You nailed it.

I dig São Paulo yellow on the M2 but really don’t like those M-performance bits. The front lip along with the side skirts are meh, do the little winglets have to be that high?? It can’t be functional. And what’s going on with those fender trims?? Looks like something from Autozone or Pep Boys

To each their own I guess, this will appaeal to buyers otherwise BMW wouldn’t have made it… right? lol

There is no coherence in design or function to any of these ‘M’ parts. It boggles the mind how these people are paid to design this junk.

i think it looks pretty cool, i mean most special cars with parts on them don't add that much. it's like the difference of the gt3 and the gt3 rs. i would say the back is a little bit over the top, but most of the other parts are nice

I’ve got zero issues hijacking this thread after the video I’ve just watched and have attached.
In the real world the engineers at N are bypassing the cheesy shit and cracking on with cars that are made to perform, without the chintzy trinkets attached.
Ev or not, wtf are BMW (M) smoking?
Never have I felt so polarised in my opinion, these N guys are just everything BMW marketing make M out to be.
Fcking imagine this team working on M cars….
I’m sick to death of all this plastic M performance s##t that does NOTHING along with the skittles colours.
Some new kids in town, and their showing us all how we’re being led down the garden path with a premium attached.

I like the color, seen it in person on X4M and M3 but I don't like all the M-perf stuff, it's just too much.

The dude running the show over at Hyundai’s //N use to be the head of ///M

He was poached because of BMW’s rule 60…https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/25/business/25bmw.html

Hyundai snatched him, now look at him GO… 💨

It looks like an emoji smiley face with its red tongue sticking out.

I like your pics of the exterior of the Welt. Cool that you could stop in there.

Depends on the shade and car. Austin yellow was miles better than this garbage version of yellow imo

So this is a LCI? What's actually different?

20 more horsepower

The real LCI comes for the 2026 MY

It’s a semi LCi nothing you’d really notice

Love the colour, suits an M-car & such a nice change from grandpa grey or boring black.
Not a fan of the mperformance add ons but thats why we have the aftermarket industry & anyone silly enough to buy add ons direct from BMW is a fool anyway.
G87 in SPyellow, buckets, lowered & on 1000M wheels, job done.👍
If u want more, an aluminium vented hood, a ducktail ala M4 csl, & a front lip. Simple as that. 👍

Not everyone wants to be noticed

Absolutely love bright yellows that have a greenish hue vs mustard yellow. It’s a fun color and glad it’s not for everyone, looking forward to seeing an M2 SPY on the streets.
