G87 M2 with aggressive upgrades.

The BMW M2 is a favorite in the tuning community, known for its performance and styling potential. The latest G87 M2 offers numerous high-quality upgrade components, allowing owners to express their unique style.

For this particular G87 M2, we've implemented an array of ADRO carbon fiber components, including a front lip, side skirts, and rear spoiler. Coupled with OEM M Performance carbon fiber air ducts, wing, and mirror covers, the overall aesthetic achieves a strikingly aggressive look. The transformation is completed with the installation of the special 50th-anniversary BMW badges.

Additionally, the owner opted for protective upgrades, such as the OEM Stone Chip Guard and TRE’s underbody protection plate. These features safeguard critical components like the oil cooler, helping to mitigate damage from debris while enjoying the enhanced design.

With these upgrades, the G87 M2 not only looks more formidable but also benefits from improved durability, striking a perfect balance between style and functionality.

I just think the front splitter didn't need the extra middle winglets other than that cool kit. At least they're not huge like the M performance winglets. One thing I do appreciate and maybe I'm old fashioned but the vertical kidney grilles are a classic look.

I like those too, but not for the price. $1500 for a new grill that doesn't add anything but a different look...I'll wait and see if someone comes out with an ABS version of this. I can't explain it, I'm fine paying a premium for a CF splitter and spoiler, I'm just drawing the line at the grill.

Companies are out of their minds with G8X part prices. I've never seen a $1500 grill until shopping for the G87. Then there's the $9,000 exhaust, $1400 mirror covers, $1300 trunk lips, $3-4k wings, $5k hoods, $2k diffusers, $21k body kits, you get the point.

Any company that makes quality parts for the G8X at reasonable prices will make a killing.

I LOVE and am buying the ADRO grill. One of the reasons I’m passing on the M3 (+$20k on my 3 vs 2 build) is so I can blow some mod money

The mirror covers have got to be a troll. Someone was like "hey watch, I bet someone pays for these because they're REAL bad with money" and then two people bought them and now they're never going to be priced accurately.

I love the ADRO grill too. I'll appreciate it from a distance on your car tho, ourlee

Not a fan of the vertical slats grill. Makes it look like any other 2, 3 series etc.

CSL style grill much better if you’re going to change it up.

Also not a winglet fan

I've heard similar sentiments before about this grill. I don't get it, every single generation M3 and the previous M2 all have vertical grills.

Personally, I like them for that reason - heritage. Best argument against them I've heard is the horizontal style grills suit the more horizontal kidneys more.

I am usually in the "to each his/her own" camp, but just a lil too busy front & rear with over-stylized lines & angles that don't seem to serve any useful purpose. The diffuser is particularly mismatched with the rest of the rear end's lines. I don't get the winglets everywhere. Busy busy...

Overall aggressive, though. Can't argue with that!

I think the point is the horizontal grill creates differentiation and makes folks know it’s an M2. With the vertical slats, it looks like an M240i.

I agree the horizontal slats look better with the kidneys squared off at the top and with the inlets down below.

Don’t know why I like it and care not at all for any history, it just calls to me. Also give zero Fs if people think it’s a 240

On that car or any other M2 absolutely no one is going to see vertical slats and think "oh, must be a 240". The only people who won't know, wouldn't know either way.
