Bimmerpost exclusive: M2 Competition render!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
UPDATED 05 April: Tweaks to the renders mainly by making the main air intake more angular and shortening the fangs... in stock form to start (with Shadowline trim) and available colours: Sunset Orange, Hockenheim Silver (at least how I guess it is), Black Sapphire Metallic & Alpine White...

Hi All, here's my render on the upcoming M2 Competition soon to be released (at the end of April). It's going to be interesting to see how it will compare to the real thing.

I've tried to make the render as realistic as possible, including the parking sensors. The element I'm not completely comfortable is the shape of the kidneys but my design is based on information circulated on the M2 Competition forum here: https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1477654. The actual kidneys could be more like the M8 Gran Coupe concept...

As you can see the changes are subtle but makes the front end more angular and sharper looking. The main air intake is clearly like the M5's but a bit more angular, there are 3 small air intake slots at its bottom. The fangs are pulled more to the side, are more angular and shorter, allowing more cooling to the engine (& brakes?). I've lowered the car compared to the stock M2 and using stock M2 wheels, but probably wider. Stock 4 piston brakes... I've made the render with the regular bonnet. For M mirrors fanatics, yes, they are on my render & body coordinated. Finally the car is in shadowline trim. Since he original car was a pre-LCI, I've added the LCI headlights.

I will be making more renders with bits I'd like to have such as: different wheels, CCB, M4 GTS carbon bonnet, M4 CS front splitter, more body colours etc...

As you can see the renders are with the available colours discussed in this forum to give you a realistic look at the car. Again it's unfortunate the M2 is produced with a limited colour palette, but at least the colours are more interesting than at it's launch...

Hope you like the renders!
