M Performance Parts for the M2 Competition

BMW has introduced a range of M Performance Parts for the recently-launched 404 bhp (302 kW / 410 PS) M2 Competition.

These retrofit items allow a customer to alter their car’s handling, aerodynamics and appearance. Power upgrades for the 3.0 litre, turbocharged, six-cylinder engine aren’t being offered, though.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives
