No doubt there will remain a black finished option, but I'm happy to see BMW going back to its roots with polished silver wheels.

Seems the young cats dig black wheels, while us guys that have had several generations of BMW still find that the silver polished wheels blow our hair back.

Nobody's wrong. Just different attractions.

The 1 M only came with the CSL type 359 polished silver wheel. Guys had to fork-out to get them in a different finish.

PROPS to BMW for having options again.
I don't know what qualifies as young, I'm mid-40s. Personally, I don't think silver wheels look good on most anything, and definitely not sports/performance cars. It's also a very poor exterior color choice to debut the wheels. That exterior color needs gloss black or gunmetal wheels, even bronze would look better than the silver.

If they replace black, I'll start a new thread complaining, just like the loss of cognac interior complainers

Not a true Individual program but more color choice is never a bad thing.

Is it possible they skip a CS and go straight to CSL?

WOOT! Alcantara flat-bottom wheel too. Good stuff. No open up the ordering guide and let’s get this going!

480hp / 442ft lb - I’ll take it.

I don’t care about the supposed power increase because I will eventually tune this thing but Skyscraper, Grigio and Portimao would have been good color options and I probably would have picked one over my Brooklyn Grey. You can get a new steering wheel at any time

It's actually 473 mechanical hp which equates to 480 metric hp.

So do we have any prices yet? Or does that get announced when the ordering guides happen? I thought I said base price is $2,000 higher?

The Alcantara wheel is still only an option, not standard like some were suspecting - Press release:

The most important interface between driver and vehicle – the steering wheel – has been newly designed, bringing a fresh look to the interior of the 2025 BMW M2. The standard-fitted M leather steering wheel now has a flat-bottomed rim and a new design for the spokes. A red center marker in the 12 o’clock position, gearshift paddles, and the two M buttons for selecting individually configured vehicle setups underscore the track-ready feel. An M Alcantara steering wheel is now also available as an option in the same design. A heating function is offered as an option for both steering wheel designs.
