AUTOID proudly presents a groundbreaking development in automotive customisation – the release of a fully functional, rally-prepped BMW G87 M2. This extraordinary project marries the unrivalled asphalt pace of the BMW M2 with the rugged endurance required for rally racing, offering an unprecedented driving experience that bridges the gap between circuit performance and off-road capability.

 

From Track to Trail: The Revolutionary BMW G87 M2 Rally Edition

Jack Smith, Managing Director at AUTOID, expressed, "The BMW M2 has established itself as a symbol of peak performance on the street and the track. It was our ambition to extend this legacy into the realm of rally racing, showcasing the vehicle's versatility and broadening its appeal to enthusiasts seeking the ultimate in off-road adventure."

 

 

This exclusive AUTOID rally-spec M2 features:

• All-Wheel Drive Conversion: A bespoke adaptation of BMW's xDrive system, based off of the xDrive system present in the G80 M3 and G82 M4, tailored to maximise traction and control across varying off-road conditions. This innovation promises unparalleled grip and control, ensuring the M2 carves its path through loose terrain with unparalleled confidence.

• Custom Suspension Design: Suspension modifications are executed with Öhlins, a gold standard in the world of high-performance racing suspensions. Öhlins provides the M2 with a state-of-the-art adjustable suspension system, allowing for up to 20 inches of suspension travel and designed for resilience and adaptability to the demanding nature of rally racing.

• Enhanced Wheel and Tyre Configuration: Wheels are supplied in partnership by HRE, known for their lightweight and durable forged wheels. HRE and AUTOID co-developed a rugged yet lightweight performance-focused wheel, guaranteed to get you to the end of your tour. These are paired with Michelin rally tyres for unmatched grip and durability. This combination delivers exceptional performance across a variety of off-road surfaces, ensuring reliability and traction in even the most challenging conditions.

 

• Comprehensive Underbody Protection: An extensive protection setup designed to shield the vehicle's critical components from the challenges of off-road hazards and impacts. TRE have worked closely with AUTOID to deliver 10mm thick steel skid plates in vital areas - ensuring whatever you face, you'll prevail. 

 

• Superior Cooling Upgrades: Cooling system enhancements are provided by CSF Radiators, a leader in cooling technology for high-performance and racing vehicles. Their advanced cooling solutions are specifically designed to manage the thermal demands of rally racing, ensuring optimal performance under extreme conditions.

The vehicle also stands out with its distinctive aesthetics, featuring a unique rally livery and the AUTOID TRE TR87 body kit adapted for rally specifications, making a bold statement of style and intention.

 

Engine Enhancements for Supreme Performance

To complement its transformation, the M2's engine has been significantly upgraded to produce an astonishing 690bhp, facilitated by cutting-edge modifications including hybrid turbochargers, high-flow intakes, and a comprehensive exhaust overhaul. This ensures that the rally-spec M2 not only looks the part but delivers exceptional performance to match.

Exclusive Dakar Package

• Extended Range Fuel System: Understanding the importance of range in endurance rally events, the Dakar Package includes a 200-Litre fuel tank. This significant upgrade ensures drivers can navigate extensive distances across challenging terrains without the constant concern for refueling.

 

• Weight Reduction for Enhanced Performance: The Dakar Package incorporates a meticulous interior strip-out. Removing non-essential components and furnishings not only sheds weight but also lowers the vehicle's centre of gravity, improving handling and agility on unpredictable surfaces.

 

• FIA-Approved Safety Enhancements: Safety is paramount in the rigorous conditions of rally racing. The Dakar Package features a comprehensive, FIA-approved roll cage designed to protect occupants in the event of a rollover or collision. This addition is engineered to meet the strict safety standards required for competition in international rally events.

 

• Advanced Navigation System: Navigating the unmarked expanses of rally stages demands precision and reliability. The Dakar Package includes the AUTOID Co-Pilot, an AI-driven navigation system that offers real-time route guidance, obstacle warnings, and stage timing, ensuring competitors can focus on driving performance without losing their way.

 

• Self-Inflating and Self-Healing Tyre Technology: To counter the threat of tire damage in harsh rally conditions, the Dakar Package equips the M2 with cutting-edge self-inflating and self-healing tyres. This technology automatically repairs punctures and maintains optimal tire pressure, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing reliability throughout the race.
