P.S. I'm getting tired to death waiting for new pics. Seriously, this is not fun anymore

I compensate by following other cars even closer than normal.

The longer the gaps between sightings/news, the more I explore other options. Hint, hint BMW.

I compensate by focusing on enjoying my 135i when I can. Okay, it's not an ///M, but will still be a sad day when it goes!

I would agree, but there's nothing out there for me that's a direct replacement to my E36 or a roadster that I'd want in the near future (aka 2 years).

I'm not exactly known for my patience haha

That's what I'm trying to do as well with my E36 M3. I need to stop looking the M2 because it's so far away for me, so might as well enjoy what I have!

Me too, although approaching the 2 year point with my M135i I'm really getting inpatient. I need to stop logging in with the hope that there will be new sightings or an update from Scott. I only hope I don't succumb to the M3/4.

At least in the UK we are getting the M2 earlier apparently

[eunosracr]

Call me crazy but this looks pretty darn close to what an M2 could look like.

The Recaros are nice at least.

The tyres on that Manhart car are too skinny, IMO an inch smaller wheels with more sidewall would look much more aggressive, BMW's don't suit tiny tyres like that.

In terms of the profile of the car, yea I think it'll be pretty close too. I hope the M2 looks as wide as that.

I wonder? Can that be coded in?

Googling shows X5 apparently A$1700 and a 3 series A$3k-3.5k. Although no one mentioned the spec of car as the option prices change (ie: cheaper on a 335i than a 320i). I like it a lot.

Only in the fenders I think, better molded than this at least.

I think the front flares won't be that pronounced, or they will at least "flow" better into the side profile of the car.

If you look @ the modded 235 pic above - from the side - the door looks out of place to me - just because the front and rear fenders are SO flared.

Just my opinion, but not a bad effort for a wide body kit.

Oh it'll definitely be a cleaner OEM look, but I think this wb gives you a good idea of the width difference between an M235i and M2. I'm usually not a fan of widebodies, but this one is better than the others. Still wouldn't do it though

this is the closest uncovered spy shots of the M2. Add the 19" from the M4 and raise it up by a few mm and you have your production shot. Cool ha!

Can someone photochop the m4 19s on this thing to see how it would look?

Ya? The M2 has those big vents on the side?

[twin fed]

The Mannhart car looks way to aftermarket. I know that the M2 will be cleaner.

OK enough playing around. We're all bored and waiting for more info. For the love of god, somebody PS the rear end:

Agreed - I wonder how wide the front is on this kit, in terms of what sized tires will fit...

[CarbonBLK]

Are you guys thinking of creating a profile render? I'm curious to see what that would look like.

Lets not forget, Scott did confirm that the rear will have side vents behind the rear wheels as well, like the 1M.

Gotta make sure to include that. Because that will look BAD ASS.
