A shame it includes the unigrllle.

M1fortyeye · 08-24-2018, 11:13 AM

Painting the middle part solves the issue..

But it looks like it includes front PDC sensors

///M² · 08-24-2018, 11:13 AM

Why? M2 front end is perfect...to each their own I guess

hey guys, check out my new $70k car that i had to spray paint the middle of the grill. pretty dope eh?

you can't paint away the kia-ness of that thing either.

GoneIn4Secs · 08-24-2018, 11:52 AM

Did it improve air flow/cooling? Verified?

Cool thing is the front parking sensor , did u need to make any idrive updates or did it show up on its own?

termigni · 08-24-2018, 11:55 AM

I never liked the M2C front, even in person. But this picture makes it look pretty good.

infinitekidM2C · 08-24-2018, 11:59 AM

I'm getting an M2c but i've no idea why anyone would pay probably near $3k to do this "conversion"

arquitecto · 08-24-2018, 12:40 PM

Best part of this is that we now see what an M2C could have looked like if they hadn’t discontinued MG...

Well if one prefers N55, look of M2C and usability of PDC then 1.7k eur is really a bargain..that's the price of akra downpipe (with cat). Not mentioning not taking financial hit replacing M2 with M2C. Although I think price for PDC is not included here.. front PDC at BMW usually costs around 600eur when ordering new car.

Sure you can, the new painted grille from Ind looks great!

D22M2 · 08-24-2018, 01:37 PM

That’s a no for me dawg

ShelJW · 08-24-2018, 01:44 PM

There are things about the M2C that I prefer over the OG.... (seats, M mirrors, M1/M2 buttons, red start/stop button).....

the front isn't one of them.

Yeah if anything, they should offer a conversion for the m2c to og m2

meh, i think the main issue is the unified brow thing. IND took care of that. Me? i like the new look, it's always this way with changes, first you don't like it, then it warms up, then you do like it. ok maybe i'm a sheep!

As our customer was so satisfied, the M exterior mirrors in Shadow Line will come to the vehicle next."

Dude must really love that Mineral Gray N55 because at this point I feel like it probably would've just been easier to get an M2C.

ORG · 08-24-2018, 11:51 PM

I only like it because its functional. Aesthetic downgrade though.

SW19 · 08-25-2018, 10:33 AM

This is a great comparison pic showing how much better the original M2 front bumper looks.It gives the front of the car a more muscular stance.Even if you get the individual painted middle section for the M2C grille,it still doesn’t change the more angular design of the kidneys,compared to the classic oval design of the original M2 grilles.

Xchange43 · 08-25-2018, 11:22 AM

It depends on the color, i think on a orange color like the one i saw the uni grill is pretty bullshit. On a black or white color its actually amazing. But dont like the rest of the bumper.

However for 1.7E does it include the s55 swap ?

I hope so if not its pretty much rapping my money..

Also does the headlignts are different ?

"Don't go changing to try and please me | You never let me down before | Don't imagine you're too familiar | And I don't see you anymore | Don't go trying some new fashion | Don't change the color of your hair | You always have my unspoken passion | Although I might not seem to care | I love you just the way you are"

Next time if I sing along when my wife is around, I might add (also for my M2): "Don't get a moustache"...

nothingman · 08-25-2018, 02:38 PM

First mod I would do if I bought an M2C is try to find an M2 owner who would switch front bumpers / nose with me.

RedCarrot · 08-25-2018, 08:59 PM

Acura has the beak

Lexus has the predator mouth-shaped grill

Mercedes has front emblem big enough to make Flavor Flav blush

BMW is trying to outdo them all with their dirty sanchez grill
