You can't have your cake and eat it too, but BMW seems to have missed the memo. The German luxury marque is well known for both its sports cars and superbikes, but now it has decided to bring the two together in limited edition fashion.
The company's car and motorcycle arms have teamed up to unveil special edition variants of the M2 Coupe and the S 1000 RR/M 1000 RR, exclusively for South Africa.
BMW M2 Coupe RR Edition:
The BMW M2 Coupe RR Edition features a Black Sapphire Metallic finish with contrasting red accents throughout. The BMW M2 Coupe RR Edition is draped exclusively in Black Sapphire Metallic with red accents and comes standard with the M Performance suspension that lowers overall ride height by 20 mm. Furthermore, the car comes riding on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Jet Black alloys.
The rear profile gets a revised diffuser and wing, adding visual aggression and aerodynamic intent The front fascia features a new splitter with a sporty red stripe, while the rear end puts on a beefier diffuser for more heft. While the silhouette largely remains unchanged, BMW has fitted on a subtle roof spoiler as well as a new rear wing, the latter also receiving a red insert.
The M2 Coupe RR further puts on an Akrapovic exhaust to hear the twin-turbo inline-six even better. Stepping inside reveals exclusive dual-tone black sport seats with red bolsters and contrast stitching, as well as a sunroof. The car will be limited to just 10 units, of which 5 will be sold exclusively with the 6-speed manual gearbox.
