True, but these people also can't tell a Ferrari from a Lamborghini.

While even I think the M4 is far to similar to M-sport 4 series, I think the M3 is vastly different from the 3 series.

The flares on the M2 seem to help a lot, but as many have said, the wheels really set it off.

I am still stuck between AW and LBB (granted I still pursue the M2 after pricing is released) and if I choose to be subtle AW would fit nicely. AW will also look better with carbon bits and what not. I also do not think the 18s will look bad on this car. Some guys are fitting 295 and 305 tires on them in the M3/4 forums and with a drop/ spacers it may actually look great on the M2.

I actually like it in white as well. It's actually rather understated which is just fine.

Storm trooper white.

Rebel Long beach blue - in your face

Imperial gray - darth vaders henchmen

Vader Black- as menacing as vader himself

I would only get it in black anyway...

Ew, AW makes it look chunky

It is a test mule, but it just has the normal 18" 640M winter setup you can get for the M3/M4 as well.

raysspl · 11-24-2015, 03:09 AM

Those wheels definitely look like standard m-sport wheels

ace_maverick · 11-24-2015, 03:39 AM

18" + AW = a terrible looking M2

eau_rouge · 11-24-2015, 04:00 AM

It looks so cute with the 18" 640M and in AW trim

. This definitely needs 19" winter tires as well.

I like the chunky look of the M2; that's the best part. It's the AW fangs...I had no problem with the fangs on the other colors. Suddenly in white the fangs look like Lego pieces. At least they can be wrapped any way I want.

Nahlem · 11-24-2015, 05:17 AM

I tried to reduce the noise in the pictures but this was a real challenge to do awful when camera phones photos so much noise in the pictures.

agreed...that set looks like it was taken off a 320i that was lying around

MCarsFan · 11-24-2015, 07:39 AM

The side mirrors are a disappointment. First mod - M4 side mirrors
Those wheels need to be 19" and powder costed black!

Yeah, cars without wheels look awful

M3M2R8Racer · 11-24-2015, 09:56 AM

Yes, AW is definitely my only choice. I can add M livery to the body and make it stands out! Yes, those wheels got to go. I guess it's the winter tires wheel for this owner.
Btw, if you are picking it up in Europe, M+S tires are required all the way to April 15th. I don't think US customer will have that problem picking up the 1st batch of M2's.

miiipilot · 11-24-2015, 11:30 AM

I can see those "fangs" getting beat up with road debris if this is your DD. big front facing surface area :-(

I like it, don't get me wrong, but the big flat surface area is gonna take damage.

iatacs19 · 11-24-2015, 12:00 PM

AW while nice, doesn't show the lines as well as the darker colors.

gazosnic · 11-24-2015, 12:54 PM

doesnt look that great. Car looks like it is trying too hard to be a boy racer 2 series. I would take a e46 m3, e92 m3 or m4 over this.

Warranty P · 11-24-2015, 02:43 PM

Looks rather disappointing in real life.

Pentium · 11-24-2015, 04:05 PM

Bad photo quality and without the wheels

No matter what Alpine White still my favorite BMW color ever!

Bee Pee · 11-24-2015, 04:14 PM

Some photos of an M2 on m4 FG 513m 18s would be good to see......

Thanks

Honestly, this is a very good point. I'm 19 months into my m235i lease, car has 12500 miles on it and I'm starting to see stone chips on the front bumper.

The M2, particularly if you got it in White would show a ton of blemishes on the fangs...
