BMW M240i (G42) with first tuning from dÄHLer!

The Swiss Dähler Design & Technik GmbH has tackled the latest sports coupe from BMW. Specifically, we're talking about the brand new one BMW 2er of the generation G42. And here the choice fell on the (preliminary) Top version in the form of M240i xDrive. Luckily, he enjoys a three-liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder (BMW B58). 374 PS & 500 Nm and is not like that M135i, softened with a four-cylinder. In addition, BMW combines the sporty coupe with the well-known ZF eight-speed automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive. And the dÄHLer Competition Line is now increasing, in particular the sporty qualities of the M240i, with a recently introduced Tuning Program. Above all, the tuner provides a performance increase of the B58B30TÜ1 engine for significantly more power. And you had the advantage of being able to fall back on existing experience. Because the engine is also installed in the M440i or the M340i, among others. And dÄHLer has them already modified.

430 PS and 610 Nm torque

Through Stage 1 increase in performance "Powered by dÄHLer" strengthens the M240i 430 PS & 610 Nm torque and is therefore significantly stronger than the top model of the "old" 2 series, the M2 Competition with 410 PS & 550 NM. Even from the ultra sporty M2 CS with 450 PS & 550 NM you are not really far away. This also leads to the conclusion that an M2 (G87) tuned by dÄHLer should easily reach the range of 500 to 550 hp. Yes, back to the G42. The performance increase meets the guidelines of the Euro 6d emissions standard according to WLTP, is EU/CH homologated and also comes with an additional guarantee. And if that's not enough for you, you can open Stage 2 happy, included Increase in the Vmax limit. The setup is currently still in preparation, but it is already known that 455 PS & 640 Nm should be feasible.

100 mm twin tailpipes

If desired, the M240i announces itself acoustically with one Stainless steel exhaust system «built by dÄHLer», which causes a stir with ceramic-coated 100 millimeter twin tailpipes at the rear. It is of course suitable for vehicles with Otto particle filters (OPF) and can be rounded off with a CAN bus-controlled Exhaust flap control be combined. And one too Eventuri intake is already available for the M240i xDrive. Both components are WLTP-Euro6d-tested and EU/CH-homologated and for individual or combined application - of course also in combination with the dÄHLer performance increase - registrable. And something can even be done in terms of lateral dynamics if desired. About by means Lowering springs "built by dÄHLer" for a subtle lowering, or if you want even more, with a fully adjustable rebound and compression stage Competition coilover kit “built by dÄHLer”.

Forged Wheels, Carbon Parts & Co.

And then there's the optics! The tuner ensures a sporty appearance by means of CDC1 alloy wheels, which are available either as a cast wheel or in a FORGED variant and in the dimensions 9×20 and 10×20 inches, with a matching Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires in the format 235/35 ZR20 and 275/30 ZR20 consistently fill out the wheel arches. And last but not least there is already one Front spoiler in preparation and in general further components are to follow. We are excited!
