I-BMW ayikaze yenze i-M2 Diesel — akwenzi umqondo omkhulu ukwenza kanjalo, akunjalo? — kodwa lokho akusho ukuthi akekho. Okungenani yilokho okushiwo umnikazi wale M2 50d (uzobe usuqonda umsuka wegama…), owacabanga ngakho kusukela ekuqaleni.
Le BMW yaqala impilo yayo iyi-220d Coupé, kodwa ngenxa yobuhlakani bukaGary Martins, owayenguchwepheshe weBMW odabuka ePortugal osenendawo yakhe yokucobelelana ngolwazi eNingizimu Afrika, iGrease Monkey Motors, isishintshile. ngangokunokwenzeka, imodeli ye-M Diesel, nakuba - ngokusobala - ngokungekho emthethweni.
Kodwa nakuba konke lokhu kungase kubonakale kungcolile kubalandeli bomkhiqizo waseMunich, kuGary Martins akungabazeki ukuthi lokhu "umzimba nomphefumulo" M2. Futhi uma sibheka isiko lamamodeli eDizili anesiginesha engu-M empeleni akuyona into exakayo…
Enye yezimfihlo ezinkulu zalokhu kulungiselelwa kufihlwe ngaphansi kwesivalo, njengoba i-four-cylinder ye-220d ivule ithuba ku-silinda-cylinder emgqeni enamandla angu-3.0 amalitha kanye nama-turbos amathathu (N57) e-X5 M50d (F15, i- isizukulwane esedlule) - "i-monster" ye-Diesel yama-turbos amane yi-B57.
NgokukaGary Martins, kwakungadingekile ukwenza izinguquko ku-chassis ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nalesi sakhiwo “esisabekayo,” esinohlelo lomjovo lwe-water-methanol ne-nitrous oxide (NOS).
Ama-akhawunti enziwe, le M2 Diesel Ilethela amandla angu-591 hp kanye ne-torque engu-1070 Nm , inyuke kakhulu uma iqhathaniswa ne-386 hp ne-740 Nm ekhiqizwe yile njini ngesikhathi isuka embonini.
"Ukwelashwa" okukhethekile - uGary akuchaza kuvidiyo - kuyaqhubeka ngaphandle, nesithombe esifuna ukuphindaphinda ukubukeka okunolaka kwe-BMW M2 "yangempela". Ubhampa wangaphambili, isibonelo, “webiwe” emqhudelwaneni we-M2, kanti ubhampa ongemuva nama-arches amasondo aphuma ngqo ku-M2.
Amapayipi amane angemuva nawo agqamile, njengoba kwenza i-M Performance's carbon fibre rear wing.
Zitholele imoto yakho elandelayo
Kodwa uhlu lwezinguquko alupheli lapha. I-hood yenziwe nge-carbon fiber futhi yadalwa ngokuqondile kulolu shintsho, njengoba kunjalo nesivalo se-trunk, esenziwe ngento efanayo.
Amabhuleki angaphambili abephuma ku-M5 kanti angemuva abephuma ku-M4. Kodwa kukhona okwengeziwe. Injini “yebiwa” yaba ngu-330d yase ilungiswa ukuze ikwazi ukumelana netorque engu-1000 Nm.
Egunyazwe ukushayela emgwaqeni, uGary Martins ugcina esebenzise ngokugcwele i-M2 Diesel yakhe kulo mjaho, okuzothi ngoSepthemba ozayo ibonakale okokuqala emqhudelwaneni eSimola Hillclimb, eKnysna, eNingizimu Afrika.
