BMW M Performance Automobiles arrives in Singapore.

Munich Automobiles appointed as local authorised dealer.

Debut of the World’s Most Powerful Six-Cylinder Diesel Engine.

Singapore. BMW Asia has announced that the soon-to-be launched BMW M Performance Automobiles model range will be retailing at Munich Automobiles Pte Ltd, which is also the world’s first dedicated BMW M dealer.

The BMW M Performance Automobiles, as the new BMW M GmbH product range, offers customers more ways to experience Sheer Driving Pleasure with an even sharper sporting edge. Packed with exceptionally powerful engines, enhanced agility and precise handling, the BMW M Performance Automobiles further offers emotion-laden design and unrestricted everyday practicality via its impressive fuel efficiency at the same time.

All models of the BMW M Performance Automobiles are based on current BMW models, which have undergone carefully targeted technical and design modifications by the vastly experienced team at BMW M GmbH.

“The premiere of the BMW M Performance Automobiles heralds the creation of a new category of performance vehicles, one which marks out the sporting potential of the latest BMW models in particularly vivid style,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia.

“The BMW M Performance Automobiles will be making its Singapore debut via Munich Automobiles with the BMW X5 M50d and BMW X6 M50d, which will both be featuring ‘the world’s most powerful six-cylinder in-line diesel engine’. This is a newly developed six-cylinder in-line diesel engine with M Performance TwinPower Turbo with three turbochargers that is capable of delivering a maximum output of 381 hp and a peak torque of up to 740 Nm in a split second.”

Building on a fine tradition.

The origins of BMW M GmbH lie in the development and production of racing cars, which wasted no time in achieving head-turning success – notably in touring car competition. The clear sporting potential that filtered down into standard road-going BMW models whetted many customers’ appetites for extra power. Just a few years after BMW Motorsport GmbH was founded, in 1972, the first BMW 5 Series models gained the necessary engine, power transfer and chassis modifications to respond to those owners’ wishes.

Then, in 1980, a new model was added to the BMW 5 Series range; the BMW M535i was powered by a 3.5-litre straight-six engine developing 218 hp and only previously available for the BMW 6 Series and BMW 7 Series. To make the most of its significant power advantage, this model also came in for precisely judged modifications to its chassis, brakes, gearbox and rear differential, as well as special tyres and rims, sports seats and a leather steering wheel.  Aerodynamically optimised front and rear spoilers could also be optionally specified.

With its increased output channelled seamlessly into dynamic flair and aerodynamically optimised body components setting it apart stylistically from its 5 Series siblings, the M535i introduced drivers to a whole new level of driving pleasure yet also provided unrestricted everyday usability.

This concept enjoyed sustained success over many years, even after the high-performance BMW M5 sports car was unveiled in 1985.  And now it has been revived in a fresh and contemporary new form with the arrival of the BMW M Performance Automobiles.
