In addition to the sleek fixed roof, BMW has made subtle, purposeful styling changes to mark the 2006 M Coupe. A distinct front fascia with the company’s traditional kidney grilles set deeper into their openings is decorated with black vertical grille slats and includes three air intakes under the bumper for added engine and brake cooling. The M Coupe comes standard with auto-leveling xenon headlamps with washers, luminous rings on the inboard lights, white turn signal indicators, and an aluminum hood with new character lines stamped into it. Other M-specific treatments include 18-inch M double-spoke aluminum wheels, M-logo badges, four chrome-tipped exhaust outlets, a unique rear bumper and lower diffuser, and adaptive LED brake lights that glow brighter the harder you stop.
