Because the entire bodywork functions as an aerodynamic unit, the interaction with the front had to be optimised. The BMW M specialist used a lightweight layer construction with glass fibre laminate and carbon fibre inserts. As a result, the front flap, rear wing and diffuser come together perfectly, ensuring the required degree of down force and ground hold. Finally, a racing-compliant engine bonnet lock was installed in Garching.

The flat light bar on the roof is equipped with state-of-the-art LED technology and control electronics. The lightweight, sandwich-construction holder consists of a sub-laminate, a perforated plate in the centre and a carbon fibre covering which is finished in the colour of the car to blend in perfectly. The internal metal panel not only absorbs tensile forces, it also serves to securely fix the light bar, which can be easily removed for transport purposes.

The light bar is controlled via an in-house-developed control panel in the cockpit. Here the crew can choose from different light-indicator programmes and blinking frequencies. Additional LED flashes were installed in the front and rear ends. The accompanying control device comes from the SES specialists and was adapted for the MotoGP™. On the front grille, blue LEDS are used, plus the corona rings of the headlights blink. On the rear, red LED flashes replace the Series standard back lights.

One of the first measures undertaken was the removal of the back bench from the base model by technicians, freeing up the floor assembly area. Subsequently, the receptacles for the roll cage, the anchors for the six-point belts and the fixture for the fire extinguisher were welded. The cage was modeled on the BMW M4 GTS and adapted to the space conditions of in the M2 Coupé.

Many of the cladding parts in the interior were rebuilt with particular care when in production. The result: the new BMW M2 MotoGP Safety Car which represents the racing know-how of BMW M GmbH in its purest form. The golden plaque on the décor trim demonstrates the exclusivity of the BMW M2 MotoGP Safety Car. The highlight of the Safety Car Fleet is the gold-coloured accents on the racing seats, the steering-wheel clip and the contrasting seams.

BMW M opted for the carbon ceramic brake derived from the BMW M3/M4 to match the M Performance and the Michelin Cup tyres. The light braking system is corrosion-free, thermally extremely stable, and particularly wear-resistant and reduces the unsprung masses significantly. Despite, the optimised performance features, the maintenance for the BMW M2 MotoGP Safety Car is reduced, which in light of the very tight MotoGP™ racing calendar offers distinct advantages.

Even though the light bar and the roof support were designed to be flat and streamlined, they still interfere with the outstanding aerodynamics of the BMW M2 Coupé, especially at race track speed. Inspired by the BMW M4 GTS, the engineers have also designed for the BMW M2 MotoGP Safety Car a light, adjustable rear wing made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRB), which improves the airflow and reduces lift on the rear axle.

In terms of the exhaust system, the engineers put their trust in the proven M Performance materials. For use in the motorcycle world championship, however, the system was completely removed. The reason: without the silencer, catalytic converter and flap system, the BMW M2 MotoGP Safety Car still makes itself heard even when the motorcycles set the tone in the preliminary lap.
