A Swiss tuner believes it has created the “ultimate” BMW M2 Coupé, largely thanks to the uprated M4 engine tucked under the bonnet.
Dähler Design & Technik GmbH says it has tuned the M4-sourced 3,0-litre inline six-cylinder S55 engine dropped into the M2 to deliver a stonking 397 kW and 730 N.m (as opposed to the 272 kW and 465 N.m in the standard M2 and the 317 kW and 550 N.m in the standard M4).
That’s enough for a claimed sprint to 100 km/h in less than four seconds, with a top speed of 320 km/h.
Of course, the upgrades extend to other parts of the baby M car, too. Dähler installed a performance coil-over suspension system and updated the braking system with hefty 400 mm discs. A stainless steel exhaust system is also part of the package.
Styling changes, however, are subtle. In fact, other than the modest front spoiler lip, alloys wheels and some decals, there’s little to set the Dähler M2 apart from the standard model (although, if you insist, the company says it will add a rear wing).
