Base MSRP of $68,900
BMW Canada announced today that the spectacular and much anticipated BMW M Coupé will arrive at Canadian retailers in June of 2006, with a base MSRP of $ 68,900.
Additionally, the M Coupé will offer an optional Premium Package (Power Fold Mirrors, Auto Dimming Mirrors, Electric Seats with Driver Memory, HiFi Sound System with DSP) with an MSRP of $2,700 and optional Navigation Package (On-Board Navigation and Navigation DVD) with an MSRP of $2,900.
Powered by the same award-winning 3.2 litre double-VANOS inline six-cylinder M engine as its Roadster and M3 siblings, commanding 330 horsepower at 7900 rpm and 262 ft-lb of torque - 80% of which is available from just 2,000 rpm, the M Coupé will be capable of scintillating sprints to 100 km/h in an effortless 5.0 seconds.
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.
