Yep, me too. And at the end of the day, I'd make sure to log on here and comment on how dumb everyone is for arguing over non-functional powerdomes

It will get official M mirrors. It won't get them until the very last minute, same thing with the 1M. Don't make a harsh conclusion without doing the slightest of research.

They tend to hide pretty much anything that would be a dead giveaway to being an M model (to the mass public). The mirrors would be instantly noticeable which is probably why they don't include them during testing. Its not like they need to test anything with them on.

I feel a somewhat more distinctive hood shape than the one you get with a 228i (not necessarily one with a non functional bulge) would be more appropriate on the baby M, perhaps a more distinctive rear spoiler, as well. Hopefully that will be forthcoming, when the production model is revealed.

Completely agree. I think all 2ers need at least the M-performance spoiler to look good (M2 included) just because the trunk is so flat.

Perfectly normal. You won't see these test mule side mirrors on the product version.

Check the 1M test mules and compare with the 1M product version:

Agreed. That's because the trunk is flat. Should've made it like the M4 or even E82.

I dont think the prototypes are running final boywork, defintely will still get M mirrors and a local senior BMW manager "(South Africa) told me it will have duck tail spoiler taller than on the 1M but less extreme than than the M3 CSL...

At least it will look like an M car and be aggressive.

The 235 tires are horrid. Skinny and awful Pirelli

I think the M2 will have 255s in the rear minimum, but most likely 265 rear and 245s in the front.

M mirrors and cf roof, with flared fenders, diffuser etc and its a worthy 2er car. I would still get the M4 over the m2 though.

If they're gonna make this a true M car, will the interior be full leather or will it be the fake stuff? The M4 interior is much more luxurious and premium

They should have given it the M4's ducktail trunk. But, the green house is aesthetic to me than the M4's. The M4's rear greenhouse looks almost hatchback like and not as elegant as the e92 M3's

M4 side profile. Look at the rear styling and C pillar. The M4 is almost a fastback hatch, which doesn't get as well as the E92's styling.




E92 M3 side profile. Look at the C pillar and rear window, and how there seems to be more of a form for the trunk.




Better side by side here.

Bit OT but I think the M4 looks a lot better than the E92

The M235i has Michelin tyres, and there's no mention of a cf roof on the M2, and of course the M4 is more luxurious, it will cost a lot more than an M2, but have a look at an M5 if you think a 4 is more luxurious, it's a lot better, but as big as a bus
