宝马将于今年夏季推出M140i和M240i两款车型，从而使宝马的车型阵容进一步扩大。据宝马博客介绍，M140i和M240i轿跑车/敞篷车与最近发布的340i和X4 M40i遵循相同设计风格。这两款车的输出功率额外增加了11千瓦/15马力至250千瓦/340马力。这两款车均搭载一台排放满足欧6标准的3.0升全铝引擎以替代M135i/M235i搭载的3.0升涡轮增压引擎。M235i百公里加速时间为5.0秒，预计M240i约为4.8至4.9秒。与引擎搭配的预计是一台六速手动或ZF提供的八速自动变速器，将动力传递至后轮或四轮。

 

BMW adding M140i & M240i to range this summer

BMW is set to launch two new hot models this summer, joining the already impressively huge portfolio of the brand.

 

According to BMW Blog sources, the Bavarian company is preparing to introduce the M140i hatch and M240i Coupe/Convertible that follow in the footsteps of the recently launched 340i and X4 M40i. Basically, these two versions will gain an additional 15 horsepower (11 kilowatts) for a grand total of 340 hp (250 kW).

 

The M140i and M240i will be equipped with an Euro 6 compliant 3.0-liter all-aluminum motor that will replace the 3.0 turbocharged unit of the M135i/M235i models. The sexy M235i is capable of reaching 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in 5.0 seconds, so we expect the new 40i variant that will be positioned below the range-topping M2 perform this sprint for 4.8-4.9 seconds.

 

As one would expect, the new engine will be mated to either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed ZF automatic transmissions, sending power to the rear wheels, for both vehicles.
