Introducing the BMW 2002 Hommage Concept Based on the M2 (Updated with our live pics)

benzosnenzos · 05-23-2016, 03:32 AM

I'm in love

Danyutz · 05-23-2016, 06:16 AM

Thanks for the live photos, helped me observe even more details. What a fantastic design.

kugasman · 05-23-2016, 07:18 AM

Love that color, looks awesome with the M stripes. Wheels are great too.

What a disrespect to such an iconic piece of BMW history...

The apple has fallen far from the tree.

SGMDream · 05-23-2016, 11:45 AM

Loving the white one, the lines are bold but I kinda like it.

raysspl · 05-23-2016, 12:29 PM

I think we can all at least agree the rear decklid & wheels look good

Damn i love that car. By miles my favorite hommage

PARTS@STBMW · 05-23-2016, 01:22 PM

Phenomenal!

KevinGS · 05-23-2016, 01:26 PM

It looks like a great looking 'kit car' with real design potential. I bet it would look really good in a toned-down version that's production-ready.

And keep the wheels....

Build it, BMW!

I always thought that was a very ugly hommage.
The front looks like an angry rabbit

Waste of R&D money!

Any interior pics? Or dud I miss these?

StatenEye · 05-23-2016, 06:25 PM

Really, this looks good. Nice photos.

chrisbmwcy · 05-24-2016, 06:28 AM

Love it!

adc · 05-24-2016, 08:22 AM

So many people got their panties in a knot over why this concept has certain similar design cues as the Charger. It's really simple, it's supposed to evoke the 60s/70s design, which both the original Charger and the 2002 belong to.

I for one would love to see bmw return to the shark nose front styling, with the grille angled inversely, and the "eyes" under a brow. All the old BMW's obeyed this style and looked great in the process.

I absolutely love this concept. I'd swap my M3 for this in a heartbeat.

Time for BMW to become more adventurous for the mainstream cars, now that there are so many 3 series near clones from all sorts of manufacturers.

Alpina_B3_Lux · 05-25-2016, 03:27 AM

This looks tremendously ugly. Don't know which drugs the designers were on while they sketched this abomination, but I find it horrendous.

martin mustang · 05-25-2016, 07:08 AM

Had a pleasure to get the keeper/minder to rev the V8 on it, while at a launch party of a new dealer here in Galway, amazing car for sure!

Nice video! But I am pretty sure the 328 Hommage uses a N54T straight six engine. It sounded like a N54 with a really loud PE(in a good way!) to me when I heard it at the Concours show.

Proper! Now build the damn thing!

BMW you might want to update the door handle indent first, it looks out of place and doesn't keep a clean line. Otherwise I love it, build it, sell it, and be done with it!
