Very nice, this is close to what it will be. The one detail on the bumper that I think is wrong is the sharp corners (the vertical line on either side at the body corner) I doubt they would do that, even if the protos are showing it. The rest of looks pretty spot on. You are definitely correct in the no gills, and the general proportions. When you think about it it really isn't too hard to speculate on.

Autocar is notoriously fast and loose with quotes and interpolation (inferring meaning from context). If you look at the original article, you'll notice that the "quote" (hint, it's not really a quote) from Nitschke and the S57 speculation are in two separate paragraphs. Read carefully (emphasis mine): "As with the earlier limited-volume 1M Coupé, which it indirectly replaces in the BMW M line-up, the M2 Coupé will be powered by a turbocharged 3.0-litre in line six-cylinder direct injection petrol engine. It won’t, however, be the powerplant used by the larger and more expensive four-door M3 and its mechanical identical two-door sibling the M4, according to departing M division boss Friedrich Nitschke." "Described as an all-new development, the S57 B30-designated unit is based around the German car maker’s upcoming B57 powerplant that is planned to make its debut in the sixth-generation 7-series early next year - rather than the older N55 engine that forms the basis of the unit that powers the M3 and M4, the so-called S55 B30." The part is attributed directly to Nitschke, but there are no quotes, so we know it's not a direct quote. We know with a reasonable level of confidence that the M2 won't have the same engine as the F8x M3/4, so it makes sense that he would say something like this. Notice that the next paragraph gives no direct attribution, however. So the World Car Fans website is inferring that this following paragraph is also directly attributed to Nitschke. Given that this is Autocar, I think that's a leap of faith. Autocar intentionally uses ambiguous attribution so that they can deny having made incorrect claims in the past. For example, if the M2 is released with the N55B30T0, they can claim that they never attributed this information directly to Nitschke, and that it was simply a rumor. All of this because of their ambiguous phrasing. I'm not saying the M2 will or won't come with a S57, but I am saying you have to be very careful how you interpret Autocar's "quotes".

Thank you!!
Hmm I think I"m feeling the blue one a bit better. I really really hope the M2 comes with a CF roof, that'll look fantastic with all the contrast.
