Limited Edition Lightweight Coupes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

BMW Will Only Make 750 of the New M240i M Performance Edition

— May 18, 2017 — Autos
The BMW M240i M Performance Edition is a new special edition version of the M240i. Despite sharing a name and looking similar the two cars are actually pretty different. For starters, only 750 M240i M Performance Editions will be made. Also, the new M Performance model is faster than its less-rarer stablemate. The two share the same engine, a turbocharged inline-six, but in the M240i M it makes 340 horsepower, a bump of five ponies.

What really makes the M240i M Performance Edition different from is all of its carbon fiber exterior bits. The mirror caps, side sills, tailpipe trim and decklid spoiler are all made out of carbon fiber. The front bumper, spillter and grille aren't made out of the lightweight material but are a new design. BMW has not announced pricing for its newest limited edition, but expect it to be just a bit cheaper than the $52,500 base price of the top-tier 2 Series, the M2.
Trend Themes
1. Limited Edition Vehicles - The limited production of the M240i M Performance Edition presents an opportunity for automakers to create exclusive and highly sought-after vehicles.
2. Carbon Fiber Exterior - The use of carbon fiber in the M240i M Performance Edition's exterior parts opens up possibilities for the development of lighter and more aerodynamic vehicles.
3. Increased Performance - The upgraded engine in the M240i M Performance Edition showcases the potential for boosting horsepower and enhancing overall performance in future car models.
Industry Implications
1. Automotive Manufacturing - Automotive manufacturers can explore limited edition production and the integration of carbon fiber in vehicle exteriors to offer unique and high-performance options to consumers.
2. Aerospace Engineering - The application of carbon fiber technology in the automotive industry can be adapted and applied to the aerospace sector to create lighter and more fuel-efficient aircraft.
3. Motor Sports - The performance enhancements in the M240i M Performance Edition highlight potential innovations that can be implemented in the motor sports industry, such as racing cars with increased horsepower and improved aerodynamics.
