BMW M2 CS: HIGHLIGHTS.
BMW M240i COUPÉ.
Design and driving dynamics of the BMW M240i Coupé.
The sporty character of the BMW M240i Coupé is characterised by highly developed drive train and chassis components as well as striking M specific design features in the exterior and interior – for strong performance and an even stronger appearance.
- Driving Dynamics
- Design
M TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder petrol engine.
Six cylinders, 3.0-litre capacity. Unique agility and high everyday utility. United in one drive system that clearly shows its exceptionally sporty DNA. The M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine inspires with spontaneous response and high torque even at low engine speeds. The result is a maximum torque of 500 Nm and an acceleration that will steal your breath away. The characteristic sound of the BMW M240i Coupé also acoustically underlines the exceptional talent of its power unit.
M Sport suspension.
The M Sport suspension is characterised by sport suspension settings, and on cars with rear-wheel drive, it includes a chassis lowered by around 10 millimetres. It features shorter suspension springs and tighter damper settings, as well as harder stabilisers. Together these result in even more direct settings that facilitate a particularly dynamic driving style.
Variable sport steering.
The Variable sport steering with Servotronic creates a direct and agile steering response and ensures less physical effort is required to turn the wheel. It reacts to the angle of the steering wheel with varying steering ratios. This improves handling when driving more dynamically and reduces the effort needed to steer when parking and turning.
BMW xDrive*.
The intelligent BMW all-wheel drive system xDrive* distributes the propulsive force smoothly and variably to the front and rear wheels – for a bonus in traction, driving dynamics and safety in all situations. To further improve agility, this electronically controlled power distribution also counteracts any understeering and oversteering when cornering. * BMW xDrive is optionally available.
Steptronic Sport transmission.
The 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission permits very sporty gear shifts. Both as an automatic version as well as manually by selector lever or shift paddles – for comfortable cruising or a very dynamic driving style. In SPORT Mode and with the selector lever in the left-hand shift gate S/M, the gearshift sequences are designed for maximum performance.
M Aerodynamics package.
The M Aerodynamics package underscores the vehicle's athleticism and modifies its airflow. The package includes a front apron with larger air inlets, special side skirts and a rear apron with a diffuser insert. The tailpipes are chrome.
M specific design elements in the interior.
Exclusive M specific design elements in the BMW M240i Coupé bring together a sporty atmosphere and exceptional style. The ultra-modern instrument panel bears a digital model designation and offers an optimum overview of all relevant driving information.
Sport seats.
Take a seat and take off: like every other detail of the interior, the ergonomically shaped sport seats with M model stitching stand for the aspiration to achieve supreme performance while offering the driver maximum seating comfort. The upholstered M knee pads perfect the level of comfort – on long journeys, in particular, they optimise the position of the driver’s legs.
Door sill finishers with M240i designation.
An unbeatable first impression: as you enter, the evocative door sill finishers with model designation set fascinating accents and leave no doubt as to which league you are travelling in.
BMW 2 SERIES COUPÉ M AUTOMOBILES: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES.
Driver assistance and connectivity.
The BMW 2 Series Coupé M Automobiles not only score with their exceptional performance. They also offer a wide range of smart driver assistance systems, connectivity features and digital services.
Driving Assistant.
Driving Assistant combines the Lane Departure Warning and approach control warning systems. When travelling at speeds between 10 and 60 km/h, the approach control and person warning with city braking function issues a warning if there is a risk of collision with vehicles or pedestrians, and brakes the vehicle in the event of an emergency. At speeds above approx. 70 km/h, the Lane Departure Warning draws the driver's attention to an unintentional lane change by means of slight vibrations of the steering wheel.
Concierge Service.
Concierge Service puts the driver through to a BMW Call Centre employee at the touch of a button. The employee can locate a particular restaurant, the closest cash dispenser or an emergency pharmacy and send the address details directly to the car's BMW navigation system.
Real Time Traffic Information.
Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) collects current traffic information about motorways, main and country roads and the most important urban routes. It relays information about delays and dangers almost instantly. The best alternative routes are suggested accordingly. On-Street Parking Information is included, making the parking space search more efficient.
Preparation for Apple CarPlay®.
Why go without the features of your iPhone in your BMW when you can continue operating it as usual? The Preparation for Apple CarPlay® gives you remote access to telephony as well as apps like iMessage, WhatsApp, TuneIn, Spotify and Apple Music. You can also use the voice button on the steering wheel to access Siri, Apple’s voice assistant.
FUEL CONSUMPTION AND CO2 EMISSIONS.
BMW M240i Coupé:
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 7.1
CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 163BMW M2 Competition:
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 9.8 [9.1]
CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 223 [207]BMW M2 CS(2):
Fuel consumption in l/100 km (combined): 10.2 [9.4]
CO2 emissions in g/km (combined): 233 [214]
The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification.
When charging times are shown they can be affected by a number of factors such as type of charger, voltage supplied to the charger/car and type of current (AC or DC) supplied to the charger/car. The car also plays a role in charging times as it can be set by the driver to accept various different amperage and should preconditioning be used to heat or cool the vehicle while charging this will also affect the charging time.
The basis for the calculation of the charging times for 100 km range is the electric consumption of the vehicle based on the use of a high-Powered Charging station (HPC) or charging type and current as indicted in the literature above. The testing procedure measures are based on a 23 degrees Celsius battery start and ambient temperature with certification values excluding additional auxiliary consuming devices and systems within the vehicle such as seat heating, displays, air conditioning.
Individual consumption (fuel economy) may differ due to driving profile, vehicle load profile, auxiliary consumer usage, temperature, and ambient conditions. Consumption is based on WLTP or NEDC (whichever is indicated) best case conditions and is independently tested for BMW Group. If you are comparing this range with other models or brands make sure they are stating the same WLTP or NEDC testing regime. These results can be used to compare vehicles on a close to “like for like” basis but are unlikely to be achieved in real world conditions for reasons including temperature variation, driving conditions and the use of the auxiliary systems referred to above.

Note: To obtain NZ CO2 figures for vehicles imported by BMW Group NZ in relation to the NZ Clean Car discount or “FeeBate” you will need to contact your preferred dealer. The Clean Car discount figures sourced from your dealer will differ from those listed in the BMW owner’s handbook and reported figures as they have been converted by the NZ government to WLTP3 from figures derived through one of the following testing procedures: WLTP4 or NEDC or Japanese JC08 mode or Japanese 10-15 mode or CAFE test cycle.
For all vehicles not imported by BMW NZ (Used vehicle imports) you will need to contact the source market for these CO2 figures as BMW Group NZ has no access to and cannot source this CO2 data.
