Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the availability of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé, a car that offers the experience of sportiness and elegance to the premium compact segment. Produced at the BMW Group’s plant in Leipzig, the second model generation of the 4-door model now lends even greater emphasis to these hallmark BMW qualities. A clear increase in presence and dynamic performance in the design gives the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé a particularly extroverted appearance. An entirely renewed drive portfolio, extensively enhanced suspension technology, and innovative systems for automated driving and parking ensure unique driving pleasure.

"The all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is the latest addition to our growing list of CAT A COE offerings in Singapore. With even more options to choose from when browsing for their new car, customers have the freedom to decide what works best for their needs,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “For those who want something a bit more edgy, the BMW 216 Gran Coupé’s swooping silhouette and frameless side windows will capture attention. However, behind the wheel is where drivers get that true-blue BMW experience – this is the key ingredient that our fans cannot get enough of!”

The progressive character of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is also evident in its use of digitalisation. The user experience in the redesigned interior is defined by the new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect and a wide range of digital services and in-car gaming based on BMW Operating System 9.

Sporty elegance in the hallmark style of the BMW brand.

The exterior design of the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé is defined by an expressive front section, a dynamically elongated silhouette, and a powerfully designed rear. This conveys even more clearly the sporty elegance that is so characteristic of a BMW Gran Coupé.

The wide BMW radiator grille positioned below the headlights featuring an innovative structure of vertical and diagonal bars inside and the large lower air inlet give the all-new BMW 216 Gran Coupé a low-slung, road-hugging appearance. The standard Adaptive LED headlights come with glare-free matrix high beam, cornering light function, and blue accentuations.

The side view is defined by the long bonnet, short overhangs, and a gently flowing roofline. A pronounced indentation in the transition to the rear emphasises the athletically shaped shoulder section. At the rear of the elegantly elongated side window graphic, a discreetly embossed number 2 highlights the characteristic Hofmeister kink. The rear derives its powerful, modern appearance from an especially ample surface structure broken up by just a few lines and flat lights with a striking notch, and invisibly integrated exhaust tailpipes. Further accentuations for refined dynamic performance are provided by the M Sport package.

The range of exterior finishes includes one solid and ten metallic finishes, of which four are BMW Individual finishes. A contrasting high-gloss black finish for the roof is also optional.

The all-new edition of the BMW 216 Gran Coupé has been increased in length by 20 millimetres to 4,546 millimetres, while the wheelbase measures 2,670 millimetres. The width of the vehicle is 1,800 millimetres, and the height has been increased by 25 millimetres to 1,445 millimetres.

Singapore. BMW Asia, Performance Motors Limited and Performance Munich Autos today announced the availability of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé, a car that embodies sporting prowess in a particularly concentrated form, with a vehicle concept focused squarely on dynamic excellence, an athletic design, powerful engines and sophisticated chassis technology.

BMW has opened a new chapter in its tradition of super-sporty compact models and has set a new benchmark for driving pleasure – a brand speciality – at the premium end of this vehicle class. Its standalone appearance, a six-cylinder in-line petrol engine at the sharp end of the line-up, rear-wheel drive and chassis components carried over from the BMW 4 Series put clear water between the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé and the compact BMW 1 Series, while also laying the foundations for performance attributes beyond the reach of any segment rival. The all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé therefore follows in the tyre tracks of the legendary BMW 02, which 55 years ago lit the fuse for the brand’s recent history of compact and irresistibly sporty two-door models.

As well as noticeable gains in dynamic ability, the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé also offers a premium cabin ambience of even greater class, and cutting-edge innovations in the areas of operation and connectivity. The advances made over the predecessor model are also reflected in a much wider range of driver assistance systems. The compact four-seater is built at the BMW Group’s San Luis Potosí plant in Mexico. A performance model from BMW M GmbH will top the range. The all-new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé uses its 374 hp six-cylinder in-line engine and intelligent all-wheel drive to generate a driving experience of rare emotional richness. Customers in Singapore can also opt for the all-new BMW 220i Coupé with a four-cylinder petrol engine that channels its power to the road through the rear wheels.

A vehicle concept with its sights set on sporting prowess.

The fresh, youthful and extrovert aura of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé is complemented by thoroughly engineered and perfectly balanced driving attributes. Its vehicle concept is geared squarely to offering agile and precisely controllable handling in highly dynamic situations. Compact dimensions, intelligent lightweight design for the body and chassis, an up to 12 per cent increase in static torsional rigidity compared to the predecessor model, almost perfect 50 : 50 weight distribution and optimised aerodynamics create an ideal blueprint for a vehicle character majoring in sporting excellence. The agility, steering precision and cornering dynamics of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé represent a significant step forward from the predecessor model. At the same time, optimised ride comfort and acoustics enhance the car’s abilities both in everyday driving and over long-distance journeys.

