BMW M2 spotted near BMWNA

Needsdecaf · 10-21-2015, 03:06 PM

Man I remember when Tice's corner marketplace used to be Tice's Farm. Such good memories of going there and getting produce, local honey, homemade candy, caramel apples in the fall....

Now it's a freaking Pier One.

Oh yeah, cool car.

misterbeemer · 10-21-2015, 03:11 PM

That car is pretty tall. Its as tall as the Honda Accord. :-/

No, I don't hate it completely just 90% I hoped for vision gt styling all around.

I don't think the gas door is big enough.

The proportions look funky.

Lowering and spacers will help a lot.

It is the rear bumper that is bothering me in those 3/4 shots...looks like Sir Mix-a-lot or the Kardashians got a hold of it.

(putting my flame suit on......okay, here we go

)

To my eyes, the M235i is a better looking car than the M2. I love the flares of the M2, but everything else on the M235i looks better to me. I know the M2 is more car, I'm not saying the M235i is better than an M2. It's not. But to me, it is better looking, especially the front end.

biglare · 10-21-2015, 03:51 PM

Nice!

That blue stitching tho!

I completely agree! M235i front bumper and body lines seem to flow better than the M2's.

I agree. It looks like they may have dialed back on the teal. It seems pretty close to Atlantis Blue, now. Example below.
Very nice looking car.

From the looks in this video it's sitting lower than in the pics posted here. All I'd do is lower it, put on wheel spacers and paint those fugly reflectors. She'd be perfect.

E92 M Sport · 10-21-2015, 04:36 PM

Nice work. Good to see a 6mt in use.

There is just one small problem: it has the same weight as the M3.

Processed photoshoot on a highway vs a shady and bright potato shot in a parking lot.

I could not disagree more. M2 looks far more aggressive while the M235i manages to blend into the see of cars.

Still love both cars.

(Not my instagram):

sexy as hell.

jstnstr · 10-21-2015, 05:09 PM

I think it looks great. Rear end takes a little getting used to but with a spoiler, blacked out reflectors, and maybe a diffuser it will look nice.

classyfast · 10-21-2015, 05:22 PM

Awesome creeper stalker status on the pics!! Lol. But damn the car doesn't have the curb appeal I thought it would have. Looks like a slightly modded m235, sitting high as hell and bubbly. Not 100% sold on the car yet.

Awesome photos nonetheless.

MWM · 10-21-2015, 05:28 PM

fangs look a bit ghey, eh?

every BMW I've ever seen has a square fuel-filler door. Why round all a sudden? Look cheap.

stripper M3 better value

Here are the rest of the pictures from the owner of the Instagram account. He sent me these pics.

LBB looks darker indoors. Gorgeous color.

Look how wide the rear fender is. This is probably the best photo showing how wide the M2 is. 3rd picture down.

But good job on the investigative work
OP.

Agree with you.
That huge mouth in front bumper looks weird, Shd have been same size of M3/4
