Witch will probably end that test drivers job.

But none the less great pictures. The car has gotten a lot wider then the M235i and those wheels are just glorious.

Also just spotted that the fuel lock is round and not square like on the m235i so dint think about that until now. Maybe due to the wider but on the car.



Also on the picture bellow the area around the headlight is really widened and on the M235i the headlights goes along the side of the body here the body of the car goes over the lights, This seems to me like its gonna be an huge area that collects grime,dirt and dead insects witch makes me wonder if they are going to change the headlights as well?

Definitely the M seats



As nice as the M2 is, will be, I wouls.just get an AY M4 because that is one beautiful piece of car

Parading M2's all over town, leaving them parked out in the open, BMW is starting to get this rumor mill started and build buzz.
I'm guessing the plan is something like, July is for camo cars loose on the road for "paparrazi" shots, August is for rumors about specs and "insider" sources and September Frankfurt auto show announcement.

Nope, M4 has the same thing. It'll look really aggressive.

I believe the spokes are indeed thinner, and the design is slightly different. I'll see if I can find an old post about it when I have time

Love the wheels, love the flared fenders, the more agrees I've styling. The m235 is too square looking to me now. The square 225s on the 235 and the lack of agreesive side and rear profile sucks. The front is still good though.

Sure does the M4 has it but it looks off on the F22 but again its hard to tell with the camo without the camo it will probably look really good.

Look at the driver's side kidney. They had covered up what appears to be "M2" or "///M"

So, it seems that the F8X wheels in dark finish seem to get a lot of praise.

I think he was posting that pic to show as an example, not has a spy shot of the M2 interior.

Probably won't see most of the trim changes until the final reveal. Fender vents, badging, mirrors, and so on, will not be visible until than.

The most curious aspect of any aspect of the spyshots is the box of Krispy Kremes on the curb by the parked mule in the 'compact' spot.

I can't wait until the big reveal at the Frankfurt Auto show...

I think white would be my second choice after LBB. Looks mean in that color.

And I actually quite like the way the way the chrome kidneys look so far. Will probably end up leaving it to match the other M's.
