Sportiness coupled with a polarising appearance - based on this formula, the new BMW X2 has inspired above all a young and modern target group following its premiere in March 2018. With its extroverted design, the BMW X2 interprets the character of a premium Sports Activity Coupe in an entirely new way within the compact segment.
BMW is now presenting the new top model of the X2 series. The wide BMW double kidney grille of new BMW X2 M35i, features a surround in Cerium Grey for visual differentiation at first glance. Likewise, the surrounds of the air cooling inlets and the exterior mirror caps are finished in Cerium Grey.
The rear of the X2 M35i is characterised by the standard M rear spoiler and two specially designed exhaust tailpipes, which also come in Cerium Grey.
The new BMW X2 M35i features a 297bhp four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, which sets new benchmarks above the previous versions. The 2.0-litre TwinPower Turbo engine concealed under an M Performance cover is the very first M Performance four-cylinder engine and at the same time BMW's most powerful version. Maximum torque is an extremely powerful 450Nm.
The X2 M35i comes as standard with intelligent four-wheel drive xDrive technology, in conjunction with the eight-speed Steptronic transmission including launch control. Equipped in this way, the BMW X2 M35i is able to accelerate from 0-100km/h in just 4.9 seconds. The necessary thermal stability of the engine is now ensured by a redesigned cooling system.
Steering and suspension have also both been adapted to match the performance of the drive system. Thanks to a special setup, the M sports steering conveys to the driver an impressively direct and precise steering feel. The car also features an M Sport suspension system that has been specifically tuned and adapted to match the car's sporty character.
An adaptive suspension setup offering two different manually adjustable modes is optionally available. A particularly special technical highlight is the M Sport Differential installed in the front axle gear. During highly dynamic driving manoeuvres, this locking differential most effectively reduces possible traction losses on the front wheels. An exceptionally sporty look also dominates the interior. The X2 M35i features as standard an M Sport leather steering wheel with shift paddles and door entry trims at the front bearing the lettering M35i. The optional M sports seats at the front are a novelty. They offer not only perfect lateral support for both driver and front passenger in sharp bends, but also the highest level of comfort and safety through integrated headrests. The M sports seats are available in the following three different designs, and matching seatbelts in an M design are also on offer.
