Lol! I've only heard it referenced with regards to the M2 without the S55 (OG) and the M2 with the S55.

Why is the front so low? Is the car on air suspension?

How much ground clearance do you lose in the front on an OG M2 with stock suspension?
Let alone an already lowered one....

But that's a very nice lip, for sure. Doesn't looked tacked on at all.

Hey Jack. Happy customer here with your M2 Comp mirrors. Amaing looking splitter.

This will sound ungrateful given the work that's gone into it, but I'm after an ABS plastic splitter as I'm not a big carbon fan and there are only a small handful of options (Lightweight being the main one). Are you able to offer that design in plastic or is that a whole different set of issues?.

From the moment the original BMW M2 premiered back in 2016 it became a halo for the BMW M brand, despite it being the “entry-level” model. Its brutish front and rear arches combined with the more aggressive bumpers ensured that it wasn’t to be mistaken for a normal 2 Series.

Not only did it have the coupé looks, it had the performance to back it up, plus 4 useable seats. This made it a compelling all-round package with almost no direct competitor on the market.

Fast-forward to 2018 and the M2 was given a mild facelift with the M2 Competition. A new front fascia and the S55 drivetrain from the F8x M3/M4. With this update, BMW M Performance also introduced a whole host of new aero parts. Chief among which was the M Performance Front Lip. It’s arguably one of BMWs most widely sort-after M Performance mods to-date and was not compatible with the original BMW M2.

Enter, TRE “T-R-E”.

As an active member of the Bimmerpost community, we’re always catching up with customers and fellow car-enthusiasts; hunting for the latest news, leaks and insights. By chance, we stumbled upon a thread of M2 owners that had been on the search for the M Performance lip for the N55 M2. They’d been in contact with a number of vendors but with little success.

It was then that our development began and the TRE Front Lip Project for the N55 M2 commenced.



Development went on for months to ensure the fitment and quality matched/exceeded that is synonymous with the rest of the TRE product range.

Despite COVID playing its hand and a few other setbacks, we are incredibly proud to be launching this lip in July 2020.

Specifications:
  • Designed and developed in United Kingdom by the AUTOID team
  • Pre-preg Carbon Fibre (The lightest, strongest and most durable variant of carbon fibre)
  • OEM Fit and Finish, retaining existing bolts and screws. Plus Additional Support Bolts for increased security.
  • OEM+ Design, preserving the same design language used in the M Performance range of accessories.
  • Two-year warranty

Order Now

Please note that we're unable to match demand at the moment. Unless stated “In-stock”, we expect orders to take up to 4 weeks to fulfil, though we will always aim to better this.

Take a look at our photos and drop us a comment on your thoughts!

Special thank you to Plush Automotive for lending us their one of a kind BMW M2. It features an RKP roof, Edison Composites Hood, M2C Seats and huge number of other mods. In fact, I'm confident in saying its one of the most heavily modified M2s on the road in Europe.
It does look good.

What is the additional drop off the road surface clearance. It doesn't look as if the clearance diminishes that much!

Looks great!

Is it possible to get a few pics of a not-so-lowered M2? I would love to run this lip but it looks like I would leave carbon fiber fragments everywhere I go.

Just by looking at the pics, the lip barely extends past the bottom of the left and right vents and goes straight across. very minimal ground clearance is lost

Good point.

Although, given my experience with my current front lip (which I've absolutely destroyed, a byproduct of driving a lowered car with a lip), the center clearance is important as well, given it is the most forward position. Thus, when entering any sort of incline, you have to go at an angle. I wonder if it's possible to mount a metal plate or plastic under to protect the lip

sounds like you want something like Sliplo: https://www.amazon.com/SLIPLO-Univer.../dp/B086KZGZBD

I'm very well aware, I own one. I was just pointing out that it's easy to tell it isn't a comp because of the front bumper.
