New official M2 peek vs unofficial leaks comparison

anitasanger · 10-04-2022, 02:21 PM

And what are those specks of glowing royal blue on the chin spoiler? I don't know where the light is coming from and what makes it glow blue.

Reflected neon from the ceiling, I guess.

Guy on left is laughing at how crappy the new design is

Yep, the florescent rope light above

I think the front would look much better if the middle lower portion of the bumper was color matched, or if you could get a splitter that extended out as far or further than the side openings.

BMW will sell every single one at MSRP+ so why should they even try to make them better looking?

Getting close...very cool

This recent pic was not leaked by BMW. If it was it would have looked like this.

IcewaterPete · 10-04-2022, 03:29 PM

Nothing has changed. Still not looking good.

I'll add to it. This is equally unflattering... not because the car is ugly, because the angle and lighting make the bumper look like a shelf hanging off a wall

No you dont. Just odd that you are a new member, yet had access to BMW executives and tease pics. This pic was meant to get out

In hindsight, I was foolish to think a body colored chin may be on the way. All one has to do is look at the new XM, and the answer is they plain as day. A blacked out, front middle gap is apparently BMW's new design language.

Thankfully the brand new M240i did not receive BMW's new design language

What a sketchy square face. A five year old would come up witha better design. I can’t believe those guys are smiling in that presentation. i would be ambarassed to present that boxy, flatness, insipid, monotone crap…

The guy on the right is not smiling :/
Looks like he's holding his breath at best

The other guy looks like he's been instructed to smile in firm German

Oh I'm so drooling over this, I'm positive when FULLY revealed and this thing shows it's lines in real detail many will come around.
That M package really shows its potential if it's taken further and enhanced the lip is beautiful

78k?? Wth are you planning to option it with. I don't see how it could get that high unless it includes individual paint which likely won't be available for a while

Executive package, exterior carbon package. Adaptive, LED lighting.. Carbon bucket seats.. Pretty much every option on the list and I'm ordering mine with the 1000 M wheels..

Wow, surprised they already have a waiting list on the Competition model. What number are you on that list?

I'm in VA. My dealer is in PA. But he told me he added me the list of people who would be called to place an order. This is my 3rd M car from him.

Is it possible to order 1000M from the factory and get credit for stock wheels? Or is it dealt with separately

They become take offs and you don't get the originals

Buy them later and you will be able to keep and sell the originals

ZB as others have indicated. All the previous leaked images are grossly over-saturated.
