2013 Lumma Design BMW M6

   Refiner presents aerodynamic package for the coupé and convertible
    Alcantara, carbon and leather for the interior
    Power increase up to 650 hp available for export models

Experts from LUMMA Design have designed a complete aerodynamics package for the models of the BMW 6 Series (F12/F13). It fits both the coupé and convertible as well as the available M models.

 With its ultra-powerful V8 biturbo engine (560 hp/412 kW) and a maximum torque of 680 Nm, the new BMW M6 is the fastest coupé/convertible version in the current 6 Series. The LUMMA design department from Swabian Winterlingen, internationally known for their widebodies, is the talk of the town again with another body kit. This has been tailor-made for the M6 coupé and convertible, but also fits on models such as the BMW 640i and 650i as well as the 640d.

 The racy coupe and convertible is therefore even more attractive and sportier. Large air intakes are the hallmarks of the beefy front spoiler bumper. Made of ultra-lightweight carbon fiber, the carbon hood not only draws attention to itself, but also saves on weight. Wider wheel arches in the front and rear as well as the rear diffuser characterize the LUMMA-refined vehicle with its twin-pipe exhaust. The sport exhaust with 4x90 mm tailpipes is also available with a sound flap.

Multi-piece sport rims of type "RS 21" by LUMMA with 10x21 inches on the front and 12.5x21 inches on the rear axle fit excellently with the independent appearance of the exceptionally athletic vehicle. For the street version, a smaller version of the rear wing is available.

The individualized interior from LUMMA Design presents itself just as sporty. Elegant materials dominate the interior. Here you will find Alcantara, leather and carbon fiber.

Exclusively for the export versions of the vehicle based on the BMW M6, LUMMA Design offers increased performance. In three stages, 630, 640 or 660 hp, engineers coax more power from the flagship of the model type together with a maximum torque of 820 Nm and a top speed of 310 kilometers per hour.

2014 BMW X5 M50d

Third generation of the Sports Activity Vehicle, including M Performance model BMW X5 M50d, in the showrooms from 16 November 2013 – Model-specific products from BMW Individual and the Original BMW Accessories range available from launch.

Munich. The new BMW X5 is due to arrive in the showrooms on 16 November 2013. The launch of this third generation of the most successful Sports Activity Vehicle in the world will also introduce the BMW M50d M Performance Automobile. Boasting the world’s most powerful six-in-line diesel engine, suspension technology with hallmark M precision-tuning and aerodynamically honed exterior features, the BMW X5 M50d combines superior dynamics on the road with unimpeachable traction off the beaten track. The other character facets of the new BMW X5, moreover, can be explicitly highlighted: model-specific options offered by BMW Individual provide exclusive elegant touches, while new products in the Original BMW Accessories range – likewise specifically designed for the Sports Activity Vehicle – serve to underline its versatility and practicality.
BMW X5 M50d: enthralling dynamics thanks to trademark M precision.

A compelling combination of sportiness, exclusivity and everyday utility distinguishes the new BMW X5 M50d. Its six-cylinder in-line diesel engine boasts detailed refinements and comes with three-stage turbocharging and common rail direct injection. From a 3.0-litre displacement it develops output of 280 kW /381 hp and a peak torque of 740 Newton metres (546 lb-ft). BMW BluePerformance technology as standard means the M Performance Automobile is also EU6-compliant. The diesel unit’s power is transferred to the road by an eight-speed automatic transmission and BMW xDrive all-wheel drive.

The new BMW X5 M50d comes as standard with Adaptive M suspension including Dynamic Damper Control and air suspension at the rear axle, as well as Electric Power Steering. The optional Dynamic adaptive suspension package comprises Dynamic Performance Control and Dynamic Drive active roll stabilisation, while the exterior features standard 19-inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design fitted with mixed tyres. Noticeably enhanced agility and a quicker time of 5.3 seconds for the 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) sprint go hand in hand with fuel economy improved by more than ten per cent compared with the predecessor model. Average fuel consumption for the new BMW X5 M50d is 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres (42.2 mpg) in the EU test cycle, with CO2 emissions of 177 g/km.

