It looks like it should have a big wing (spoiler) on the back.

The front is so aggressive! Wow. The rear needs a bigger spoiler, the small one from the M235i is just too small for the aggression of this car.

I like it and I want to see it with MPerformance front lip spoiler with Carbon Fiber inserts, and a rear CF diffuser.

As soon as you wrap one and likely not until.

But of course it's gonna be a proper M car, so there is a lot more than the looks to think and talk about.

But generally, I'm underwhelmed.

For the people who did not like it, good for you and good for the people who do plan to order a M2 ...
For each person who does not like it and will not order a M2 that may mean more allocations available for the people who are.

Thats a win for everyone

Adem? Are you shqipe? Lol in any event, I just don't see it lean looking. Looks like a fat chubby little kid.. Lol hopefully the real deal will look better. But that's my opinion. We all have different taste. Just not for me.

Don't like the front, don't like the back. Disappointing. Hope the real one looks different.

Yes I have explained that X5M and X6M are much taller vehicles therefore the reflectors would not be seen at normal road height which is why they are placed vertically at each side of the bumper and much larger.

Congratulations, it is the first most accurate rendering of the new M2 seen so far.
And as discussed previously what you are seeing is the Vision GT but brought in to assist with the more realistic aspects of a performance road car.
Although it is not without reason to get a little "wilder".

Prepare to be very upset because it will unquestionably look at least 95% like it does in these renders. If you don't see that then you clearly haven't been following the development of this car.

Haha then you're not. It does for sure. I'm definitely looking forward to the real thing, even though I don't see myself in a market for one.

One thing I noticed that I believe is off is how defined the rear flares are in relation to the side skirts. For example:



clearly the crease is sharper than in the renders

Great looking renders

LED lights is not an option for this car, but nicely added by Wild-Speed.

M Wheels are the black wheels with the silver front facets on it. These wheels are not shinny enough and not the correct looks I think. That should be changed to look exactly as the 19 inch M wheels from the BMW M3/M4.

Other than that pretty close I think. Maybe the renders feel a bit bold, and the final design might be a bit more flowing. That is mainly due the fact that you design a render based on an existing photo.

Remember early cars have plastic sheets underneath to disguise the car further.
This later model shows the lines through the camouflage thanks to the light shining on the car.

Lol, the car isn't even out yet and you're calling it a swing and a miss before the ball is pitched
