality and design. The M Performance Parts are not only
  visually attractive, but also integral elements of the light-weight
  construction concept. All components are perfectly matched to the
  specific character to the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.</p>
<h3>
<strong>Attractive and functional details for more distinctive visual appeal.</strong></h3>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3242/9338e443-0c81-47f7-a2ae-c3ac713a75bc/P90370856_highRes_bmw-2-series-gran-co.jpg"/></p>
<p>A number of individual options enable the customer to enhance the
  exterior of the new BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe to give it even more
  dynamic looks. The M rear spoiler in high-gloss black not only adds an
  attractive touch of visual flair, but also optimises the air stream
  around the car and positively affects driving behaviour thanks to
  reducing lift. The high-gloss black model inscriptions as well as the
  round M Performance stainless steel tail pipe finishers with titanium
  outer pipe and carbon fibre casing enhance the rear view of the car
  greatly. The high-gloss black mesh-style M front ornamental grille
  gives the front a highly dynamic look. The Carbon M Performance
  exterior mirror caps add both discreet yet distinctive details to the
  side view of the car. Like all carbon fibre components they are
  hand-crafted, sealed with a clear finish and given a high-gloss polish
  for an impressive depth effect. The structure, which is so
  characteristic for this material, makes these carbon-fibre reinforced
  plastic components very impressive to look at.</p>
<h3>
<strong>Luxurious as well as racing-style interior flair. </strong></h3>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3242/4e8304e6-3bdb-4e13-be64-9acc2cb09460/P90370860_highRes_bmw-2-series-gran-co.jpg"/></p>
<p>The interior of the new BMW 2 Sereis Gran Coupe can also be upgraded
  with various M Performance Parts. The most distinctive visual detail
  is the M Performance steering wheel. Its extremely high-grip alcantara
  handling area features large thumbrests and special underlining. The
  steering wheel gives the driver the feeling of becoming one with the
  car, which is essential for dynamic and safe driving. The red centre
  marking further supports this. Another visual highlight is the
  silver-grey, hand-sewn cross-stitch on the steering wheel rim. The
  carbon fibre/alcantara steering wheel trim rounds off the impressive
  look perfectly. The shift paddles of the M Performance steering wheel
  can also be ordered in an M Performance version with carbon fibre
  fabric instead of the standard chrome surface for versions of the BMW
  2 Sereis Gran Coupe with 7-speed double-clutch, 8-speed Steptronic or
  8-speed Steptronic sports transmission. The sporty-luxurious ambience
  is rounded off by the M Performance floor mats with M Performance
  inscription, a pennant in the hallmark M colours and a surround in
  leather look including decorative seam in contrasting colours.</p>
<h3>
<strong>Top-level dynamic performance thanks to sports brake system.</strong></h3>
<p>Not only insiders know that it isn’t engine power alone that leads to
  success, but above all braking performance. And since this insight
  from motor racing can also be applied to road use, the BMW 2 Series
  Gran Coupe may also be equipped with an M Performance brake system
  featuring highly distinctive red brake saddles. Its larger,
  inner-vented and perforated lightweight construction brake discs offer
  further improved braking response, optimised deceleration even under
  extreme conditions as well as maximum resilience.</p>
<h3>
<strong>18 and 19 inch complete wheel sets add athletic character.</strong></h3>
<p><img src="https://content.presspage.com/uploads/3242/c2685b0b-a9e6-45bc-aa09-38dc68ec7635/P90370857_highRes_bmw-2-series-gran-co.jpg"/></p>
<p>The 18 inch M Performance Y-Spoke Styling 554 M forged wheels and the
  19 inch M Performance Double Spoke Styling 555 M complete wheel sets
  emphasise the sporty character of the BMW 2 Series Grand Coupe. In Jet
  Black matt they add yet another athletic touch to the car’s sporty
  visual appeal. An especially charismatic highlight is added in the
  case of the 19 inch wheel thanks to the burnished finish with matt
  clear lacquer giving the car a eye-catching bicolour look. The 18 inch
  M Performance Y-Spoke Styling 554 M forged wheel is also available as
  a complete winter wheel set. Whoever prefers a bicolour wheel in the
  cold time of the year too, there is the 18 inch M Performance
  Double-Spoke 556 M Bicolour light alloy wheel (Cerium Grey, burnished).</p>
<h3>Experience the M Performance spirit even when the car is stationary.</h3>
<p>The thrilling motorsport atmosphere generated by the M Performance
  Parts is not only limited to when you are driving the BMW 2 Series
  Gran Coupe but also when you get in and out. For example the M
  Performance slide set for the LED door projectors is a very
  eye-catching option, allowing you to project your clear commitment to
  sporty driving onto the asphalt. The M Performance key holder made of
  high-quality alcantara with carbon fibre insert builds anticipation
  for the driving experience to come and makes the look and feel of pure
  driving pleasure come alive. Thanks to the internal hex screw in M
  Light Blue, the car key is firmly connected to the holder and
  therefore effectively protected from being scratched or damaged. The M
  Performance tyre bags made of high-quality and resilient plastic
  material not only make storing and transporting the wheels a clean and
  safe affair, but also bring a racing feel to your garage thanks to
  their distinctive M Performance design. And each bag is clearly marked
  so allocating tyres is easy.</p><div class="co2emission"><div class="co2emission-headline">CO2 EMISSIONS & CONSUMPTION.</div><div class="co2emission-text"><p>Fuel consumption combined: 7.1 – 4.2 l/100 km,CO2 emissions combined:
