BSM G87 M2 spotted in Munich

Instagram reel. It looks like dark grey for some reason. Might be my iPhone?

It has 827M wheels. Too bad they're not in the Gold Bronze finish to contrast and compliment BSM.

Oh wow it does look grey. That might be due to the tiny water droplets highlighting the flake funny, with a mix of the overcast sky

The blue calipers on black look great. I like those rims for a slightly bigger vehicle, I think they are a little busy for this car.

I would have never known since I have an account. Nevertheless, I usually post something from Instagram and you guys say I do not have an account and cannot see it. All bases are covered in this thread.

That sapphire coming through.

827's look good. I'm happy to have them.

Edit: Are the brake calipers blue or black? It looks like dark blue a little.

Agreed... a little drop and small spacers they will look even better. Maybe I won't have to buy aftermarket wheels for a year

I'm down for the drop - thinking between 10-20mm at most. I think 827's stock are pretty good and don't need spacers.

The standard blue. It is darker than one would suspect and is the best conservative option.

if you look at the pictures with time stamps of :05 and :08, I think the spacers are necessary. Goin to wait and see it in person, but I like the tire all the way out to the fender edge... I dont like the "tucked under" look. Some phat ass tires could look sick too.
Maybe I am the weird one here, but I am looking for less grip

I disagree with Vin Diesel. I DO NOT live my life 1/4 mile at a time.


I want to get sideways.

When I saw BSM on a new car (not a M2) in my dealer showroom, it looked like that (I believe I have made some posts stating...should have taken pics). It was also heavily metallic with large flakes. Did not look like true black color.

Same. To my unsophisticated eye, those wheels look like a honeycomb fucked a waffle iron.

It’s weird because I do think the 827m looks too busy in pics and I was close to getting the 826m. I held off because I wanted to see the 827m in person first before making a decision. After seeing a M4 CSL in person, I liked the look of the 827m more than the 826m by a smidge. And the dealership did have a M3 with black 826m wheels on the same showroom floor so it was easy to compare them. Maybe because it was on a M4 body but the 827m doesn’t look as busy irl as they do in pics. I have a set sitting in the garage waiting to throw on my M2.

Those who think these are a bit too busy and may prefer something like the 826m but wanna get something a little more unique rather than getting them in bi-color or black, I would take a hard look at the Jahre Edition 826m wheels in either Gold Bronze or Matte grey. I think they would look fantastic on the G87. I’m actually considering getting a set to alternate with the 827m wheels at some point.

These are also terrible picture/camera angles, fuzzy, rainy, and no center caps on a car with a clashing paint job. It's an overall bad look.

True and I didn’t even realize the center caps were missing on these.