Distinctive proportions, athletic forms.

The exterior dimensions of the new compact sports car provide the ideal starting point for excellent driving dynamics. A vehicle length of 4,537 millimetres and width of 1,838 millimetres represent increases over the measurements for the predecessor model of 105 and 64 millimetres respectively. However, the new car stands 28 millimetres lower, with a vehicle height of 1,390 millimetres. Other factors in the powerful and athletic appearance of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé are its wheelbase, which is now 51 millimetres longer at 2,741 millimetres, and the wide tracks. Track widths of 1,575 millimetres (an increase of 54 millimetres) at the front axle and 1,587 millimetres (an increase of 31 millimetres) at the rear axle (BMW M240i xDrive Coupé: +63 millimetres at the front, +35 millimetres at the rear) are ideal for excellent cornering dynamics.

Powerful proportions set within the classical three-box design of bonnet, passenger compartment and boot embody the dynamic potential of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. Athletically sculpted surfaces and dynamic lines following the brand’s new design language represent an expression of pure driving pleasure. And exclusive design features underscore the unmistakable vehicle character.

Eye-catching front end: headlights and BMW kidney grille with exclusive design.

Three-dimensional surfaces, triangular forms and diagonal lines shape the striking front end of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. Prominently flared wheel arches and a muscular power dome at the centre of the bonnet give a clear indication of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé’s dynamic driving characteristics. The BMW kidney grille is horizontal in design and features vertically arranged air flaps at its heart in place of the classical bars. These open electrically when the engine behind the scenes has an increased need for cooling air.

The standard-fitted Adaptive LED Headlights with BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high beam assistant are positioned in the outer reaches of the front end and inspired by the legendary BMW 02 models, which have a single unit, circular design. These are also available in M lights Shadow Line specification with darkened inlays (standard on the all-new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé).

Side view with crisp lines; powerful rear.

A long bonnet, short overhangs and a set-back passenger compartment – whose rear section rests on powerfully flared wheel arches – headline the side view of the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. Large glazed surfaces, a roofline that swoops down dynamically, and the short boot lid culminating in a pronounced spoiler lip are other identifying features of the compact sports model. Crisp lines give the surfaces a defined athletic edge.

Horizontally pronounced surfaces give the powerful rear end its structure. The stylishly darkened rear lights – positioned at the outer extremes of the rear end – have compact contours. Their surfaces are formed by light clusters with three-dimensional sculpting. This provides a particularly classy showcase for the LED technology used in all the light functions.

Bespoke design features for M Sport cars and the all-new BMW M240i xDrive Coupé enhance the feeling of dynamism. And customers can also order model-specific M Performance Parts from the Genuine BMW Accessory range.

Sporting flair and refined premium ambience for the interior.

The driver-focused cockpit design and modern control panel on the centre console accentuate the sporting aura inside the all-new BMW 2 Series Coupé. The standard fitment of sport seats also feeds into the engaging nature of the driving experience. The taper in the rear section of the roofline, the high centre console and the smoothly blending surface treatment of the instrument panel and door panels create a cocooning feel around the driver and front passenger. And the individual-seat character of the two rear seats allows passengers in the rear to enjoy a sense of sporty driving pleasure as well.

High-quality materials and precise workmanship create a premium ambience above and beyond that of the predecessor model. Dynamic lines bring structure to the door panels and rear trim sections. Interior trim strips in the new Dark Graphite matt variant come as standard. A new design feature comes in the form of trapezoidal accent surfaces above the armrests in the doors.

With the rear backrests in their cargo position, boot capacity increases by as much as 90 litres. The rear seats can also slide forwards by up to 13 centimetres. This and the 40 : 20 : 40 split/folding rear seat backrests present customers with a load compartment that can be used for a multitude of purposes. Boot capacity is 470 –1,455 litres while the automatic tailgate operation comes as standard.

Two-zone automatic climate control and sports steering wheel as standard.

Sportiness and long-distance comfort in perfect harmony.

The chassis technology in the all-new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer has been engineered to deliver the brand’s customary sporting flair combined with impressive levels of ride comfort in every situation. With a body construction that reduces weight while increasing rigidity, a long wheelbase, and wider tracks than its predecessor, the car’s basic design provides the ideal blueprint for the job at hand.

Steering precision and agility have been enhanced by targeted updates for the single-joint spring strut axle at the front and the three-link rear axle. The near-actuator wheel slip limitation function included as standard improves both traction and directional stability. The integrated braking system is another new feature, as is the extra, lift-related damping for the front axle. The adaptive M suspension (standard on the all-new BMW 218i Active Tourer M Sport and BMW 218i Active Tourer M Sport Launch Edition) includes frequency-selective damping, sport steering and a 15-millimetre drop in ride height.

A fresh variety of systems for automated driving and parking.

