• Customary BMW M dynamic prowess, agility and precision enter a new dimension.



• Performance-oriented vehicle concept with minimised weight, low centre of gravity, even weight distribution, optimum wheelbase and wide tracks.



• M-specific optimisations further increase already high levels of rigidity in the body structure, chassis components and chassis mounting.



• M-specific suspension delivers exceptional directional stability, steering precision and cornering dynamics.



• High-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology produces north of 440 kW/600 hp. Fully variable transfer of power via M xDrive all-wheel-drive system with rear-wheel bias and 2WD mode.
