The BMW X2 M35i peformance flagship is now on sale in South Africa. Here's what you can expect... IOLMotoring
Johannesburg - The performance version of BMW’s X2 crossover is now on sale in South Africa and you can make it yours for R809 100.
And that’s already the case for this high-riding BMW hatch, the X2 M35i producing 225kW between 5000 and 6250rpm, and 450Nm from 1750. That’s enough, in the kingdom of manufacturer claims, to get you from zero to 100km/h in 4.9 seconds - providing you’ve activated Launch Control. Power goes to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox and xDrive all-wheel-drive system, while model-specific M Sport suspension, steering and braking systems ensure the necessary corner-carving agility and stopping power. Another ULK platform first is the M Sport Differential installed in the front axle gear to reduce traction losses on the front wheels.
The bigger wheels also match the Cerium Grey colour scheme that applies to the kidney grille, side air intakes, mirror caps and tail pipes. As a final garnish, the flagship also comes with an M rear spoiler.
