Up-close with the one and only heavily modified BMW M2 in Saigon

In the article is one of the three BMW M2 vehicles currently in Vietnam, and it is the only one in Saigon. Despite the original black tone of the car, the upgrades have transformed it into the most outstanding M2 in the country.

The tuning version was done by Phiphi Performance, a specialized BMW tuning garage in Saigon. Firstly, the tuning company used the M2 Competition front bumper instead of the original front bumper, combined with a carbon lip, which reduces weight and adds aesthetics and sportiness to the car.

Although the air vents are small details, they are also made of carbon, contributing to the overall harmony of the car. In addition, the headlights are upgraded to LCI LED lights, which are often used in BMW’s premium models.

The vehicle is equipped with dual-spoke BBS wheels, paired with 4-piston brakes and yellow Brembo brake discs, making it stand out.

The original side mirrors of this M2 have been replaced with carbon M4 mirrors, which are integrated with blind spot warning cameras. Carbon side skirts are also added to enhance the aesthetics and aerodynamics of the car.

Notably, the carbon shark fin antenna on the roof not only enhances the visual appeal of the car but also significantly reduces weight, resulting in higher performance.

At the rear, the car is equipped with Fi Exhaust exhaust pipes with on/off valves, which greatly enhances the sound of the M2 compared to the stock version. The car also features a high-performance carbon rear wing from the new generation of M Performance for the BMW M4. This detail not only adds aesthetics but also provides downforce, improving stability at high speeds. Similarly to the front lights, the taillights are also upgraded to LCI LED lights.

The tuning company did not mention the drivetrain, but it’s highly likely that the BMW M2 still uses the original 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine with turbocharging, producing 365 horsepower and 465 Nm of torque. With that power, the BMW M2 can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.3 seconds (only 0.2 seconds slower than the BMW M4) and achieve a top speed of 250 km/h.
