What happened to "M-mirrors not being aerodynamic on the 2 series" excuse?

I’m just talking about how the vin info has now changed from calling the car Competition to Cs as per the post by Artemis today.

I'm holding out for the rebirth of puke yellow, which will make all the other colors much more valuable :-)

thanks. I wouldn't be surprised for all the VIN sheets to come out with B5830T0 instead of S55 ( as a place holder ) at some point.. anything can change.

meh... it's just baby steps. I'd love to see BMW get a little crazy like they do with their concepts. This is nothing.
It's the financial executives telling the designers to play it safe. Boring.

Now then.. for STLYISTIC purposes.. if they have added some " M mirrors" apparently it will make some buyers feel better about themselves.. or their purchase.. ..... even while they are less aerodynamic. |

that's because it's a 15 year habit for many M fans.
is the race track in California MAZDA RACEWAY LAGUNA SECA or LAGUNA SECA? Actually.. it's LAGUNA SECA since the naming rights purchase was temporary over the last 20 years and now it's back to the original name. Of course... someone new to the game might think that someone calling it LAGUNA SECA is amusing.. |

my 1M has " M mirrors" and it is one of the highest Coefficients of drag for modern BMWs. it's about as aerodynamic as a brick.. but its got those cool DUMBO (oops " M mirrors )
Heck the X1 probably has a better Cd than the M2. EDIT - Oh wait.. it does ! http://autotk.com/dimensions/bmw/x1/2016/ 2016 BMW X1 coefiicient of drag 0.29 2016 BMW M2 Coefifficent of drag 0.35 So.. I am confident that BMW is CORRECT.. that " M Mirrors" will likely INCREASE drag, making the M2 SLOWER. However.. there's no accounting for TASTE.. So there you go! Forget performance.. it's all about STYLE. Last edited by M3 Adjuster; 01-23-2018 at 07:07 PM.. |
