Like any automaker worth its lug-nuts, BMW is constantly striving to improve its products. And so it has announced a series of upgrades for the summer – none of them revolutionary, but a couple of them notable.
For one, the Bavarian automaker has announced that is is offering xDrive traction on the M235i coupe, a model that has been available until now only in rear-drive configuration. The all-wheel drive version comes with the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 326 horsepower (320 in the US market) and eight-speed automatic transmission as the rear-drive version, but now channels that power to all four wheels for a 0-62 time quoted at 4.6 seconds – two little ticks quicker than the existing version. It's the first time that all-wheel drive is being offered on the 2 Series, and will also be fitted on the convertible – at least, that is, in Europe. We're waiting on confirmation of North American availability.
Among the other announcements is a special edition of BMW's flagship luxury sedan. The 7 Series
Exclusive Edition upgrades with metallic paint, 19-inch V-spoke alloys,
Nappa leather upholstery and a leather-trimmed instrument panel. Buyers
will also be able to opt for the Merino fine grain leather and
Alcantara roof lining from the BMW Individual catalog, and choose
between any available engine or either wheelbase lengths.BMW is also offering broader range of powertrain choices on a variety of models and new options in the BMW Individual catalog.
