"Revealed less than two weeks ago, the BMW M2 Coupe is already in the attention of Alpha-N Performance aftermarket specialist.

It will be a while until deliveries of the first ever M2 will start, but that hasn?t stopped this tuner from providing a sneak preview of their M2-RS upgrade package which will take the 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo engine from the series 370 PS (272 kW) to 480 PS (353 kW) by implementing a chip-tuning box and also a water injection system.

The massive power bump will have a significant impact on the car?s performances, so the 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) sprint will take a lot less than the 4.5 seconds needed by the standard M2 fitted with the six-speed manual gearbox (4.3s with the seven-speed DCT). BMW installs a 155 mph (250 km/h) electronic speed limiter, but maybe Alpha-N Performance is willing to remove that to unlock the car?s full potential.

Besides the healthy power boost, the M2 can get an adjustable coilover suspension and a more aerodynamic body kit made from carbon fiber which among others includes a four-position adjustable rear wing. To cut weight as much as possible, the tuner says they are working on a carbon fiber roof while a Clubsport version is also planned with lightweight race seats , half or full roll cage as well as lightweight 19-inch OZ Superforgiata wheels wrapped around in 245/35R19 front and 265/35R19 rear tires."

Here you go..carbon fiber roof...also who doesnt like the fangs heres an alternative. Power boost seems pretty good too.

Edit: there are other pics in the source site but i dont know how to edit the post with them.

I agree about the fangs. Maybe the bottom part can get a CF overlay into the splitter but this render with the painted top fangs makes the car look like a modded civic.

A Lot of people will dig the CF roof so long as it's not too expensive and the power boast is crazy with water injection. Makes you wonder what BMW has planned for the CSL. But with that much power you will need to also upgrade the brakes.

I wouldn't worry about upgrading the brakes with that much power. I'd be more concerned with the driveline components and the skinny 265 section tires.

The car comes from the factory with 15" cross drilled rotors front. That's more than enough power if the tire can provide the grip.

Fangs are the centerpiece of the design. Blacking them out looks absolutely horrible.

Jeez, no one outside BMW has touched the M2 and we've got tuning companies already telling us how they're gonna modify the engine to almost 500hp? LOL.

If they claim they can easily obtain more than 470 bhp out of that car I'm guessing 1) the turbo is bigger than the regular one from N55. Also I'm wondering if that figure is only with the tune or with the tune plus water injection, intake (most likely) some e85 mix and downpipe. Either way if its a flash tune I'm sold.

According to the first post its an add on box tune (piggy back)- not a flash tune. Also the first post says its with water injection. I don't think they said they can do it easily. But I agree, it seems like the Turbo must be bigger than the m235i Turbo to be able to get an extra 100HP. Based on what the tuners are getting, it seems like the M235i turbo is good for about additional 4 to 6 lbs of boost over what the M235i has.
