BMW 2 Series Coupé M Performance parts

Manufacturer initiatives such as BMW’s M Performance range of aftermarket parts could explain why certain segments of the modified car industry are struggling right now. The latest model to be added to the programme is the just-launched 2 Series Coupé.

Components offered for all variants include upgraded brakes, 19” alloy wheels and a sports suspension set-up that features bespoke dampers and lowers the ride height by 20 millimetres. A sportier look can be achieved by fitting side stripes, carbon fibre door mirror caps and a body kit, while an Alcantara and carbon fibre steering wheel, steel pedals and a replacement gear lever are available for the interior.

Among the specific elements is a power kit for the 220d. It lifts output and torque by 16 bhp (12 kW / 16 PS) and 40 Nm (29 lb/ft) respectively, but neither fuel consumption nor emissions are adversely affected. At the other end of the 2 Series line-up, M235i owners will be able to opt for a rear axle mechanical limited-slip differential and a more sonorous exhaust system.

Sales of M Performance parts for the BMW 2 Series Coupé are due to begin during March 2014.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
