E92 is the worst looking M3 made to date. Narrow bodied, flat arsed with a porky curb weight.

Agreed, biased as an OG M2 owner but the OG M2 is the best looking of the bunch. I was at a dealer over the weekend and it was the first time I had a good long look at the G series cars and the grill memes are on point. Some design guy at BMW is pulling off the biggest troll in history.

The Subaru jokes keep coming for the M2CS because the thing is LITERALLY in the iconic Subaru colors.

I would have expected a throwback color to the E30 M3 as homage such as one of the reds. To me the iconic BMW M color is either orange for the M1 and 1M or red for the M3. Maybe they are trying to make blue the iconic M2 color but LBB is a much better blue compared to Misano Blue imo.

That's because of an inflexible US automotive federal requirement, specific to the size of the overall vehicle.

That and the amber side markers within the corner of the headlights are mandatory due to an archaic law that was never revised to reflect current technology and design.

If BMW doesn't add them, the vehicle could possible be held up by US Customs or restricted from sale, until its remedied..

Luckily, they're easy to replace..

Agreed! Even though it is likely not warmed up and obviously not under load, that sounds MUCH better!!

The fangs on the M2c are more appealing to me than those on the og. However, I like the og kidneys better.

There's nothing clown about this car my friend... except the blue/gold combo The M2 is one of the greatest M cars ever made. Having owned nearly a dozen varying from the M3 up to the X5M, the M2 really is a great vehicle, without question the most fun to drive. It's by far my favorite of any M I've ever owned, and I'm looking forward to grabbing a CS when they come out.

Clown on my friend, clown on!

Saw the M2 CS and sat in it and spent some time with it.

Misano blue with gold wheels looks awful. Would like 100x times better with black wheels.

I like the hood and the cf roof the most on the CS. Interior is not much different from the M2c. Yeah the seats are different but once I sat in them I forgot that they were different. Black chrome exhaust tips from the M2c look better than the CS tips.

Nice car, but not worth 25k+ more than the M2c for me. I would pay 10-15k above the M2c for one.

Why all the hate with the gold M Performance 763M..

Love the flair; reminds me of the throwback gold BBS from 1980s Beamers that the rappers use to yap about..

Define “amazing”. I think we have entirely different perspectives of what sounds “amazing” if that’s what you truly feel the S14 sounds like.

Yes, it sounds better than your average 4-banger, but that’s not what I consider good sound by any stretch, let alone amazing.

The more I see this, the more it makes me want the C8 vette. I think this will sit on dealer lots (ones that are available anyway) just like the the M3/4 CS. Plus all this hype around a car that most wont be able to get due to limited production. In my older age I no longer see any value in limited production accept to flip them and make a buck like 95% of people lucky enough to get one.

I know some people like them and good for them.

Personally, I can't stand them.
They are no longer kidney grills, and when you look at them as a whole, especially in this color contrast, it just looks like they're copying Kia.
I'm not a fan of the butterfly grill either, but it still looks FAR better than some of the crap BMW is doing with the grills on their other models. And of course the upcoming G80 grill is going to make the M2C and M2CS grill look fantastic when viewing both side by side.
