Tuner LIGHTWEIGHT says goodbye to the BMW M2 of the F87 model series (2015-2020) with a Final edition and shows once again that the core competence is no longer to be found only in the area of exhaust systems for BMW vehicles. The F87 M2 has obviously done the tuner from Sinn-Fleisbach. Already in 2015 it was clear that the tuner based in Hessen would take off with the little /// M from Munich. Marc Müller as managing director of LIGHTWEIGHT Performance always has one goal in mind: "Fast BMWs come from Sinn-Fleisbach". This has been proven repeatedly and regularly. At the end of a comparison test you could always read: The M2 from LIGHTWEIGHT was the fastest!
LIGHTWEIGHT Final Edition
The ideas never ran out and they started one in 2016 M2 with S55 engine equip; long before BMW. The result bears 3 letters: CSR (Carbon Sport Race) 1371 kilograms (almost 200 kg lighter than the series) and a revised one M4 GTS drive unit with water injection lift the fired body - through a power reduction - yes, you read that right - the coupe on 598 PS and 737 NM into dynamic driving spheres that nobody expected. A trade magazine even joked that the abbreviation "CSR" also means "Crazy Super Rowdy“Could mean.
When building the CSR, the tuner got to know practically every screw of the M2, which of course absolutely paid off for the M2 and the M2 Competition. The DNA of the M2 has been cracked and rewritten by LIGHTWEIGHT. A number of products that contribute to the optimization of the "F87" have sprung up and have been with TÜV certificate provided so that every driver of the model series can benefit from it.
Since then, the LIGHTWEIGHT components have been developed in the new company headquarters built in 2018 with the "state of the art" factor, shipped worldwide and of course also installed. And not only the small coupes are taken into account.
Final edition. What does that mean?
Due to stricter emission regulations in Europe, it means "off" for the compact rocket F87. One more reason for LIGHTWEIGHT to build a very special edition. Once again the team from Hessen proves what it is capable of getting on its feet or on its wheels. Not in racing trim, but as noble Sleeper.
And it looks like this: The LIGHTWEIGHT Finale Edition is based on one BMW M2 Competition from 09/2020 in the highest LIGHTWEIGHT expansion stage with 741 PS and 880 Nm. This has been done by numerous Hardware changes Reached on the engine side and flows into the HJS 2 × 200 cell downpipe In the beautiful shape and sound that perfectly matches the M2 Competition LIGHTWEIGHT exhaust system from Otto particle filter with the distinctive 3-damper technology. The Titan 7 forged wheels, for which the LIGHTWEIGHT company is currently applying for an expert opinion, in the dimensions 9,5 × 19 ET 27 and 10,5 × 19 ET 44, with tires Michelin tires are therefore powerfully challenged.
Through the developed together with the cooperation partner Eibach Pro Street Multi chassis, that in the installed state in tension and compression without removing cladding and without If the lift is adjustable, it is possible to convert the driving performance into performance. In the setup, suitability for everyday use and drivability are the top priorities. It perfectly covers the needs of the daily driver and track day visitors. That one too BMW M Performance braking system was built in, is of course. This was given a LIGHTWEIGHT Brake cooling kit and Stahlflex brake lines extended.
Carbon, carbon, carbon on the exterior
In contrast, the design of the vehicle's exterior is subtle. A Roof made of carbon, Fenders made of carbon, a Hood made of carbon in the GTS look and a newly designed 3-piece Carbon front spoiler as well as a BMW CS rear spoiler , and a Carbon diffuser are only noticeable with the Black Beauty when you take a closer look. This car wants to convince with inner values; very modest as it is the team from Hessen.
the cabin has also undergone extensive changes
And there we are already with the interior - or rather: interior dream! 4 single seats! based on BMW standard seats and consisting of CS components in the finest leather and Alcantara. The M4 logo lights up in all 2 seats and ensures a feeling of well-being Seat heating also in the back. The Alcantara goes perfectly with the BMW M2 CS steering wheelgarnished with blue M1 and M2 buttons. So there is some color to the otherwise cool interior of the with a lot carbon fiber (Door panels, moldings and a complete center console) waits.
Since this is a manual switch, the company CAE, which provided the shortshifter delivers, a cross at "shift knob anoxat BLUE“Made. The pedals was also anodized blue. One is in sense - Fleisbach sure that one or the other detail of the renovation animate. This is also a slogan that one lives: Realize customer dreams. The FINALE EDITION is for the LIGHTWEIGHT team not the end the F87 series.
On the contrary; they are already looking forward to the next few years in which they can convert the small coupé faster, better and more individually and are talking about the M2 Competence Center in Sinn - Fleisbach. After the many modifications and the countless F87 hours in the LIGHTWEIGHT appointment calendar, who is surprised.
