Saw the new M2 at UDE event

Finally saw the car in person and overall I really like it!
This one was in the Brooklyn Grey color which helps to show off all the body lines, CF roof, hood dome etc. I also like the new flush door handles.

Compared to G8x cars with pig nose - the M2 is a beauty.

The overall shape, body lines, and the wheel arches especially in the back are well designed. There is no mistaking it for a BMW as it has a lot of heritage styling cues.

The weak points for me:
1 - available colors are not great, probably the worst for any M car launch
2 - the wheel design do not help this car, it looks so much better on the Mperformance wheels. These wheels look like they are designed for X5.
3 - the overall stance is bad from the factory. Front wheel gap is enormous and the offset of the wheels is very conservative. I think a drop and decent set of wheels will make this design really amazing.

The interior is nice overall and seating position is better than F87 M2. The $5 Alibaba ipad screen really kills the design for me though.

I have a deposit on one but waiting for more colors and Comp model before i get one.

Disturbing that so many G87's are sporting Pirelli's.

Right

Michelin has been having constraint issues for a while. “Rubber shortage.” Allegedly that is why we have not seen the 4S replacement too. As I have previously mentioned, the replacement was originally scheduled to launch in November 2022.
