"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." Source: worldcarfans 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. |

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.

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.
