Agreed - and I think they look a lot better in the dual-color guise.

I think black wheels look awesome when you're up close and a car is sitting still - but you sort of lose the design as you get further away or when the car is moving.

Let's hope all black isn't the only option for the 788Ms.

Updated with all the M2 Competition colours, see updated 1st post with these colours...

Hope you'll enjoy the renders.

I'll be doing more updates with optional features...

Cheers!

Thanks,the updated render looks great.Alpine White is going to look good with all of the standard black trim on the car,including the black wheels.Sunset Orange doesn’t look anything like your render.I saw a Sunset Orange 3 series at my dealer this week and it is actually a very rusty orange color.It doesn’t look good IMO.They should have just used Valencia Orange as the orange color on the M2 Competition.It looks way better.Now i just have to decide if i am going to order the car in Alpine White or Long Beach Blue.

I have to agree with your assessment of Sunset Orange.

Thanks! Your HS is too grey. Think more half way between your render of the HS and AW and I think it would be much closer!

I zoomed in and stared at this for 5m straight.

That's why I like the 437M wheels, all black with machined face. It really depends on the car. If it's a black car I would want black wheels with machined face, but I wouldn't want the wheels to be completely black. Don't like cars that are completely murdered out, they are too monochrome looking. If it's a light colored car such as HKS or MW I'd want the wheels to be all black. This is all subjective of course, but IMO it's all about the right contrast between the cars color and the wheels.

Definitely depends on the car - but generally I am a big fan of contrast between the wheels and the color of the car, including the window trim, CF bits, and the like. That's one of the reasons you can take an AW car and really make it "pop".

I too am really interested in the HKS, which should lend itself to a nice look with dark wheels, but we will see what they end up doing.

Good point and I agree with you - but the color in the render looks nice, too bad we don't have a few more options in the color palate for the M2/M2C

Wilsm2 · 04-05-2018, 12:41 PM

I was at my dealers sorting out my MPE, I was informed they will get the full spec and price of the M2 comp around the 24th April.

jeff@autocouture · 04-05-2018, 02:14 PM

oh I hope it looks close to this!

Will there be no hood bump? Isn't it supposed to utilize a version of the S55?

DieGrüneHölle · 04-05-2018, 02:32 PM

My dealer confirmed you will not be able to retrofit new M mirrors, because the current M2 isn't a real M car.

They will just fall off....

The only thing that matters is the S55. Just saying

ChrisK · 04-05-2018, 02:44 PM

This looks HOT! I hope the wheels look like this!

I believe the detuned s55 wont need a top mounted intercooler thus not need the bump.

I would really prefer the s55 to the n55 but i couldn't just get the base comp. I would be kicking myself later if i didn't get the seats, brakes and new wheels.

Those are the 763M wheels, currently available for the M2. Unless they change something (doubtful) they will fit the M2c.

Could you do a four door?

...nevermind.