2013 BBM Motorsport BMW E91 330d ..Yes Auto

The company BBM Motorsport based in Senden in the region of Münsterland – specialist in performance tuning – can be found in the outstanding domain on the Internet www.leistungsloch.de.

And – it may have occurred to several brilliant minds – the name of the domain can be seen as an absolute antonym to the philosophy of the company: No vehicle leaves a BBM workshop with a performance lag!

One example of the work of BBM technicians is the project vehicle E91 330d shown here. It was namely pushed to a performance of 274 horse power and a maximum torque of good 859 Newton meters (standard series is 231 horse power / 520 Nm) using a BBM chip tuning system that was developed on the basis of the company’s own Dynojet 224xLC performance test platform. In addition to software optimisation, a decisive share of the power boost can also be attributed to the complete Supersprint exhaust system as from the Turbo version and the Pipercross air filter.

The BMW station wagon was fitted with a KW Street Comfort coilover kit for a convincing long distance comfort to facilitate a spinal disk-friendly drive also in combination with the 8x19 and 9x19 inches BBS CH-R rims and the 225/35 and 225/30 tyres.

Of course, such a project vehicle should also be able to attract attention – a reason for SFT Carwrap from Ibbenbüren to give it a “somewhat“ conspicuous look: The full wrapping with matt red foil highlighted in matt black makes the Touring a real eye catcher! To match the general colour pattern, the BMW emblems and the side markers were tinted in dark shade. Even the interior strips were adapted to the look of the exterior with matt red wrapping.

FM-Coding from Telgte also endowed the three-series with a pair of electrical and electronic goodies: It now has side markers and daytime running lights, a digital speed display system and a comfort eject function, which automatically ejects the car key as soon as the “Engine off“ button is pressed.

By the way, the Dynojet Live stream, through which the BBM team can be observed fully unabashed is brand new on the BBM homepage. And, quite honestly: Could there be anything more beautiful than watching other people doing their job? It surely pays to take a look at www.leistungsloch.de!

2013 BMW Concept X5 eDrive ..Yes Auto

 The new BMW X5 raises efficiency to another new level in the world of the luxurious Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV). BMW is using the 2013 Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA) to present the logical next step towards landmark efficiency in the SAV segment. The BMW Concept X5 eDrive combines the brand of driving pleasure for which the xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system is renowned and a luxurious ambience within the variable-use interior with a plug-in hybrid drive concept. Its innovative BMW eDrive technology guarantees the hallmark sporting ability of a BMW, while at the same time opening the door to speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph), a maximum range of 30 kilometres (19 miles) on electric power alone and average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres (74.3 mpg imp).

The concept study’s BMW eDrive system consists of a four-cylinder combustion engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor which is also the work of the BMW Group. The 70 kW/95 hp motor sources its energy from a high-voltage lithium-ion battery. It can be charged from any domestic power socket and has sufficient capacity to enable the car to travel up to 30 kilometres (19 miles) solely on electric power, generating zero local emissions in the process. The high-voltage battery developed for the BMW Concept X5 eDrive is mounted in a particularly crash-safe position underneath the load area, whose capacity remains virtually unchanged as a result. There is a choice of three driving modes, depending on requirements and situation – the intelligent hybrid drive option for an optimum balance between sportiness and efficiency; pure electric and therefore emission-free driving; or Save Battery mode to maintain the current battery charge.

The groundbreaking character of the BMW Concept X5 eDrive is highlighted by understated but precisely arranged design accents. For example, the kidney grille slats, air intake bars and the inlay in the rear bumper – all in the BMW i Blue colour developed for the BMW i brand – present an appealing contrast to the Silverflake metallic exterior paintwork. The BMW Concept X5 eDrive also comes with specially designed roof rails, a connector for the charging cable that lights up during charging, and 21-inch light-alloy wheels in an exclusive, aerodynamically optimised design.
BMW eDrive in a Sports Activity Vehicle: intelligent hybrid technology delivers outstanding efficiency and characteristic driving pleasure.

