M235i Racing looks great, as a race car. The actual design elements clash all over the place, and look terrible imo. The tacked on front bulges just completely clash with the design language.

The M2 that we got is a perfect M street car. I actually think the M235i racing looks far less aggressive and is the more bulbous one. The rear flares on that think... yikes. It's like a loaf of bread that's just beginning to rise.

Of course this is just my honest opinion, but feel free to bash me and call me an idiot.

Hell no for me. That M235i screams out boy racer. This is a daily driver for me. The M2 is plenty of stance for that.

.... anyone else wish BMW would give the 'stripes' a break?

FFS, they're like Frank's hot sauce - they put that shit on everything.

Idiot.

I'm kidding man, I couldn't help myself - the bait was too strong to resist.

I'm wondering if they know that no one is going to pay 5k for the MPE so they wanted to showcase the diffuser with the stock tailpipes. Looks good.

Dude...consider the source. Just another F80/82 owner taking a shot at the M2 anyway they can.

Is the spoiler the same as the M235i? Not complaining, just want to verify because If so I'm going to order one soon.

Is there an indent in this one, too?

Just a note. Talking to the guys at AutoTecknic. They are planning more parts.

As it stands though, the paddle shifters will fit the M2, as will their mirrors, as they tell me it's the same mirrors as on the F30.

Good point here! I will still consider it until Canadian prices are out... I have "high" expectations

Do you mean diffuser? For some reason, the MP car there didn't have the MP exhaust.

I do agree that the diffuser is god damn sexy.
