"Very bad" compared to what?

Looking good!

I like black because it hides the busy'ness of the front bumper

Haha tell us how you really feel.

Love the colour but still torn between getting a new M2 or used F80/F82 in YMB.

This thing is going to be a little devil.

No M mirrors not a true M

OK, I'll bite: then let's settle on "an old skool M" or "a vintage M".

Little bulldog BEAST that is!

I love how they Camo'd the emblems. That should throw off the public.

For crying out loud, this is so over played. It's for legal reasons.

Looks like the pics were taken somewhere in the EU. So why does it have US spec front bumper side reflectors?

You do know that BMW is German and they make the car in Germany and it is easier to test it there too?

CARTOON · 12-21-2015, 01:55 PM

Black = boring. LBB is the only color for this car, IMO.

Don't ever recall seeing a US spec BMW tested outside the US.

I have seen lots of them but usually they are camouflaged so you don't think about it as much. This mule is one of the oldest with the final look so it has been featured plenty of times camouflaged before.

hyperzulu · 12-21-2015, 03:37 PM

Wish it was a clean car. The Volvo next to it looks better (the color, I mean). This looks very dirty. Still not sure which color I like most now. I wish they had not gone with LBB. Such a crappy color...

filet.M2c · 12-21-2015, 04:08 PM

Even though the car is dirty, this shot makes it look so menacing

dirty, with winterwheels and many still love it. Imagine it being clean and with the summerset....

how about " MOST COMPETITORS"

Do you really want a list?

If the M2 is correct at US curb weight of 3450 then...

Corvette
Subaru BRZ
Porsche Cayman
a 5 door RS3 has a curb weight of 1520 KG ( 3,351 lb) - AWD
VW GOLF R - CURB WEIGHT 3340 lbs in AWD guise
Nissan 370

Even if we take the generous Euro figure of 1500 KG... there are a couple of AWD cars that weigh around the same..

Any questions?
