man, that car needs a carbon fiber roof....

that and those wheels.....oh boy.....terrible.

Winter setups usually look OFF, I've never seen a flattering one. Wheels can make/break a car aesthetically. Throw the 19's on and good to go. I'd like to see some mesh wheels on the M2. 359's would fit, very aggressively.

I agree, thank god those wheels aren't stock. Makes the otherwise aggressive design look pedestrian. If those were the only wheels available on the car I would think twice about getting an M2, that's how bad they ruin the design.

Mineral Grey will be fine. I'll have winter wheels on 4 or 5 months of the year. Now these look like winter wheels..

Kwando · 11-23-2015, 11:35 AM

Those wheels look awful..like they belong on a baby stroller.

e92ben · 11-23-2015, 11:37 AM

Looks great. I still think the m235i front bumper looks better. It's to aggressive especially for the 18s.

For those interested in a carbon fiber roof panel, RevoZport developed one for the E82 1M.

They will follow suit with one for the F87 M2 in short order.

Below are images of 1M carbon fiber roof so it is fairly easy to extrapolate what it will look like on the upcoming F87 M2 Coupe.

DrtyJrze · 11-23-2015, 11:54 AM

It looks bad because of the color... or the wheels...or the camera...or the lighting...

Maybe what makes it look bad is...the design. Sorry, but the front and rear bumper are overdone.

And also, the car needs to have 19s, the 18s don't look quite right with the M2 specific flares.

18s with an beefy stance would look better imo. It even does on the f80.

im not digging this white. looks like a girl's car.

Love the steelies.... Troll level : 10!

This is a great looking car !!! And awesome performance...
But i cant be the only one to think that the original 1M is actually a loot! More cool ?!?

The original bulldog is so lovabl3!

bimmermaus650 · 11-23-2015, 12:08 PM

i think the white looks nice. it's just bad lighting.

Zayken · 11-23-2015, 12:21 PM

It really looks like somebody took an M235 and did some mods.

A discounted M for the lowest budget ?

Not M seats, not carbon roof , not M mirrors not this, not the other ...

The previous 1M, yes, that was an M car and looked like an M car.

ORIGIN M. · 11-23-2015, 12:40 PM

Nice X6M Rear Bumper.

Good Lord its huge.

I kid I kid.

Adem1534 · 11-23-2015, 01:24 PM

Jesus christ, the winter wheels ruin the car. Can we see it with the actual wheels? The blue balls that this car is prolonging is quite frustrating.

I've seen the car in person and I STILL feel like I'm being blue balled.

yousefnjr · 11-23-2015, 01:49 PM

I don't think the 18's are the problem here. I think it's a bad angle on an already-questionable front bumper design

330xtrai · 11-23-2015, 01:52 PM

I think it would look great with some nicer wheels and contrast mperfomance parts

So right therein that first pic lies the problem.

In that light with the wrong wheels this is just a 2 series or M235i to passers by.

No big differentiators visually to mark the M.

Yes WE all recognise the front bumper. WE recognise the side grills. WE know it has double M slat grills but we can't see them. WE know it drives and performs amazingly!

BUT to a casual observer and to the whole inter web before actual driving reviews are released its all based on looks ......and she looks pretty standard ish M235 to me here. Sorry.

Car needs some driving reviews PDQ.

Yep, looks pretty bad. LBB or black, all the way, with this car.

DS_BMW · 11-23-2015, 02:21 PM

The problem is the bumpers are just not right. They should of been closer to the M3, M4 bumpers.

White...... mehhhh!!!
