Okay fine, we're saying the stickers look like shit regardless of what it pays homage to....there's tasteful mods then there are shit mods, that looks like shit

M240i? No, been driving 3-series and simply wanted a smaller BMW with better handling and hard-driving endurance. As far as "look at me" design - that's the front bumper mostly, which is initially reminiscent of Japanese aftermarket. Another possibly eye catching design feature are the flared rear wheel arches, but those have more obvious practicality. One last thing would be the exhaust sound in sport when simply driving slowly in a neighborhood - "look at me". My third AW BMW.

I think most people here know damn well it's supposed to be like the 2002 Turbo livery.

But I think most people are also tired of the same designs over and over again. Let's get one thing clear: The M2 and 2002 have almost nothing in common. If the M2 came with something like an "S20" in the engine bay, I might understand

Sans livery the overall look is ok. Sounds great. I think a 1.26 the lip is acting as a leaf collector? Would I do this - no... but it's not my car. The wheels look cool with the black paint... classic and the power dome and exhaust are good additions.

Laptime performance needs to look up roll center and aero drag, nothing worse than a street car that thinks its a race car, set up by people who do not understand either. Race seats with 3 point seatbelts? Darwin is watching......

Typically this level of lairy is relegated to teens with 10-year-old cars, but hey add a drone EDM, public roads and stickers? you're halfway to your imsa hard card.

I think the car below is his American cousin

Comparison Leightweight, Laptime, Versus and M2 serie.
As you see the standard M2 is top!
Must say quite unimpressed of all three...

I don't know what it is called I believe it's a boost meter. But why not intergrade it into idrive instead of it taking up an air vent

The lack of powerdome hood was one reason I went with the M2. At a certain point the car becomes too duchey and makes the owner look like they are saying "look at me".
Kinda like big "M2 turbo" sticker on the rear bumper? :

What drone did you use?

This is a proper car. Do you need a driver to set the fastest lap?

You got everything right in this car. The gearbox is as it should be. Only thing you could do is brakes. Not sure why the guys in the States upgrade their brakes for 55 mph speed limits.

I agree a corvette is a total POS. Looking at this one is an upgrade on the design of the current one. Ohhh well haters gonna hate on this M2 cuz it looks good.
