The #BMW M8 Gran Coupe (combined fuel consumption: 10.7 – 10.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 244 – 240 g/km*) will celebrate its world debut at the LA Convention Center and is the new top model in the range of high-performance vehicles from #BMW M GmbH. The limited special edition #BMW M2 CS (combined fuel consumption: 10.4 – 9.4 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 238 – 214 g/km*), a high-performance sports car designed for the premium compact segment and also suitable for everyday use, is being presented for the first time at a motor show in the USA. At the same time, it forms the basis for the #BMW M2 CS Racing, the future entry model from #BMW M Motorsport. “The #losangeles #auto Show is a very special #Event for the #BMW M GmbH as we will be able to exhibit the whole spectrum and diversity of our #BMW M range, with two vehicles making their debuts. The #BMW M8 Gran Coupe stands for the perfect combination of sportiness and luxurious elegance. The #BMW M2 CS is young, wild, extroverted and conveys sheer sportiness,” says Markus Flasch, CEO of the #BMW M GmbH. At the #losangeles #auto Show, the latest versions of the Sports Activity Vehicles #BMW X5 M / X5 M Competition (combined fuel consumption: 13.0 – 12.8 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 296 – 291 g/km*) and the Sports Activity Coupes #BMW X6 M / X6 M Competition (combined fuel consumption: 12.7 – 12.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 289 – 284 g/km*) will also be on display, each of them being the sportiest models in their respective vehicle segments.

The #BMW M8 Gran Coupe is an individual, exclusive and luxurious sports car with distinctive high-performance characteristics and delivers an intensive performance experience on all four fully-fledged seats. Its 4.4-litre V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo Technology delivers 441 kW/600 hp, in the #BMW M8 Competition Gran Coupe (combined fuel consumption: 10.7 – 10.5 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 244 – 240 g/km*) 460 kW/625 hp. The #BMW M2 CS features numerous carbon components – for example the CFRP roof being used for the first time on the #BMW M2 – an extremey sporty design, a twin-charged, six-cylinder engine with 331 kW (450 hp) and the adaptive M Sport suspension.

The #BMW M2 CS is the first CS model from #BMW available with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 /4.0 seconds with the optional 7-speed M dual clutch transmission (M DCT) is equally as impressive as the braking performance of the standard M sports brakes or the optionally available #BMW M carbon ceramic brakes.
