Let's discuss the BMW "M2 CS" rumor: will there be a hardcore M2 variant 2019/2020 ?

Pretty sure I've seen that ride... I'm just up the street in Saint Chuckles.

666M wheels are fugly. Ruins the look of the M4/M3.

The Competition wheels from the e46 and e92 M3 days are were much better.

Well...they're basically the same from the E46 --> E92, so....not a lot of impressive innovation there.

I DID like the CSL wheels...a few years back, but nostalgia can be hard to overcome.

666M are a lot nicer in person, the concavity and depth of the wheel seems to get lost in pictures. E46 ones are nice, the E92 ones are similar but a bit meh. The regular E92 M3 wheel designs were so bad they look amazing in comparison though.

Now that dmboone25 points it out, I agree that size does matter here. The 666M wheels look great on the M3 - the elaborate design completely works with the size and dimensions of the M3, and those wheels look like they "fit" the car. But on the M2, they don't work for me, they just seem out of proportion with the car. I think BMW nailed it with the current wheels, they may not be as elaborate as the 666M, but they just look right.

Oh we are close. I'm in West Chicago.

Here are 359M replica's, but you get the idea of how nice they look on the M2.

This is the latest ASAP file downloaded from server. What you mean for old/new?

Is this a picture BMW added recently now that the M2 Competition is close to being released? Or has this picture been available online for years?

Considering that lci is possible from November 17 is quite recent

Hmm, new power dome rumors. Interesting.

I would love it if the M2C got one of these, just for aesthetic purposes.

I think the 666Ms look good on the M2 in pictures, but I have never seen them in person on the F87.

Looking at my dad's M2, I have never thought that he needed bigger wheels - so the 19 might be the "just right" size.

Just saw an 'leaked' photo of the M2 Competition passing by on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhTeDzHH...-by=bimmernews.

No idea if it's real or not

I believe the photo is authentic versus an artist's rendering; one major clue is the city in the background which looks exactly like Beijing, China