Electrification of the powertrain allows BMW to unlock impressive potential for reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The BMW eDrive technology developed by the BMW Group to this end comes in various forms, each tailored precisely to the vehicle concept at hand. The BMW Group’s first purely electrically powered vehicle to go into series production – the BMW i3 – celebrates its world premiere at the IAA 2013. And taking to the stage alongside the i3 will be the BMW Concept X5 eDrive, which follows in the tyre tracks of the BMW Concept Active Tourer unveiled in 2012 as the second plug-in hybrid vehicle to feature BMW eDrive.

BMW eDrive technology hooks up with the intelligent all-wheel-drive system BMW xDrive for the first time in the BMW Concept X5 eDrive. The new study vehicle offers superior driving characteristics underpinned by the electronically controlled and fully variable distribution of drive between its front and rear wheels. Regardless of the driving mode selected, the power generated by the electric motor, combustion engine or the two units together is channelled quickly and precisely to the wheels where it can be converted most effectively into propulsion. This allows the BMW Concept X5 eDrive to demonstrate the typical qualities of an SAV – assured traction and optimised stability in all weather and road conditions, coupled with increased agility through dynamically taken corners – in outstandingly efficient fashion. The versatile and sporty driving attributes of the BMW Concept X5 eDrive are complemented by average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 3.8 litres per 100 kilometres (74.3 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of under 90 grams per kilometre.

The electric motor in the BMW Concept X5 eDrive generates maximum output of 70 kW/95 hp and – thanks to impressive torque available from the word go – demonstrates the instantaneous power delivery that has become a hallmark of electric drive systems. All of which elevates driving pleasure and efficiency to another level. The synchronous electric motor developed by the BMW Group also maintains a steady flow of power into the upper reaches of its load range and keeps weight low. The motor alone can propel the BMW Concept X5 eDrive to a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). As part of the boost function, it can also be used to give the combustion engine a noticeable hit of extra energy during acceleration and during dynamic mid-range sprints. The BMW Concept X5 eDrive can complete the sprint from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 7.0 seconds.
ECO PRO mode and all-electric driving: efficiency on demand.

Like members of the current series-produced BMW line-up, the BMW Concept X5 eDrive also offers ECO PRO mode, which is activated using the Driving Experience Control switch and encourages a particularly efficient driving style. This default mode is engaged when the car is started and offers intelligent hybrid functionality, whereby the energy management system tailors the interplay of combustion engine and electric drive system to most efficient effect. Drivers can also enjoy the services of the hybrid-specific Proactive Driving Assistant, which teams up with the navigation system to incorporate factors such as route profile, speed restrictions and the traffic situation into the driving mode selection.

Drivers can also switch to the all-electric driving mode. With the battery fully charged, the car can cover up to 30 kilometres (19 miles) on electric power alone and therefore with zero local emissions. Another option is the Save Battery mode, which allows the battery’s energy capacity to be maintained – for example, if the driver wants to cover the final stretch of a longer journey through town on purely electric power.
Everyday usability: flexible charging scenarios and viability.

In order to allow the extra efficiency of its electric powertrain to be utilised as widely as possible, the BMW Concept X5 eDrive is designed as a plug-in hybrid vehicle. Its high-voltage battery can be recharged from any domestic power socket, a Wallbox designed to offer stronger currents or a public charging station. The impressive degree of flexibility drivers can look forward to when choosing a charging point is enhanced by the charging cable stored in the load area below the flat storage compartment. The battery unit is located a level lower still, which means the car’s overall load-carrying capacity is only slightly reduced. The boot offers space for two large suitcases or four 46-inch golf bags, and the SAV’s high level of variability – thanks in part to its 40 : 20 : 40 split/folding rear seat backrest – is retained, as are the generous levels of space and comfort over long journeys that it offers in all five seats.
Intelligent connectivity for greater efficiency.

Innovative functions from BMW ConnectedDrive help drivers to maximise the number of journeys they complete on electric power alone. For example, in the BMW Concept X5 eDrive, the electric range available is shown as a numerical value. The car’s dynamic range display uses intelligent connectivity to keep a constant eye on all the factors affecting range, such as traffic conditions, route profile and driving style.

