Alpha N-Performance Upgrades BMW M2 Up To 430 Horses

The BMW M2 checks most of the performance boxes and has plenty of everything to keep the driver enticed, but sometimes, 370PS (365hp) and 465 Nm (343 lb-ft) of torque are just not enough.

Or that's what Alpha-N Performance reckons, as the German tuner uprated the M2's straight-six, twin-scroll turbocharged engine in three steps; to 400 PS/394hp and 580 Nm (428 lb-ft), 415 PS/409hp and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft), and to 430 PS/424hp 620 Nm (457 lb-ft).

The Stage 3 upgrade comes without a top speed governor and includes a racing downpipe without catalytic converters. As optional equipment, Alpha-N Performance offers customers the chance to opt for a free-flow silencer with throttle control for a throaty racecar exhaust note.

To keep it in line with the oomph under the hood, the tuner bedizened the M2 with an aggressive body-kit, which includes a choice of three boot lid mounted spoilers, one of which is an in-house designed, fully adjustable, carbon-fiber rear wing. But if that doesn't get you going, Alpha-N Performance says it'll offer an M4 GTS lookalike rear wing from Edison Composites, or the

Racing-Style M235i Motorsport wing shortly, as well as other M4-style carbon-fiber components.

Completing the visual package is a matching splitter for the front spoiler and a set of OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels in mixed 9.0 and 10.0x19-inch sizes, shod with 245/35ZR19 and

265/35ZR19 tires.

Further improving the vehicle's stability through the bends is a Öhlins fully adjustable Road & Track coilover suspension that lowers the ride height for a more purposeful stance and improved chassis dynamics.
