LW M2 tuned by Lightweight

With their latest 2018 project vehicle Lightweight presents something very out of the ordinary – once again.

Following the LW M2 CSR which was equipped with pure M4 GTS technique, its successor with solely M2 technique – teamed with the benefits of a convertible – makes a first public appearance.In cross-comparison to the CSR the genes of the LW M2 convertible have a rather more female touch. Never built this way by BMW – implemented technically and visually a 100 % by Lightweight- now, the LW M2 convertible named “Hillary” is in the public eye.

“For us it was important to upgrade this vehicle not only visually on the M2 base, but it was a duty to install the entire technique of a M2. Visual conversions from a F23 to a M2 already exist, so that was no challenge for us – but installing the DKG transmission including the differential and M2 axles completely, that was our obligation.” according to the head of Lightweight, Marc Müller.

“Hillary’s” interior had to be adapted to the visible conditions of the M2, the rear bench and side panels are supplied with the original blue contrast stitching. Primarily, Lightweight is constructing performance-orientated vehicles and due to that fact the team mounted a Bilstein clubsport chassis into the LW M2 – especially aligned to this particular sports car faster rides on country roads and mountain passes can be enjoyed with incredible pleasure.

“It was our goal to reach the maximum of an attractive look and performance with the chosen set of wheels. No one ever hardly put 305/25/21 on a M2….” said Marc Müller. Also the combination of 20 inch on the front axle and 21 inch on the rear axle required adjustments to the ABS – that’s why M5 GTS’ ABS alignment was the best choice, as it drives on different dimensions as well (19/20 inch).

A lot of real carbon applications in the interior, a steering wheel with fine perforated Alcantara leather and any possible BMW features makes the summer thoroughly enjoyable in the LW M2 convertible.

From the outside the LW M2 convertible appears decent/sporty. A lot of real carbon parts are used, like the two-part front spoiler (an extendable spoiler blade is available upon request), a diffuser and twin-kidney shaped radiator grilles.

The magnificent sound of the six cylinder engine beats its drums through a Lightweight titanium end muffler with real carbon end pipes and a Lightweight 300 cell down-pipe right into the ears of the passengers – especially if the roof is down.
