I don't see this, those grilles look massive.
If the grilles are massive than the headlights are too small. I like other models where the light meets the grille and ties the front end together.

Angle Comparison to the M235i

*First thing i noticed its the gorgeous hips the M2 has compared to the M235i.
*Second thing i noticed its the inter-cooler the mouth is huge compared to the M235i

If anything would bother me on the M2 then its probably that section where the lights head backwards to the wheel just that little room there bothers me i think they could have made that better. Its going to be the bane to clean when it gets dirty and all the dead bugs are going to collect there like crazy. But if they have made the Brakes better the the M235i who really is a brake dust whore. Then its okay

The front of the 2 Series Coupe is one of the best designs in the BMW line up. The fact that the headlights do not touch the grill is the best part to most who truly like the car.

Agree with you, The headlight design of the 2 Series is one of the best BMW have designed in years. I do love the 3-4 series too but i don't think the headlights should touch the grills at all.

18" wheels would have been fine but these are OK.

Don't care about mirrors. I'm sure the final ones will be suitable to the task at hand.

Guys, you were looking for teasers? This car has less camo than the previous one, which had less camo than the one before that. Is this how BMW is teasing us?

It needs a spoiler so badly... Also some decent HRE wheels and a bilstein lowering suspension kit. BMW always manages to release a car that I like that needs tonnes of changes to make it even more badass. Luckily the base model is already cool.

List of changes on my M2 is growing new project coming up...

Oh and for the photographer next time shoot more photos please. We saw this so often, we need detail shots of what is under the wrap.

I'm sure it's just me but I don't like the taillights, and the front end looks outdated. I want to like how it looks but I'm already getting bored with it.

I'm kind of with you there, I wish the flares were more 1M styled and less M4 styled...

It almost looks a little bland..... Weirdly enough I'm not a fan of YAS Marina blue but I reckon it would look pretty cool on the M2

Someone who has Dr. Z on his avatar pic might want to consider moving to the dark side and drive an overpowered taxi instead of the best handling car of 2016...
