A short-ratio 6 speed manual gearbox, M differential lock, massive compound cross-drilled disc brakes measuring 345mm in the front and 328mm in the rear and 18-inch M double-spoke alloy wheels mated with high-performance Z-rated tires complete the M Coupé performance profile ensuring outstanding handling and braking capacity to match the exhilarating performance of the M thoroughbred engine.

In addition to its unique and distinctive profile, the M Coupé platform also boasts a significant functional advantage in terms of chassis stiffness with an unprecedented torsional stiffness of 32,000 Nm per degree, setting a new record in its segment and contributing not only to optimal handling dynamics but an exceptional level of passive safety.

The interior of the M Coupé reflects both the sporting and luxurious aspects of all M products, with M Sport seats featuring specially contoured side bolsters and finished in luxurious Nappa leather, an M multifunction leather sport steering wheel, an illuminated M short throw gear lever and the exclusive M feature of temperature-variable illuminated tachometer.

The M Coupé joins the strongest M model lineup in BMW history, now totaling 6 models.
