BMW has revealed details
about new M Performance parts for
its new 4 Series Coupe. The 4 Series
is of course based on the current 3 Series, expect it only has two doors. It will be available in Mzansi either
later this year or early 2014. M
Performance has given it a bit more vuma, externally and internally.
Starting with the externals. Looks are quite important to
the 4 Series potential customer and therefore body kit is added at whim. Such items
included are carbon fibre bits on
the splitter and air ducts, side mirrors
and the boot spoiler. Fitted within
the tyres are 20-inch wheels, which
is bigger than the standard. A sort of black
chrome material is used around the front grille, windows and tailpipes.
What caught our eye inside is the three-spoke sports steering wheel with some really cool red
markings at the top. From where we are sitting, these look like LED lights that light up to match the
revs. Other stuff includes the usual Alcantara
finishes, with carbon fibre littered
across the place as well.
BMW also gave the cars a limited slip differential (LSD) to assist with getting the thing
off the line quicker, as well as improving handling. What’s underneath the
engine bay? Power boosts of course. The 420d
is now up to 147kW and 420Nm of torque. The 428i goes from 180kW to 200kW, and
torque is also increased to 390Nm. Lastly
the 435i will be good for 250kW and 450Nm of torque.
