The BMW 220i M Sport Shadow Edition has been launched in India today
The enhanced exterior of the BMW 220i M Sport Shadow Edition provides a distinctive visual appeal with the Blacked-Out Kidney Grille. The standout characteristic is its stretched silhouette, four frameless doors and prominent shoulders with side taper at the C-pillar which gives it a sporty, low and broad-set stance. The newly introduced Adaptive LED Headlights ensure consistent illumination of the road ahead, even when cornering.
Despite its sporty appearance, the interior is designed to accentuate cabin spaciousness and the driver-focused cockpit with exquisite materials. The Sport Seats with electrical memory function and generous cabin space offer rear passengers an ample kneeroom for greater long-distance comfort. The exclusive Interior trim ‘Illuminated Berlin’ adds to the overall aesthetic feel. The Carbon Gear Selector elevates the feeling of sportiness inside the cabin.
The car has front-wheel-drive architecture in which the engine is positioned transversely, thereby saving space without compromising on the driving dynamics. To reduce understeering, an ARB technology (actuator contiguous wheel slip limitation system) works in combination with DSC (Driving Stability Control). The BMW Performance Control system increases the stability of the car by targeted braking of the wheels.
The TwinPower Turbo two-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces a power output of 190 hp and a maximum torque of 280 Nm at 1350-4600 rpm. The car accelerates from 0 -100 km /h in just 7.1 seconds. The eight speed steptronic sport automatic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency. For even greater driving pleasure, it comes with steering wheel paddle shifters and cruise control with braking function. Using the Driving Experience Control switch, the driver is able to choose between different driving modes to suit the driving conditions - ECO PRO, Comfort and Sport.