When the route guidance function is activated, the location of public charging stations is added to the points of interest shown on the navigation map. Drivers can call up stations located along their route or at their destination, and the system also tells them how much charging time is required to fully top up the battery once again.

All information concerning battery charge and electric range can also be viewed on the driver’s Smartphone. A Remote app from BMW ConnectedDrive developed specially to meet the requirements of electric mobility enables owners to control the charging process from their phone. It also allows the vehicle to be pre-programmed while it is connected to an electricity source. For example, the heating and climate control system can be activated remotely to ensure a pleasant temperature inside the car before the driver sets off.
The BMW Group

2013 SchwabenFolia BMW 1 Series M Coupe ..Yes Auto

Practically being a replacement for the 3 Series Compact, the BMW 1 Series was sent by Munich to the race in 2004, initially as a five-door hatchback, called E87 inplant. From 2007 it was followed by three-door, coupe and convertible. In 2010 the second generation was presented to the public. In May of the same year, the first models (limited quantity of 6,309 vehicles) of the 1 Series M Coupe were delivered to impatiently waiting customers.

Such 1 Series M Coupe in Black Sapphire Metallic originally was chosen by SchwabenFolia company located in Korntal-Münchingen as the object of desire and let it mutate from Irie Green in a conspicuous indeed chameleon. The clean sheet approximate cost is 2,150 euro. In addition, several details and possible extras on specific customers' course are billed separately. Including e.g. uni glossy black roof and original shiny chrome side indicators, which are now also foiled in black, as well as the rim rings with inlays in the body color, the start button with irie green, black BMW emblems, mounted carbon-mirror caps, a rear spoiler are made of the same material as well as the black BMW-reins.

2014 BMW M4 Spy Video ( Yes Auto )

1956 BMW 507

A total of just 254 507's were ever produced. An optional 3.42 gear ratio could raise the top speed to 138 mph. The 507 was designed by German Albrecht Goertz.

2013 G-Power BMW M6 F13

Modifications to the electronic control unite in combination with a high-flow exhaust system made from Titanium are pushing the power output of the G-POWER M6 to 710 hp and 890 Nm

The BMW M6 is already a powerful sports coupé when it is delivered from the factory, thus a large portion of its potential stays unrevealed. G-POWER is using this hidden potential for a power output enhancement of awesome 150 hp and 210 Nm of torque. The G-POWER Bi-Tronik III V2 pushes the factory 560 hp/ 680 Nm to 710 hp/ 890 Nm. 21 inch G-POWER “HURRICANE” alloy wheels with MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport tyres in the dimension 265/30 ZR 21 and 305/25 ZR 21, G-POWER coil-over suspension, Titanium exhaust system and the G-POWER Ceramic Braking System complete the G-POWER package for the BMW M6 F13.
G-POWER M6 F13

• 710 hp / 522 kW at 6.000 - 7.000 rpm (+ 150 hp / 110 kW)
• 890 Nm at 4.800 rpm (+ 210 Nm)
• V-max: >300 km/h
• 0-200 km/h: 10,8s
• G-POWER 21’’ forged wheel set HURRICANE
• G-POWER Titanium exhaust system
• G-POWER coil-over suspension GM6-RS
• G-POWER Ceramic Braking System

The G-POWER program for the BMW M6 F13 touches all key components and lets the nifty BMW M6 appear even more sporty and beautiful and makes it, last but not least, a lot faster. In order to implement this target the G-POWER engineering department has transferred its experience from the area of supercharging to the turbocharged BMW 4.4l V8 engine. After all, the ASA supercharger used for the G-POWER supercharger systems is closely related to the turbochargers featured by BMW, since both units us a centrifugal compressor to build up boost.

The basis for the electronic output increase is the fact that G-POWER, in contrast to the manufacturer, does not use standard software full of compromises but an individual solution for the engine. Among others, the parameters for the amount of fuel and the ignition timing are modified depending on the increased boost level.

