Yesterday, Bimmerpost and BMW
Blog spotted order code ZL9 for the 2017 BMW M2 in the U.S. BMW
dealership ordering system. It specifies the 2017 M2 Performance Edition. We
reached out to a spokesman from BMW, who confirmed that this limited edition
package is indeed available to order at this time with an MSRP of $61,695.
The package is limited to 150 units, all painted Alpine
White. The cars all come with black kidney grilles, black side gills, titanium
exhaust tips, illuminated door sills, and LED door projectors with
"Performance Edition" images, all of which are M Performance
Accessories. Black mirror caps are also included.
M Performance Accessories also improve the sound and
handling. A firmer M Performance coilover suspension is tuned for the M2, and
an M Performance exhaust turns up the volume.
Inside, this package subscribes to the less is more
approach. The sport seats are manually adjustable and they lack heating and
lumbar adjustment. The car has keyless entry, but it doesn't have the comfort
access feature that allows you to lock or unlock the vehicle by touching the
door handle with the key still in your pocket. The climate control system is
single zone, and the audio system is a basic hi-fi system instead of a Harman
Kardon unit. The smoker's package is also removed.
Also included is the M Drivers Package, which increases the
top speed from 155 to 168 mph and comes with a one-day High Performance Driving
class courtesy of BMW.
The transmission? Manual only. Cool.
The standard price for a 2017 BMW M2 is $52,695, so the
Performance Edition is a bit pricey. However, the M Performance Accessories can
add up quickly and these cars will likely have collector appeal.
Buyers will not be able to order their Performance Editions
any other way. With only 150 on offer, get your order in soon if you want one.
