as long as it doesnt get proper ///M mirrors...
then i would have traded in my 1M for a F80 for nothing... i simply needed the mirrors... good job bmw marketing btw. i wonder how many more M3s and M4s you sold just by taking away the mirrors from the ///M2

Excerpt from a BMWBlog interview with M2 designer Al-Attar, tackling the M mirrors versus M235i mirrors topic too: «We asked Al-Attar about some of the more controversial styling cues of the M2, as well, like the controversial issue with the lack of M mirrors. The M2 mirrors are pulled straight from the M235i while fans wanted the same mirrors from its bigger M brothers.

This is likely due to the higher body of the M2 over the M3 or M4. So the M235i mirrors stayed because they offered superior aerodynamics.
Meaning, we couldn't be arsed sorting it out or investigating it much so we just left the shit 235i mirrors on. |

Apparently the CF m performance mirror covers add the equivalent of 10bhp (5 each side) due to the reduction of drag and the less weight. I've also heard the silver ones add no power. Can anyone confirm any of this?

How great would it be if the M2 CS simply debuted with ///M mirrors and we never actually saw them on a mule?
Oh, right, I'll get back to real life.

Even if it came with just one mirror, on the drivers side, that would make me so happy! The car is worthless without the M3/M4 mirrors.

I think it might just come with them...no wait it's an even smaller production niche than the M2 it can't possibly...or can it an M2CS owner will pay to play....no...yes....release the dam car already!

I personally think the M-mirrors are ugly and strange looking.

I'm an IT guy by trade and tech nerd by choice. I like HPDEs, parts of US Hwy 129, NC 28, and the Cherohala Skyway. I'm also a fan of aural pleasure. |

Managed to get a hold of press passes for the Frankfurt autoshow pre-days during my Welt delivery.
What do you guys say, any chance to see a CS over there? Would suck quite badly to see an S55 CS in person, driving a two day old N55 car |

If they are showcasing the new M5 there, unlikely to see the M2 CS as well?