However, gone are the days in which the development of an electronic power output increase has been finished at this point. G-POWER has made almost the same invest in time, money and manpower in developing supporting measures to the power output increase itself, with a particular focus on the transmission. Based on the competence and knowledge coming from the up to 800 hp strong BMW M5 HURRICANE versions, G-POWER has managed to limit the torque figures during the shifting process and so reduces the stress for the transmission. This effort shows the difference in quality of the G-POWER electronic power output increase when compared to the competition. Just pushing the output fingers is something many can do; G-POWER is providing a well balanced, high-quality package for the power output increase of the BMW M6.

But not just the ECU management has been modified by G-POWER in order to achieve a power output of 710 hp, the exhaust system has been substantially reworked as well to provide for an output optimized back pressure. The modification of the exhaust system cover catalysts replacement pipes (downpipes) and a G-POWER Titanium exhaust system, incl. Titanium link pipes with resonators starting from the down pipe. In addition to the power output increase the G-POWER Titanium exhaust system gives the BMW M6 a deep, throaty sound that turns heads but is at now time annoying and at the same time saves approx. 12 kg compared to the stock exhaust system. The G-POWER exhaust system is available with four Titanium or Carbon Tailpipes with a diameter of 100 mm each.

In result the G-POWER Bi-Tronik III V2 pushes the BMW M6’s standard output of 560 hp / 680 Nm to an awesome 710 hp and 890 Nm of torque. Naturally the performance figures benefit from this output increase, as well. The figure from stand still to 200 km/h is now just 10,8 seconds and the top speed is more than 300 km/h.

Concerning the suspension at first one will notice the 21 inch G-POWER HURRICANE forged wheels, wrapped with tyres from the G-POWER’s technology partner MICHELIN in the dimensions 265/30 ZR 21 and 305/25 ZR 21. The double spokes, typical for the G-POWER design, highlight the elegant design of the new BMW M6. Further improvement of the road handling is realized through the continuously height-adjustable G-POWER coil-over suspension GM6-RS with nine selectable settings each for bound and rebound.

Of course the negative acceleration is in the focus of G-POWER, as well. Even without output increase, the standard braking system may lose brake force when pushed to the limit, accompanied by a moving braking point, the so called fading effect. The perfect cure against the fading effect is a G-POWER Braking System. With its six brake pistons and 420 mm brake disc diameter for the front axle the G-POWER Braking System enables a substantially higher brake force than the standard braking system. At the same time, the heat generated due to the braking process can be dissipated more effectively. The G-POWER brake package is completed by brake pads with a larger pad area, higher friction rate as well as metal-coated brake lines. With this set-up, the G-POWER Braking System always provides maximum brake force and the braking point remains precise in any case. In addition the G-POWER ceramic braking system reduces the unsprung mass by 50% percent, compared to a system with steel brake discs. Accordingly the cornering and road handling is improved significantly.

The cost for the 21 inch G-POWER HURRICANE complete wheel set incl. MICHELIN Pilot Sport tyres in the dimension 265/30 ZR 21 and 305/25 ZR 21 is 8.325,00 €, the G-POWER coil-over suspension GM6-RS is 2.179,83,00 €, the G-POWER Ceramic braking system for the front axle is 14.460,50 Euro. The output increase with the help of the G-POWER BI-TRONIK III V2 including a G-POWER Titanium exhaust system is 17.895,00 € including the individual adjustment of to the specific customer car.

• Self-confident appearance for the third generation
• Refiners present body kit and design components
• Premiere for super-lightweight sport rim
• First vehicles and parts available in 2014

