A little bit off topic: have been learning honing my new photoshop skills on one of my favorite BMW, the i8. It does need to look a little sportier though...

Modifications:
- M3 GTS "Fire Orange" colour
- Lowered
- Wider tyres (F/R)
- Replaced OEM wheels with Ultra lightweight BBS RI-D
- All black areas are carbon fiber including front grills, side sills, front valances, black bonnet top vent, roof.
- Blue piping replaced with matte silver.

Your thoughts??

I really wish BMW would release pics of the M2 like this, so we could easily decide what color we want. Multiple M2s have been built in all 4 colors. Give us some pics!

Here you go... Stock appearance... Looks pretty in white IMO...
Can someone do this with a power dome hood and the correct M mirrors.

Love the 359s.
I have them on my 328i already....straight swap to my new M2, but will likely be on Winter tires up here in Canada.

M2 in Mineral Grey can't go wrong with 359M Y-spoke Competition wheels (silver [1M / E92 M3 ZCP] | black [E92 M3 GTS] | powdercoated gunmetal).

Artemis, what visual modifications do you have planned for your car?

Damn it... that white render looks good too. I didn't think I would like AW on this car.

Me on board of it.

As always, I won't touch the engine, engine management, suspension, brakes, etc.

But I'm keeping my eyes open for BMW M Performance Parts + what Akrapovič has in store around - I guess - Autumn/Winter 2016 for some added aural pleasure.

And hopefully black or blackline reflectors are made available for the rear bumper.

Winter wheels set: maybe either 359M Y-Spoke Competition wheels (eventually powdercoated to get the gunmetal look) or BBS CH-R in Satin Titanium finish (gunmetal) (yup, here I [may] go again).

May I ask why? Both those wheels weigh more than the wheels that will come on the M2.

Because I prefer to have two different sets of wheels and tires throughout the year (easy swapping around Spring and Autumn):
  • alloys A + summer tires (Michelin Pilot Super Sport)
  • alloys B + winter tires (Michelin Pilot Alpin)
So, I will definitely use my stock 437M 19" alloys, but not decided yet whether - in the end - these will sport my summer or winter tires.

Likely 437M for the summer and 359M or BBS CH-R for the winter (at least for 2016). And yes, I don't mind sporting 19" instead of 18" during winter time. As a matter of fact, I always did it with my former 1M - no probs. Winters can be chilly over here, but not extreme.

That's why BMW didn't put them on...because they don't fit on the M2. :
