Wouldn't make much sense to wander from their current design language.
New m3/m4 also having a two piece grill

And this is how tyranny starts. When BMW will not hold up their time honoured constitution.

I don't think the "leaked" front bumper looks bad at all, interesting design language for sure. But I don't think it's real, just looks too different from the G42.

For the record: BMW 763M wheels (BMW M Performance Parts for F87 M2 + standard on M2 CS, M3 CS and M4 CS) are made for BMW by SAI, a Taiwan based wheel manufacturer for several premium car manufacturers (see here and here).

IMHO the 763M wheels are amongst the best BMW wheels (design + quality).

not sure if it's the real deal or not, but I feel like as BMW is M-ifying the M240i so much with the hood bump and the mirrors, it's probably not too unrealistic to change the headlights and the whole face... tomzpot mobdro

Wait... What has China got to do with the new M2?
Thinking it might be the biggest market for the upcoming model.

Pass…

There are clues from the photos:

• Assembled in China (same image source as the CN market only G28 i3 L bits)

• Proportions suggest something based on transverse model architecture.

That's exactly what I see from those images. What it actually is…I don't have a clue.

I didn't think there was a chance in hell that bumper would be from the M2.
But now this picture leaked of the 3-series LCI headlights and in the back you can see what look like 2-series headlights but with gloss black extensions which could make them fit into that M2 bumper.



Edit: Actually on second thoughts...putting the 2 pics next to each other. I don't think they would fit honestly

The headlights look like the last generation 6 series honestly, before it was replaced with the 8 series.

LOL, really Lemetier..... half a day after you say it's not for the M2, new spy shots come out with less camo showing it is exactly for the G87 M2
