Real life video of the M2 M Performance car being moved around at the Essen Motor Show. Includes sound clips of the M Performance exhaust, and clips outdoors as it’s loaded on a truck.

The wrap on this car is god awful! But the exhaust sounds good.

M Performance exhaust looks pretty good on this car. It looked awful on the G80.

I wish they would show this off on a M2 w/o the fugly fingerprint wrap, just show it in color that's offered. Would really like to see just the front bumper CF air intakes and the CF rear deflector pieces without everything else on a Brooklyn Grey M2

I wish this Orange replaced sunset orange as a color. Minus the weird fingerprint decals of course lol

Right, if you squinted hard enough and ignored the fugly fingerprints, this orange looks really good on the M2.

Frankly, this looks fantastic to me. It looks aggressive and fun and like the pocket rocket it is. Other than the G80/82, few if any other cars in this price range match up for pure visual drama and excitement with OEM parts. Even the wrap has grown on me. I think I’m ticking every box except for the side strakes and wheels.

I found the exhaust sound to be odd. Especially at startup. Like it's groaning. And this is the performance exhaust eh? The stock G42 has a deeper, fuller tone with after market exhausts improving it.

Interesting exhaust setup on the back.. and upside down Lexus LFA setup. I notice the rear diffuser with the setup brings the diffuser out and flush with the back bumper.

Ugh, those side flicks/vents... I see they didn't even stick them right up to the edge with the wheel well leaving a gap of paint showing (@2:15 mark). My OCD would hate that and imagine the dirt build up at the seam. Why couldn't they have it flush to the edge or even wrap inside the wheel well just a little to make it look smoother?

The rear bumper covers... I do have to say it makes the bumper looks better. Really breaks up that huge space from the rear and rear 3/4 view. Just too bad it's stick on and not functional.

Hopefully the aftermarket will come out with a lot bettery stuff.

I agree.Not impressed by the sound of the exhaust in the video.Sounds kinda muffled but this looks like a European car so probably has the particulate filter.I wouldn’t purchase this exhaust no matter how good it sounded.I really dislike the design of the exhaust pipes.It looks terrible IMO.

[Albator_IIII]

The only thing I like about the wrap is that it gives me a taste of the color I would like to get the car (orange).

I might be a heretic to be burned at the stake, but I will admit that I like all the parts on the car. Hate me all you want.

Does this car have the OPF required in Europe? If so it likely effects the sound. USA model should sound the best.

Good point - the m2 comp sounded quite a bit different here in the US. It was kind of annoying at first trying to find US modded M2C exhaust vids lol

Overall this is going to look incredible on the road. I'd personally go with a different front splitter, no tow hook strap, no side skirt attachments or spats, the standard carbon fiber rear diffuser, and aftermarket wheels. Would throw downpipes on it right away and probably replace the mufflers shortly after, so not overly concerned with how it sounds from the factory.

Here’s an interesting review of the kit from an automotive designer.

More pics of the car outdoors at the show.

Starting to really love that cf lip and air ducts.

Also this orange really goes to show you how well it would do with loud colors.

More video and pics.

I can't believe they didn't design the front bumper to accommodate a euro license plate any better than this. It's awful. Lots of euro cars don't do well with a US-sized plate, but virtually always are well-designed for the euro plate. Not here.

How is it going to even work with the US plate?It looks like the US plate will go down to far and block the optional active cruise control sensor.

I really like the rear bumper inserts. Somehow they make the gap between the taillights work a lot better as it creates some "verticality" to the design. The rest I don't really care.

He also did M2 vs RS3. He chose the M2.

So confused what folks find so atrocious here. Wish I had space for this in my garage! Looks fantastic (without the stupid wrap) and I'm sure it drives the way it looks
