For people complaining about the M mirrors, have you tried retrofitting M3/M4 mirrors?

On topic, OP hinted at something that looks like the crappy render, doesn't mean BMW will use that.

Where would this car be produced? BMW is having a hard time keeping up with M2 demand as is.

I think it's a bolt-on part.

So is this testing of a new M2 model or is it testing of a new front lip for the M2? I wonder if they decided to add a front lip to the M performance catalog for the M2 because those stupid winglets aren't selling like they hoped!???

Rear winglets may work on a Ferrari 458 Speciale, as integrated in its design. Won't work as an add-on on an M2, IMHO.

IMO those winglets are about one notch above aftermarket stick-on hood vents.

Am I the only who doesn't mind the winglets on the M2? I mean I wouldn't pay for them, but if the car had em on for free and I had to do work to take em off I don't think I'd bother lol. I think they look worse on the Ferrari there.

I think they work better on AW to be honest, not so much on LBB
