Oh. Wait. They were manufactured in Germany, right? Kidding. Just kidding. The Cord/Auburn/Dusenberg Museum in Auburn, IN is well worth a day if you're ever in the area-- I took my dad there as a day trip when we were visiting the AF Museum in Dayton, OH for a few days. (And THAT'S a museum that's worth traveling from anywhere in the world for.)

Wow I wasn't expecting it to look good. I like it!
It does look like a z4 in the front with a bit of Jaguar F type mixed into the hips but I actually think it looks great and far less awkward than the current 2 which never looked quire right to me. |

A swing and a miss!! Not on this one, on the big-brother. Had they put this front end treatment on the G8x, they'd have had yet another ticket to my bank-accounts.
Love the render, super aggressive - even if the headlights themselves aren't my favorite, the nose could have been well worse. Kind of hoping this is true-to-production, as it's got a lot of M8 in the front clip, exactly what us F8x lovers were hoping was in store for the 4-door successor.

Yikes. The pointy part of the headlights is awful. Same with the front bumper. I'd be disappointed with this design.

How do you tell people your opinion on performance cars should not be trusted without actually saying “my opinion on sports cars should not be trusted…”

G42 M240i xDrive Coupé: head lights revealing the 'pointy section' + kidneys + ///M style side mirrors (source: here): The BMW 2002 Hommage (see here): presented in 2016 - and not forgotten. ("Occupying centre stage at the front end is the familiar BMW kidney grille. Here, it takes the form of a low-standing, connected unit, offering a flesh slant on the kidneys’ historical rendering as a cohesive design element. Sculpted, black double-bars add finesse to the details of the broad-set grille. Like the BMW 2002, the BMW 2002 Hommage also has two single headlights that provide the striking front end with its outer limits.") E20 2002 Turbo (see here):

The front reminds me of a Kia and the boxier look is not great in my opinion. If this is the last major M2 update we get before electrification I'm keeping my F87.

This is what I meant, why didn't BMW use the Vision M Next Concept grill for M3/M4 and now the new M2?
Wouldn't it look better? To me it does. Of course lights and bumper would have to be modified more to fit better together, etc but this grill to me is much better than the horrible vertical grills. Sorry that my Photoshop skills suck but it is an idea, maybe someone can do it better or even try this grill on the new M2 render. Thanks.
