The M colors are baked into the material. Then they illuminate from underneath

Talking about dropping suspension and adding spacers. Do either of those things void a new warranty?

Still not a fan of this color, but it looks infinitely better with the bi-color wheels.

It actually looks good from the front.
I joke and jest, but BMW is doing the right thing.
They have to make these cars stand out.

I was looking a late model s3 and, I think it was s6, and even though I really loved them both (the s6 in particular had some really nice wide body fenders, beautiful car)… they just don’t really catch no car people’s eye because of how classy they are.

Then I saw a 2022 or maybe 2023 wrx and the thing looked like it had just gone to subimods and said, “I’ll take one of everything.”

It had two visible cans from the read and 4 tailpipes. There was plastic on top of plastic everywhere and many, many triangles of various shapes and sizes. It was, frankly, a mess - in my opinion.

But, that’s what people want I think.
So, I think the m2 looks completely tame compared to that. I’m sure I’ll come around to it.

I’ve already begun to like the front end, and really I think they are doing the right thing because it has to stand out from the crowd - and the crowd is already looking crazy.

I saw the 3.0 CSL ‘73 in Gran Turismo and that car is gorgeous to me, partly because I know it, and partly because I love the look of cars actually made out of sheet metal. But, it’s a wild design. Back then it must have been crazy.

Looking at that car I can kinda see some similarity between it’s front end and what they are doing with the new g80.

The m2 is not so bad. I like to tease it, but it’s going to be a great car. This one looks pretty good actually.

These pictures are great!

Bicolour wheels look a lot better but that shade of blue just undervalues the car

Drop and spacers with front lip completely transforms it. Now we just need some decent colours and for the world to un-shit itsself and I’m good to go lol.

1000M wheels will be 'the wheel' for the G87 imo.

I think the carbon lip is the perfect transition between the paint and the glossy black bits. Not sure doing lower lip in paint will only empathize more those glossy black bits.

The new M2 breaks precedence, doesn't use conventional BMW design language, and breaks from the past in so many ways, that adding on design elements from past may not work IMO. The new M2 has its own character and design philosophy.

But let's see how it looks, maybe you are on to something

Looks so much better than with black wheels, as it does with every car.