The largest selection of systems for automated driving and parking yet offered for a BMW compact-segment model are available for the new edition of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer. Standard specification includes Cruise Control with brake function. The latter now also reacts to oncoming traffic when turning left and to pedestrians and cyclists and when turning right (in countries where vehicles drive on the right). The Parking Assistant including Reversing Assist Camera and Reversing Assistant also comes as standard. Options include the Steering and Lane Control Assistant, Active Cruise Control with Stop&Go function, Active Navigation, the exit warning function, the BMW Head-Up Display (standard on the Launch Edition models) and the Surround View, Remote 3D View, BMW Drive Recorder and Remote Theft Recorder functions.

Existing functions can be improved or expanded by means of Remote Software Upgrades, and customers can also use Functions on Demand to select and import a range of functions at a later stage (availability depends on the hardware fitted in the vehicle and the market conditions).

The new BMW iDrive makes its debut in the premium compact segment.

The new generation of the control/operation system iDrive, included here in a compact-segment model from BMW for the first time, is based on BMW Operating System 8. It links up as standard with the BMW Curved Display – with its state-of-the-art graphics and menu structure – and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with expanded skills range. The BMW Curved Display fully digital screen grouping is formed by a 10.25-inch information display and a control display with a screen diagonal of 10.7 inches. The new BMW iDrive is built around intuitive touch control and voice control. The new My Modes bring together individually selected vehicle settings with the relevant interior experience worlds.

The all-new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is now available for viewing at the Performance Motors Limited showroom.

Singapore. BMW Asia, Performance Motors Limited and Performance Munich Autos today launched the first-ever BMW M8 Competition Coupe at the Singapore Motorshow 2020. The annual motoring event, held from 9 – 12 January 2020 at Suntec Singapore Convention Centre (Level 4, Booth 106/107), is also the setting for the ASEAN premiere of the first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.

“2020 is going to be an exciting year as BMW continues on its product offensive. We’re thrilled to kick off this year with the launch of first-ever BMW M8 Competition Coupe, the fastest production model in the BMW range that exemplifies the purist M feeling in a luxury sports car,” said Mr. Christopher Wehner, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia.  

“Working closely with Performance Motors Limited and Performance Munich Autos, we’ll continue to provide customers with the power of choice – whether it be high-performance models such as the BMW M8 Competition Coupe or plug-in hybrid models such as the upcoming BMW X3 xDrive30e. Every BMW model promises joy behind the wheel, and we’re confident our customers will find a vehicle that meets their needs and exceeds their expectations,” Mr. Wehner added.

“The annual Singapore Motorshow is one of the most important motoring events in the year,” said Mr. Arnt Bayer, Managing Director, Performance Motors Limited. “In addition to giving customers an opportunity to experience the wide range of models we offer, it’s the perfect setting for the ASEAN premiere of the first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe. Set to be launched in Singapore in Q1, the first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe brings the four-door coupe concept into the premium compact segment for the first time.”

The first-ever BMW M8 Competition Coupe.

This new BMW M high-performance version takes the BMW 8 Series model range to an even higher level of performance, delivering supreme performance and an unmistakable blend of dynamism, agility, and precision. The first-ever BMW M8 Competition Coupe is a 2+2 seater and benefits from the most powerful engine ever developed by BMW M for a production model: the 4.4-litre V8 with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a peak output of 625 hp.

The first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe.

This car is the perfect choice for customers for whom sportiness, cutting-edge connectivity and ample on-board space rank highly. As its sporting looks imply, the first-ever BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe has its sights set on establishing the dynamic yardstick in its class. The advanced BMW front-wheel-drive architecture along with an array of other technological developments provides an outstanding toolkit for the job at hand. Furnished with cutting-edge chassis technology and innovative systems such as the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, the four-door coupe raises the bar in terms of driving dynamics and agility, and sets new benchmarks in the premium compact segment.

The new BMW R 1250 GS Adventure.

For decades, the boxer engine in the BMW Motorrad GS Adventure models has stood for distinctive, powerful and reliable propulsion when it comes to dynamic riding along country roads, sporty touring or enjoying long-distance trips and motorcycling adventures to the full. With the extensively further advanced boxer engine, the new BMW R 1250 GS Adventure achieves a whole new level of power and torque. Refinement and running smoothness have been significantly optimised – especially within the lower engine speed range. The new engine offers improved emission and fuel consumption levels as well as a particularly satisfying sound. For this purpose, BMW ShiftCam Technology has been used for the first time in the serial production of BMW Motorrad engines.

The Singapore Motorshow 2020 marks the start of a year-long collaboration with Spartan. With a full range of BMW X models from the BMW X1 to the BMW X6 evoking sportiness and adventure, BMW is proud to anchor Spartan Race Singapore this year as the Presenting Partner.
