Few GIFs and pics from a BMW configurator, including M2 vs M235i morphs

goj · 10-26-2015, 11:03 AM

Oh my...if I bought one I would go with Long Beach Blue and put the 100% silver wheels on it. More my style than the black.

Awesome visual! Thanks!

Based on the white image/photoshop previous, no, they look hideous on the M2 though I suspect they are somewhat out of proportion there.

I have PM's turned off. I got flooded with PM's asking about stuff all the time.

I haven't asked for about a week or so, but I got confirmation that I would get the first allocation available since I "ordered" my car in June. So I'm not that worried and will just wait a few weeks and see. Have you got a real production date now?

I love how the M Sport models look happy and the real M models look angry or menacing. Look at front bumpers on all comparisons (X5, M3, 335, etc) all of the M sports are smiling and the M's are frowning

DBE · 10-26-2015, 11:25 AM

Very cool

The LSD in the M2 does help a bit too. I have used RWD cars in the nordic winters for the past decades without ever being stuck so if you just use your brain and have decent tires you'll be just fine. Generally speaking that is, you might have an issue with a lot of cars if you actually DO live on a mountain top!

YOYO1111 · 10-26-2015, 11:28 AM

Silver 431 M's PLEASE!!! Looks so good.

AGAV13 · 10-26-2015, 11:32 AM

Wow, this comparison has truly sold me on the M2. Up to this point I was unsure, now I WANT one bad.

Park at the bottom of the mini mountain

Problem solved!

And walk a mile uphill in snow? That's dedication. I'll just leave it in the garage.

Unless the M2 is like $60k with options. There's no reason I'm getting the 235 over it.

swagon · 10-26-2015, 12:21 PM

Thanks guys

Got bored and photoshopped the F80 18's.

IMHO they really suit the car.

Stop with the mirrors. Change them if you don't like them, who cares. They are mirrors.

M3R1 · 10-26-2015, 12:57 PM

OP, great job!!! Looks like the Fiat 500 Viagra commercial...

chipotle_napkins · 10-26-2015, 01:19 PM

Damn! This is how you differentiate M Sport vs M models

Janerz · 10-26-2015, 02:15 PM

could you morph an M4 with an M2?

Alumac · 10-26-2015, 02:16 PM

Great job!

Very easy to see the difference compared to typical side by side shots.

JasonCSU · 10-26-2015, 03:54 PM

Wow, great way to see the difference in width between the two.

Artemis · 10-26-2015, 05:49 PM

So, apparently the ///M Division gave the M235i some Stanozolol.

Alpine F31 · 10-26-2015, 05:49 PM

Very cool. Thanks for posting!

terrywang · 10-26-2015, 06:11 PM

Brilliant comparison. The M2 looks wider and stand firmer.

LOL

Well I havent received any despite my salesmans earlier claim that it would be feb-mars production.

When I asked him last week he said he fears that BMW will give Sweden late production dates which will result in june delivery(?) hopefully he doesnt know what he is talking about...
