Front quarter panel vent with or without hood vents?

Is a front quarter panel vent and hood vent overkill? If you could only do one is the vented hood the only way to go??

Not a fan. Doesn’t follow any design motifs from the car.

Why does it matter what we think. Do you!

I think the vented hood looks stellar. I’m seriously considering it, but it’s big spend for something that provides no discernible difference in performance.

The vents in the fenders are a bit much for me. But the non-vented carbon work well (the evolve video shared in this thread)

I enjoy hearing what my community thinks about the minutia of this platform. That's why most of us are here. Our shared enthusiasm. If I had a problem thinking for myself I would have completely missed out on this car.
Since what other people think doesn't matter why are you here reading what other people think???

My comment was specifically on the aesthetics of mods you or anyone might do.

I really don't care what others think about my wheel choices or interior choices about the car I drive.

Obviously I value my community insight on ALL things G87 M2. You drive an I4M50. Enough said. Enjoy.

And I have an M2 in Twilight with the carbon package on order and own a few other cars.

My i4 M50 has factory 20" wheels and individual leather. So I'm not sure what you are implying, besides there is something wrong with a BMW EV that has 540hp and 590lb-ft of torque as a daily driver.

I irony of a I4M50 owner telling me I shouldn't be concerned with what other people think about aesthetics is funny as hell. At least you live by your code. I value my fellow M2 owners opinions about all things M2. If you don't so be it.

Oh, I get it you don't like the i4. That's a personal choice that I respect, but the difference between you and me is that you seem to have a snarky and superior attitude.

But I would suspect you also don't like the M3 and M4 for the same aesthetic reasons as the i4, since the front grill is a love hate relationship for most. That's perfectly fine.

You don't have to buy one or like it.

Clearly we share some agreement because I happen to like an M2 enough to buy one.

You are right. I know you meant well. I truly hate that car. To hear an I4M50 driver even use the word Aesthetic was triggering. I apologize.
