    With BMW's line of M Performance Parts, customers have the opportunity to customize 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; the M Performance Edition features many high-grade components from the M Performance accessory program.

    The M Performance Edition model features many high-grade exterior components from the M Performance accessory program. These have designed to enhance the sporty appearance and dynamic appeal of the powerful coupé even further. Carbon-fiber or black detail parts provide distinctive contrasts to the Alpine White paintwork. 

    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 tires. The high-quality double-spoke forged wheels are finished in 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 matte black. The radiator grille including kidney grille bars are also in black. The partly painted rear diffuser and a carbon-fiber rear spoiler add to the car’s expressive appeal. Here too, carbon-fiber and black colors create an impressive contrast to the car’s white paintwork. Carbon-fiber 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.

    All M Performance components have been developed especially for the BMW M240i incorporating the full motorsports 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.

    Carbon-fiber tailpipe trim with embossed M logo underline the motor racing character. The BMW M240i M Performance Edition is powered by a 340-hp inline 6-cylinder engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo Technology. 

    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, 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.
