Goddamn dude, stop saying "super". I'm drunk 3 mins in.

The problem with so many mods - especially aero kits - is that they're stuck on & look "stuck on". M Performance usually gets them right but can't say so with these side skirts. Those blades are ridiculous & not cohesive at all. TOTALLY look like afterthoughts stuck on for the hell of it.

Cut those blades down so they're at max 3" high and add some shape to them, they might look way better.

The boxes are real nice and I think it looks fantastic with no lip. Elegant even.

Wheels are super sharp and the light glossy color looks fantastic with that powder puff blue. Almost makes me like that blue, even.

Black wheels are becoming old chrome... passé & overdone. Besides, you can't even see 'em.

Do you think our decision on these upgrades helped or hurt your opinion on the M2?
Can't wait to hear the midpipe and see those numbers this Friday!

If you put lipstick on a pig.. it’s still a pig. It’s one of the ugliest cars BMW has ever produced IMO. There I said it. This is a case of the emperor truly having no clothes. Anyone with any sense of proportion or classic design can see its ugliness. For those who can’t; well I give up and feel sorry for you. Go take a gander at some of the classic Ferrari curves and lines as an education in what car design can deliver for the senses or study what the golden ratio actually is..

You've mastered the art of persuasion.

Wait, my M2 is not a Ferrari? I HAVE BEEN LIED TO, ORDER CANCELLED.

From now on, I shall only buy Ferraris. Because literally no other car has ever been beautiful. After all, as the saying goes, "beauty is in the eye of the Enzo."

Thank you so much for explaining the nature of beauty to me.

Every 2nd M3/4 i come across is heavily modified in the looks dept., how does that differ to this car ?.
I purchase a car at a price point knowing the $ of my first round of mods. I can afford a M3 but can’t afford to mod it is less fun than modding a car I can afford the initial buy in. Does that make any sense?

I'm in the same boat, I couldn't pay cash for car plus mods off the bat unless I saved longer so I ultimately went M2. Glad I did.

I agree with you. Porsche is definitely a notch above any M car in my opinion. I bought this also about over a year ago. However I realize no matter how perfect a car feels or drives, like yourself, I tend to customize something in any car I own. In the end I don’t know if car fanatics are ever happy with anything we own.

But mine will be TR (Testarossa Red), so that counts for something
