SignatureJames 2018 BMW M2 Long Beach Blue Build

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Wanted to formally introduce myself to the M2 Community. I am no stranger to Bimmerpost but I stumbled upon a great deal (impulse buy) from Jesse @ Irvine BMW which lead me to 2018 BMW M2 6 Speed Manual ownership.

I was never a "blue car" person minus BMW's. Owner multiple E46 M3's in Interlagos Blue/ Black & Laguna Seca Blue/ Cinnamon and now this is the latest Blue ///M platform I get to play with.

I would say that BMW has a lost of the their natural driving emotion but the M2 is the last to hang onto some reminiscence of it. I really dig the chassis size & their electronic steering has been sorted quite well.

The vehicle is named #uglybeautiful as I felt the M2 has some ugly proportions (especially the rear) but has some amazing & angular areas (front fascia).

My intentions with this build was to create a balanced vehicle that can be used for stress relieving night drives, back road carving and entry level HPDE weekends. There is heavy influence in style direction in order to create what BMW won't, a M2 GTS. I called upon few technology partners to help aid in finding the perfect balance of reliability, handling, and style. Many thanks to Titan 7 Wheels, Vorsteiner, Eibach, Ground Control, Akrapovic, CSF Radiators and Yokohama tires for creating the right products.

Thank you to European Auto Source, Funfzehn & Signature Autobody for putting it all together with my attempt at paying homage to the non existent M2 GTS
