It looks just great to me.
Depends if you like looking at a giant steel scrotum, not into scrots myself.
LoL

If you're not into steel ball sacks, you can always paint it pink, then it'll instead look like a cow udder..

You certainly could, and you would be guaranteed not ever to see another one like it ever, but it would be original. Maybe some diary farmer will give it a shot.

Not making fun of diary farmers, I love MILK.

Have BMW started to paint the rear muffler as standard?

Just looking at pics on the updated UK website. Apologies if this is old news.

That pic certainly looks like it.

Are they the dark rear lights that are coming from Spring 2019?

Yes, lights are darker on the 2020 cars.

I don't think it's painted for the next MY.. For the promotional material, they airbrush the muffler so it doesn't look as hideous.. It was like that for first set of brochures..

How deceptive..

That's the reason I was looking on the website. I'd seen an instagram post saying the M240 was getting darker rear lights, was seeing if the M2 got them too. Then I saw the back box....

Yes if the m240 is getting darker lights, the M2 will as well

I imagine they'll be pretty expensive, but I think they'll be a nice (and no doubt popular) retrofit item.

This would only be implemented on 2020 MY cars, not 2019..

Apologies if we're a little on edge about that damn grey/stainless muffler. The rest of the car is pretty damn sweet so it's become our collective bitching focus!

Nice looking car you got there!

That is just photoshop. The German configurator had the black muffler from the beginning. In fact, I just checked and BMW USA shows black muffler for 2019 M2C configurator as well. BMW knows they fucked up with this muffler and this is their way of trying to hide it. If you look at some press releases, they heavily edited/photoshopped the muffler in some of the pics as well. However, it'd be nice if they really made 2020MY with black muffler.

So it still has visible cojones..

This is why I like to see for myself, any claims..
But at the same time delicately balance not being overly pushy about the claimant's sources..

I've confirmed that the taillights will be tinted black for 2020.. Personally, I find that unnecessary but I guess they have to throw in some new styling for the new MY.