The third-generation BMW X5 will not be delivered to the dealerships until November. But LUMMA Design has already reinterpreted the luxury SUV. The first to do so worldwide, the vehicle refiners from the Swabian town of Winterlingen present a spectacular conversion kit and a luxurious design program. The program is available for all gasoline and diesel engines with warranty and TÜV approval. The first vehicles and parts will be available from March 2014.
The latest creation from the wide-body experts answers to the name LUMMA CLR X 5 RS, and once again is a real attention-getter. With powerful wheel arch flares that have been provided with air inlets at the rear axle, the sporty newcomer radiates confidence. The front spoiler bumper with its enlarged air inlets and the integrated daytime running lights, which all belong to the LUMMA body kit, reflect the current aggressive design language of the LUMMA designers. The side skirts are custom-made. As if cast from a single mold: The sporty LUMMA hood is designed for hot countries and powerful engines. The large built-in vents not only fulfill a practical purpose, but also give an exclusive look to the new X5. The refiners from Winterlingen have even left their signature on the rear of the vehicle. There, among other things, the rear trim with an integrated diffuser is a real eye-catcher. A rear spoiler lip provides downforce. Individual look for the tail lights: LUMMA Design draws attention with specially placed panels.
For the new X5, the refiners even have the right "footwear" ready. LUMMA Design offers a new super-lightweight sport rim in the size 11x23. It carries the name LUMMA CLR 23 GT, has a matt, racing black finish, and is fitted with decorative strips. The light alloy wheel fits on tires sized 315/25-23 and is perfect for the standard X5 Series. Furthermore, the luxury SUV can be equipped with the classic LUMMA CLR 22. With the rims in 10x22 on 295/30-22 tires mounted on the front axle and 12x22 on 335/25-22 tires in the rear, an imposing appearance is a sure thing. Two designs are available. Customers can choose between elegant black or a silver finish.
Four oval tailpipes characterize the LUMMA sport exhaust, which is available on request with sound flap. Performance upgrades for diesel and gasoline engines and engine optic parts in carbon will follow. These are currently in preparation.
Individualization for the interior: The ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel in leather, Alcantara or carbon, high-quality, velours floor mats edged with leather and embroidered with the LUMMA crest logo as well as aluminum pedals with non-slip rubber studs are already available. If desired, the refiners from Winterlingen will modify the entire interior according to the customer's wishes. Solid color or bicolor, Alcantara, Nappa leather or ostrich leather… Everything is possible and materials can be combined with each other.
All components can be installed in a delivered vehicle. In addition, it is possible to configure a completely new car and order it from LUMMA Design.

2013 BMW Concept M4 Coupe

Pebble Beach/Munich. On 15 August, surrounded by both current and historic BMW models, BMW M tonight offered a first outlook on a high-performance sports car of tomorrow – the BMW Concept M4 Coupe. The car was unveiled at the BMW opening media reception for the iconic annual Pebble Beach/Monterey automobile weekend.
“The BMW Concept M4 Coupe reflects the BMW M philosophy in ideal form: It combines motor racing genes and unrestricted everyday suitability in a highly emotional overall concept. For four generations, the BMW M3 has put motor racing on the road and the BMW Concept M4 Coupe consistently continues to pursue this fundamental idea. The new model designation “M4” refers – like all other BMW M automobiles – to the series on which this concept car is based,” explains Dr. Friedrich Nitschke, President BMW M Division.

THE DESIGN OF THE NEW BMW CONCEPT M4 COUPE.

TheBMW Concept M4 Coupe, finished in the colour “Aurum Dust” exclusively developed for this model, continues with BMW M’s design language – strong in character, emotional and extremely dynamic. From every perspective it is the embodiment of agility, dynamism and superior performance. Large air inlets in the dynamic front, a swift design language in the side and a sporty, low rear give clear visual indication of the car’s tremendous dynamic potential. CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) elements such as the front splitter, the roof, or the rear diffuser underline the optimized lightweight concept down to the smallest detail.
“At BMW M, design is above all an expression of function. Each design element is based on the underlying technical demands of the BMW M high performance concept. Thanks to this authenticity, the design provides a taste of what can be experienced with each model: Power, precise control and superior handling – an unforgettable driving experience on the racetrack as well as on the road” says Adrian van Hooydonk, head of BMW Group Design.

THE FRONT END.

