M2 spotted at the Performance Center M School! (updated with video)

DSTR · 10-16-2015, 11:43 AM

LBB will be nice. Those black wheels will become full BMW silver upon delivery if I order. Terrible they are. Excellent exhaust note.

Many thanks for the video and photo's. Cheers!

Can't wait to drive this thing! Thanks for adding the video

heckyeahbro69 · 10-18-2015, 04:25 PM

ugh I went there today just to try to see it. Upset I missed it.

TheNeonTiger · 10-18-2015, 04:37 PM

That video... Good grief do I want one of these. And that blue! Looks so much more dynamic than photos seem to capture.

Yea, I was definitely on the fence with LBB, but after seeing it on the M2, it really looks good. To seal the deal, I just need to try to see it in person on an M2, but I'm not sure where I'll be able to...

Updated with video:

From the video looks like the wheel gaps aren't that large and fairly even from front to back. What was your perception?

BTWoody · 10-18-2015, 05:54 PM

is it just me or has it got a MPE?

rr006rbc · 10-18-2015, 06:34 PM

Still kinda pisses me off that it sounds better than my F80 stock vs stock lol. Oh well. There's always gonna be something cooler and newer.

Mark's M · 10-18-2015, 06:45 PM

Well I have to say that after seeing the pics and vids, the M2 looks outstanding in LBB. Didn't really like it on the big XM twins but wow, this'd be my color of choice if I'd not splurged on the M3. You guys getting one of these...

Looked fine to me, but I'm not a member of the "slam everything" club.

DS_BMW · 10-18-2015, 07:26 PM

How can people say there is too much wheel gap? It looks just about perfect, in that vid!

The good this about these kind of reflectors is they can be changed

Damn the profile of the car looks awesome. I HAVE to see this car in person ASAP.

"M Exhaust system.

One of the main contributors to the extraordinary dynamic experience on board the new BMW M2 is the optimised exhaust with special flap system. With its four tailpipes, the exhaust system immediately marks the BMW M2 out as a BMW M model and its minimal exhaust back-pressure ensures perfect engine cycles. Added to which, the electrically controlled flap delivers the distinctive BMW M engine soundtrack across the entire rev range without pushing volume levels to their stipulated limits. In addition, drivers can use the Driving Experience Control switch to select a driving mode and a preconfigured sound to go with it."

mrduder · 10-18-2015, 09:48 PM

is it just me or does the exhaust note on the M2 sound way deeper than the M3/M4?

Reedomn · 10-18-2015, 10:01 PM

So I just realized that this sounds like a 6mt. That first shift on the track !!???

ORIGIN M. · 10-18-2015, 10:24 PM

Alumac · 10-18-2015, 10:30 PM

The M2 reminds me of the original Cayman. A car capable of so much more held back.

Man...so that means we will have to wait about 10 years for a "GT4" equivalent M2.

Confirmed...M2 CSL in 2026 haha.
