Either that or the photographer ran circles around the car on its way back to the M skunkworks.

I said the same thing a while back, but we have strong rumors that suggest no vents there. Maybe on the CSL variant, but basically, if they're on the car, they'd be functional. The only reason to have them back there would be brake ventilation, which won't happen on the base M2.

So i took down one of the photos and found one of mine with similar angle funny to compare, It looks like the M2 is the bloated cousin of the M235i when put next to each other. But still awesome.

Just realized the right side (or could be your left lol) daytime corona lights are out on the M2

Guessing they are LED and just fire out of sequence.

Looking really good! I think mineral white would have been the better white... But I understand why BMW went with Alpine.

Does this confirm no hood budge or mirror caps like the M3/4? Also what about full LED option?

No hood bulge just like the 1M. And the M4 mirrors will come at the last second just like the 1M

WTH? Literally, do you not see those fangs in the front? This is a very aggressive front bumper. And they are showing more of the cut outs on the side.

They're not out. The corana rings are not constantly on. They flicker at an extremely high frequency. The camera just caught the light at an "off" position.

We're going to need to get used to bitter response from 135i and 235i owners. It probably won't ever stop.

Of course, it's a bit more contoured, has some more details. But it's that nearly seamless lip across the bottom. The M235i has much more definition. This just looks wider. Could just be the camo, but we'll see.... As of now, it literally just looks like a beefy version of this:

I could not disagree more. Looks absolutely nothing like that.

I'll take mine in BSM. Please.

I must be the only one who prefers JB over BSM. I figure if you're going to go black, go Akon, not Ludacris.

me too, are you planning on doing an upgrade? i almost bought the 135i a few years ago but i chose an evo x over that, im hoping the M2 is a nice upgrade

I'd like too, but it'd probably be a bit out of my budget. Got the 135i about a year and a half ago, and I'm still thoroughly enjoying it.

This is all parallax... Your pic is from a higher vantage point, so it looks narrower. The are functionally the same width at the lights, same hood, same windshield etc. this pic on the right makes the whole thing seem more squat and wide.
