BMW Korea launches X2 M35i xDrive with '317bhp'

BMW Korea officially launches the new X2 M35i xDrive, a high-performance premium compact SAC that delivers BMW M's distinctive design, powerful performance and enhanced digital experience. It is priced at 74.4 million won.

The X2 M35i xDrive is the high-performance model in the X2 line-up, featuring exclusive BMW M design cues on the exterior and interior to further emphasise its sporty flair and enhance its powerful performance and dynamic driving feel.

M-specific design elements on the exterior and interior combine with the elongated coupé silhouette to create a sporty appeal. At the front, the M Performance kidney grille and radiator grille illumination with BMW Iconic Glow give the high-performance model a strong presence.

The roofline, which flows seamlessly from the side to the rear, clearly demonstrates the sleek styling of the BMW SAC and is enhanced by 20-inch M alloy two-tone wheels, M sports brakes, M side mirror caps, M exclusive quad tailpipes and M rear spoiler.

The BMW M motorsport flair is also reflected in the interior. The M Sport leather steering wheel and two-tone coloured sports seats further emphasise the sporty feel of the BMW M.

Under the bonnet is a in-line 4-cylinder 2.0L petrol turbocharged engine with a maximum power output of 317 hp and maximum torque of 40.8 kg-m, mated to a 7-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, accelerating from 0-62 mph in 5.4 seconds. It is also equipped as standard with Adaptive M Suspension, which adjusts the damping force of the dampers according to the driving situation, ensuring optimum driving performance in a variety of driving conditions.

Key options include Driving Assistant Professional, Park Assist Plus and BMW Digital Key, as well as advanced features such as the Head-Up Display, Harman Kardon sound system and panoramic glass roof, all of which come as standard for a safer and more comfortable drive.

In addition, the latest operating system, BMW Operating System (OS) 9, has been applied. TMAP-based BMW Navigation for Korea comes as standard, providing real-time updates on all map information, including the latest traffic conditions, for optimal route guidance. In addition, the newly launched BMW Digital Premium offers a wide range of domestic and international entertainment apps, including games, videos, music and more, to provide a comprehensive digital experience.
