These shots really show everything. This is pretty close to the final bumper, guarantee it.

Those hips. What a car. Wow. Pretty much perfection. I really hope they offer Terra interior.

Hmmm....this is getting interesting. The only thing they could possibly do to put me right over the top is paint one of these testers in something Frozen...ya know...something special for the first M2 ever that happens to coincide with BMW's 100th?? Got lots of time to dream so might as well push the wish list to the limits lol.

Donington grey with black 19's is going to be stunning!

Here's hoping for Sonoma beige interior too.

JustChris · 01-30-2015, 02:29 PM

Looking good there!

Does anyone think that the boot/trunk will now stay this way ie a fairly horizontal line with a mini spoiler like the M235i? Surely it's going to get a 1M and M4 style big curve/built it spoiler?

The 1er coupe had the same trunk as the 1M, so it's not like that car had a bespoke trunk. The M4 however did (and it's CFRP).

And no, I don't expect to see that on the M2. I would add an M Perf CF spoiler anyway, they look awesome.

I wish there wasn't as much snow spraying up so we could see the back even better.

But it is looking nice...very nice...

I wonder why it's covered up too. Why is there a need to cover the sunroof?

Just to screw with us.

Hoping for this exact combo! (Maybe silver wheels though...)

Dolphin is a sick color.

If Individual isn't feasible, LBB is my front runner right now. Something special about blue Bimmers.

Agreed, and IMO LBB looks even more spectacular than the blues offered on the e9x M3. The only competition for me right now would be AY. If I have to go stealth, then Mineral Grey

Mark's M · 01-30-2015, 03:55 PM

If they're not going to bend the rules about Individual (and I know Leipzig isn't equipped for it but like I said, it's their 100th so if we ask nicely maybe they'll bend the rules) then the least they can do is expand the colour palette for the M2. I think I want Frozen something but Donington will do in a pinch. And throw in a Merino leather option for the seats that are hidden under those wraps!! And, and, and.......

I was thinking I was the only sonoma fan out there, it's very very rare on the F80/82!

On most M cars, you'll rarely see beige because most people don't think it's very sporty. Before I got my e92, it would have never been a choice. But now that I have a gunmetal on beige M, it gives it a very Individual-esque feel to it

jcardenasmzl · 01-30-2015, 05:00 PM

The roof does look different especially the picture of the front. I'm wondering if the M2 is going to offer the same colors as the X6M (X5M) if it does I'll be happy because they're gonna offer carbon black (I wanted azurite black but individual its not going to be an option) so either carbon black or donington grey for me.

PackPride85 · 01-30-2015, 06:43 PM

The rear also looks more similar to the M3 with the flare outs vs the M4.

OrangeCrush · 01-30-2015, 09:07 PM

Calm down guys. That panel on the roof is just a reflection.
