Is that even an M2? Looks like an old mule for a 228i or something. Not seeing any dual exhausts, yet alone quad pipes.

True but you don't need to have the car physically there to test or ensure emissions compliance.
Don' know....that pic and the location still fishy but who knows??

Between the picture being taken on a crappy phone, it being dark out, and the car having camo, it's definitely possible that we just can't really see the flares. I really do think that this is a false alarm. But even if it isn't, this tells us absolutely nothing new unfortunately

As soon as more shots come in, I'll be staring at them for a long time as I'm sure others will too. I hope that happens soon! Until then... we must wait |

I think the roof line is normal and what appears to be a raised section is just trickery from the camo. If you follow the roofline across to the area right above the CHMSL, you can see the slope of the roof is smooth, where an upgraded roof spoiler would be pronounced. A single exit exhaust is clear with the exposure turned up, but there's too much noise in the original photo to see whether there is a second tip in the area where the road lightens. The wheels on the car prevent any sort of view of the brake calipers. Seems to be standard monitoring equipment inside the car. And the dude driving appears to be on his phone.