Faceted surfaces, precise contours and distinctive visual depth shape the powerfully expressive front end of the BMW Concept M4 Coupe. The classic “BMW face” with its double kidney and a modern interpretation of the twin round headlamps featuring LED technology provides the car with a distinctive identity, making it recognizable as a BMW M automobile at very first glance. The bonnet with its characteristic power dome symbolises the immense power of the engine that lies beneath it. This dynamic element is further emphasized by a distinctive contour. A further striking feature on the front of the new BMW Concept M4 Coupe is the BMW M double bar kidney grille: The black kidney grille bars imitate the characteristic M double spoke design of the BMW M wheels, the M4 emblem on the kidney grille adding an exclusive accent to the front end.
The powerfully shaped front apron sporting the carbon fibre front splitter immediately catches the eye. The three large air intakes supply the high performance power unit with sufficient cooling air. At the same time, the interplay of surfaces, contours and volume authentically express the car’s supreme potential. The sharply outlined vertical air vents located in the outer section of the side air intakes, the so-called Air Curtain is a design statement of its own. Together with the Air Breather, this feature ensures the aerodynamic closure of the wheel arches and consequently, improved air flow and fuel consumption.

THE SIDE.

Viewed from the side, the dynamic impression conveyed by the front end continues. A streamlined, flat silhouette and an athletic body design characterize the BMW Concept M4 Coupe. Typical BMW proportions – a long bonnet, long wheelbase, set-back greenhouse and a short front overhang – create an exceptionally dynamic appearance even when the car is at a standstill. Muscular wheel arches and the powerfully expressive surface language reveal the BMW Concept M4 Coupe’s supreme performance capabilities at very first glance.
The flowing roofline enhances the BMW Concept M4 Coupe’s sporty design with elegant finesse. As a visible high-tech lightweight element, the contoured CFRP roof characterizes the BMW Concept M4 Coupe’s technically innovative design. The CFRP roof reduces weight and ensures a lower centre of gravity, thus facilitating an even sportier driving experience. Here, form and functionality are optimally combined in typical BMW M fashion.
The coupe-like roofline flows into the muscularly designed rear end, which then adopts the contour of the roof. A rear spoiler lip is integrated into the trunk lid for optimum downforce. Thanks to this feature, the BMW Concept M4 Coupe not only has better downforce values, but when viewed from the side, also gains in volume and length, in athletic presence. Below it, the boldly shaped, muscular sill emphasizes the car’s sportive stance on the road.
A conspicuous detail on the car’s side panels is the redesigned M gill. This characteristic M design element constitutes a both sporty and functional statement. On the Concept M4 Coupe, the M gills incorporate the Air Breather, which together with the Air Curtain within the front apron serves to ventilate the wheel arches and facilitate better airflow values. Exclusively designed, bicoloured 20” M light alloys boasting the typical M double spoke design complete the sportive design of the car’s sides. The five filigree double-spokes rims with polished outer surfaces reveal M Carbon ceramic brakes.

THE REAR.

The muscular rear end of the BMW Concept M4 Coupe gives visual indication of the car’s supreme power. The entire tail section boasts a sculptural and broad appearance. The large shaded areas beneath the spoiler give the rear end an even flatter and athletic appearance. At the same time, the flat taillights located far to the outside, the wide track and the powerfully flared wheel arches underscore the car’s stable stance on the road. Horizontal lines accentuate the car’s width, lowering the visual centre of gravity even further.
Within the tail section of the BMW Concept M4 Coupe, the design feature of the front apron comprising faceted surfaces is formally replicated and continued further. The interplay of surfaces and precise contours around the optical air vents further accentuates the rear end’s dynamic design. Twin tailpipes are a characteristic M feature on the rear end. The two pairs of carbon fibre tailpipes are encompassed by the sculptural rear apron. A carbon fibre rear diffuser completes the overall aerodynamics package.

The BMW M GmbH.

The BMW M GmbH is a one hundred percent subsidiary of the BMW AG. With products and services in the five business areas BMW M Automobiles, BMW M Performance Automobiles, BMW Individual, M Sport Packages and Options, BMW Group Driving Experience as well as security, emergency and special purpose vehicles, it addresses customers with particularly high demands on the performance, exclusivity and individuality of their automobile. The Munich-based company was founded in 1972 as the BMW Motorsport GmbH. Since then, the letter M has been internationally synonymous with success in motor sports and with the fascination of high-performance sports cars for use in everyday road traffic. The BMW M GmbH possesses the status of an independently operating automobile manufacturer. In the business year 2012, the BMW M GmbH achieved worldwide sales of just under 27,000 vehicles.
