The M is powered by a tuned 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine that produces 330 horsepower, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. A sport suspension and limited slip differential provide dynamic handling characteristics, while the exterior design is made more aggressive with a M-spec front bumper and exclusive 18-inch wheels. In the cockpit, M Sport seats are upholstered in rich leather, and have pronounced side bolsters to provide excellent lateral support during spirited driving. The BMW M coupe is a carryover from 2007.
