The GT style rear wing is one of my favorite things.

As high as I could get them, so they are not really visible unless you kneel down.

The right and left sides are actually one middle section, which I cut to fit.

That was a good idea! Thanks

In the quiet mist of dawn’s soft glow,
Two M2s, side by side, slow.
Engines hum beneath a silver veil,
In morning fog, they begin their tale.

Their forms, sharp and bold, take shape in the haze,
Steel beasts awakened, ready to blaze.
Tires kiss the dew on the road ahead,
As silent whispers from the fog are spread.

Twin growls erupt, low and deep,
Breaking the stillness from the night’s sleep.
In perfect sync, they begin to glide,
Two shadows of power, ready to ride.

Through winding paths, they dance as one,
Chasing the break of the rising sun.
Fog may fade, but the memory stays,
Of two M2s in the morning’s maze.

That's really good!

Very appropriate to the pictures.

It works really well with the Cognac interior! Why did BMW eliminate that interior option for 2025???

Yes, and it's a hoot to drive! Probably has as much or more power than the upcoming CS!

Sounds great too with the Dinan exhaust !

Ah, you got it, exactly. Thats the color. Perfection. Is it a wrap? Didnt know BMW offered this color as individual.

wesleyan92 · 10-10-2024, 01:51 PM

Fabulous write up and pictures.

The Calypso red is spectacular.

"Clarity Coat"

Essentially a peelable paint or a sprayable wrap. Professionally applied. It's a 2-3 day, 7 step process.

This is the 3rd car I've had done. It's amazing stuff. Less expensive than a full car PPF, and it can be applied in any color (My last M2 went from black to San Marino Blue).

Didn't know the G87 recorded that type of information!

Oo yea, it is all of the M3 and M4 parts..on a slightly smaller layout, bigger then the last M2, I think better..ha

M2PDX · 10-11-2024, 06:14 AM

There are so many performance features of this car. The most impressive is the S58. Truly one of the great BMW engines of all time.
