These are 50% lighter Intelligent lightweight construction increases dynamics than steel and 30% lighter than aluminium. and improves the specific power-to-weight ratio – an absolute must for sporty vehicles. This is why we also offer BMW M Performance Parts in carbon. The innovative BMW i and BMW M brands already offer models with chassis constructed largely in carbon. Notably, the carbon fibre itself is manufactured and processed in our own production facilities, enabling the continuous build-up of BMW know-how and quality. For many BMW M Performance Parts, lightweight carbon fibre is also an absolute essential – whether for components that optimise aerodynamics or for our classic motor sport interior detailing. 4 THE HEART BEATS FASTER.

At the same time, what’s happening under the skin needs to comply with all legal requirements. Within this framework, and to be sure of the most effective results, our engineers explore the science of psychoacoustics. This leads to even more emotionally rousing sound patterns, exploited to the full within the legal boundaries. GOOSEBUMPS And given the commitment that goes in to developing optimum sound, it’s only logical that BMW M Performance exhaust systems are made FOR THE EARS. of particularly durable materials.
