New Spot on Autobahn

Adem1534 · 08-23-2015, 08:57 AM

Doesn't reveal anything new, but I love the profile of this car

Black Gold · 08-23-2015, 09:06 AM

Ready for the reveal

Really intrigues to see how the rear fenders look undisguised

Size looks perfect

I second that. Love the size of this car. Spot on for me. Not too small, not too large. So anxious for the reveal...

Better than nothing. The animals were going a little crazy on the forums lately

The size is exactly what draws me to this car. It just needs a slight drop, some spacers and a much taller lip spoiler. Then she's good to go.

Stock wheel gap is wayyy less than on the M3/4 don't you think?

Definitely less. The front stock wheel gap in the M3/4 is horrid. The M2 is an improvement, but it could be better. Maybe an inch lower would be great for me

fuddman · 08-23-2015, 10:50 AM

Here's a little something to fill in the time. Keep watching to see the M2

allthatisntnow · 08-23-2015, 10:51 AM

As long as the rim doesn't disappear behind the fender. Drops start looking pretty foul then. M2 is going to be a sexy car no doubt......not long to wait now.

BMW F22 · 08-23-2015, 10:59 AM

Meh...

Adem1534 · 08-23-2015, 11:03 AM

We've been saying "not long to wait" for like 4 months

It is becoming more and more true for each day gone though...

I'm with everyone on how the size looks perfect on the M2. I believe size is actually the determining factor for me and why the M2 is on the top of my list. It is interesting they show the lap times in the video, 8:21 for the M4 GTS and 8:32 for the M2. They were obviously not going for the fasted lap time as the standard M4 does it around 7:50. Cool to see the comparison nonetheless

Denk · 08-23-2015, 03:10 PM

Nice and compact, so glad BMW is making this car. I really liked the feel/size of the M235i, fit like a glove. I can't imagine not loving the M2.

Didn't ring stop hot laps because of a crash earlier this year?

Looks extremely average in that shot... Definitely not a flattering angle, it looks tall and plain.

Want it low - buy a Corvette

But seriously: the whole charm of M2 (and of course the M235i) is they are so inconspicuous...And the size->nimbleness and tossability; the main 2 reasons (apart from the N55 engine of course) that made me swallow the lion part of my F10 N20 528xi depreciation, and trade it in towards the M235i which I love

You've been extra negative since you've got your M3

It's one of my favorite angles

I agree with you there. If you want your car to garner a lot of attention from random people, the M2 probably isn't for you. An Alfa Romeo 4C is probably more of what you want.

To be honest the F80 doesn't look that mega from the side either. You need all these wide cars at an angle so you really can see how wide they are.

Nahlem · 08-24-2015, 08:18 AM

The problem with side shots its that always and i mean always the car will appear to be in 2D format witch will never show of the real "Beauty" of a car as with the F80 picture above me the only thing that distinct this car from any other is the rims & black outflow from the side other then that, Its hard to show of the looks of a car from the side heck even a Ferrari looks quite normal from the side.

So a tip when photoing a car never do side shots unless your just want to show the rims or something. Its such an unflattering angle like when you pull out your phone & press the camera app and the front camera is on and your holding it under your head height it is not a flattering angle.

Agreed. CSL-style trunk would look cool.
