some M2 pictures

Purple88Gold · 07-03-2015, 11:36 PM

Taillights are ugly and outdated.

W/// · 07-04-2015, 12:00 AM

This car is begging for an M-Performance spoiler. That would probably be one of my first mods:

Hazey82 · 07-04-2015, 12:34 AM

You think the rear diffuser will be colour coded like M4 or dark grey like the 1M? I hope it's the latter as I think it looks better

These must have been 'authorized' pictures, alike the Winter test session pictures (Scandinavia).

It's all part of the game.

They're the same on the 2 series, and who is to say that they will not be LCI'd when production starts?

Pyrat 2 · 07-04-2015, 07:02 AM

When will they unveil proper M mirrors?

Color coded IMO.

TunedM2C · 07-04-2015, 09:20 AM

I think this is the best view of the front aerodynamics to date.

The front aero will look extremely similar to the aero of the Vision GT6 concept

crawfordbay · 07-04-2015, 06:56 PM

These are some great close ups. Can't wait any more for the reveal. Cmon!

Which is different to the M3/M4's 275/35...

Given the side wall is consistent and we would assume a staggered setup I'd say the tyre sizes are:

245/35/19
265/30/19

245/265 is and was the 1M size, on M3 rims, ie M3 wheels and tyres.

I am really hoping they replicate that on the 2 with the M3/4 wheel AND tyre combos. Else why go to the trouble of adding these flares and not filling them to the max ��

They never fill them to the max from factory anyway. You can (and should IMO) fit bigger tires on the M3/4

Nope, admit it: except if one has ties with BMW, you or your source operated a drone and was really quick before chased away.

Even a boss like Dackelone is not allowed to get behind the fence (but he has an 'interesting' network). Just sayin'.

who said that i was behind fence?

the meshes of the chain link fence are so big, so that it is no problem to take a photo throuht the meshes , standing on the foot-walk outside.

but if someone likes to believe the insider story: no problem for me

... i own a drone ... could be a good story too...

I don't care. This is about the M2 as far as I'm concerned. How the pics and videos comes to us is all the same to me.

Marries · 07-05-2015, 02:42 PM

I reckon all these "spied" photos are uploaded by BMW themselves to give us "middle class folk" time to plan our next bank robbery in time... How considerate

Hah. They're totally screwing with us.

Mdecisive · 07-07-2015, 07:48 AM

Att: BMW

Things we want in the m2
1) CCB
2) Carbon fibre roof
3) BMW performance seats (unique to the m2)
4) power dome hood in memory of Jeremy Clarkson (POWAAAAA)
5) M4 side mirrors
6) give the car a soul

BMWPWR · 07-07-2015, 07:51 AM

Is this another M2 uncovered in the background?

Demon23 · 07-07-2015, 07:52 AM

This might just be the best looking / best handling M car on offer... and to top it off.. the least expensive one at that ... here's hoping that the handling will mesure up to the looks... if only they would do a CSL version of it = HEAVEN !!!

Quite the tease, BMW. Quite the tease.

Very common. Undergoing final fit and finish reviews. Also, to keep the press and the punters interested.
