I think these real life pics look better than the pro ones. That being said, color-matched reflectors would help, as would a black grille of course. I also think the car could use a drop.
Any initial thoughts on whether there would be brake clearance issues on going down to 18" wheels? With the relatively short overhangs and giant flares, the 19's seem too big to me. Anyone else concur? |

E82 1M, E9x M3, F80 M3/M and M2 all look like they can wear the same " shoes" Most people go with aftermarket Apex wheels like the ARC-8 or EC-7 OEM 18s will certainly fit as well |

Get an MGM2
1. Wait for a lip to come out. Would love the SLEK style lip 2. buy a CF roll with the same weave as the lip and cover up the fangs 3. Aftermarket power dome hood if possible (leave dome in CF and paint match rest of the hood) 4. duck bill spoiler (long one to compensate for the long bumper) 5. CF OEM diffuser or aftermarket 6. CF mirror covers 7. Tint (windows/ reflectors - black) 8. 18" rims with beefy tires 9. dropped 10. my perfect M2

That is probably the biggest turnoff when I see an Audi go by. Beautiful car until you see the sides of the headlights I prefer the reflectors to be on the outside because they can always be removed or changed to clear ones where as in the Audi you would have to buy Euro Spec headlights. |

Hey guys, it's been a long day but I had a blast. There are two videos that I sent in to Jason to get posted here, they're not great and shot with my phone but hopefully someone will enjoy them.
These are the only three pictures I was able to get before they hopped in and carted it away, they did a quick run on the large outer loop and then it went straight onto the truck. Honestly, it looks very similar to the pictures. Either you like it, or you don't. Personally, I'm a fan and will be waiting to find out how it drives before making my next purchase. It certainly has presence when you're standing next to it like the 1M did. Sorry, that's all I got. They moved it away almost immediately. Quote:

Good to finally see a real picture. First mod would be to black out those aweful reflectors out back. That looks really bad IMO.

Looks good to me. Can't wait to see one IRL. I agree with those who have said the rear reflectors and fangs In front bumper aren't an attractive features.
I will still probably buy an M2 when my lease is up. The car is the perfect size. I will be tired of the giant GT by then.

I love the 18" rims with beefy tires idea. I would look for the F80 18"s.

Oh I definitely feel the same.. however, i'd take the CF on the fangs than to have them exposed. I used a roll of CF on my F30 front lip and it looked pretty awesome. 10 minute job with some extra protection against debris

LBB looks stunning in the sunlight. I can't believe that in the X5M I hate the color and the M2 I love the color. So confused!
