The BMW M2 (F87) prototype has moved onto the final stage before its long awaited reveal. Seen here finally is a prototype in a color other than black -- Alpine White.

Alpine White will be among the 4 colors that the M2 launches in. The others include Long Beach Blue (small peek here), Black Sapphire and Mineral Grey. These will be paired with a single interior choice -- black with blue accent stitching.

As we've shared before, the engine will be an N55 and will produce 370 PS (DIN) (= 365 hp) and 465Nm torque (= 343 lb-ft). The engine will also feature an "over boost" of +35Nm (25 lb-ft), in the low to mid range RPM.

Looking better and better. Can't wait for final reveal.

This thing is going to be hot in AW.

Literally found this and was gonna post this about 10 mins ago...

More and more is showing up

MaC-N54-E82 · 07-16-2015, 09:13 AM

Looking forward to the reveal and more importantly some thoughts on the driving experience.

So no CF roof

How about a corvette at around the same price?

DRTMGRT · 07-16-2015, 09:18 AM

I need an allocation.

inFamousKicks · 07-16-2015, 09:19 AM

I just hope the front bumper ends up looking a little more aggressive. As it stands now, it reminds me of the LCI 128i front bumper.

Has a sunroof, which has always meant no cf roof.

At the point (such as this) where I am over-ready for the reveal, I try to convince myself that the final stages of testing and refinement will make the long, long wait worthwhile.

Corvette with the same options will be 7-10k more expensive. And you lose 2 seats and refinement. So the comparison isn't that great.

Love this shot:

P.S. This looks more like a planned photoshoot than spy shots

I guarantee you it will be plenty aggressive.

I know, I was just saying that this doesn't help answer that question. I'd be surprised if it's not standard though.

It has been proven time and time again that it will be very, very similar to this front bumper:

If that looks like a 128i to you then I suggest perhaps you need new glasses. Lol.

DD335i · 07-16-2015, 09:26 AM

Looking good

Yep looks like a planed photoshoot for sure. How they can have the car parked at difference angles with the wheels turned...

The ride height (fender gap) for these mules seems to be lower than the M3/M4s. I wonder are they going to stay that way in a production car. I sure hope so.

I haven't been keeping up with every little detail about this release, and obviously that doesn't look like a 128. It'll be a bit more pleasing if it ends up looking similar to that.

Not sure on that price difference. If I were in the market for an M2, back seats would anyway be a way low priority, since they are good just for dogs or miggets shorter than 4 feet.
Regarding refinement, I don't have any serious expectations from a '2 series'. I'll be surprised if it will even have a HUD or full leather. Expect a lot of plastic everywhere and will be lucky if they don't rattle.

At around this price point, I see the primary reason for going for an M2 is not refinement, nor comfort, nor practicality. It will be performance and fun in driving as a DD. I believe the corvette will be far better than the M2 in both those aspects. But let us see.

Juli23 · 07-16-2015, 09:35 AM

In my opinion the passenger seat looks more like the seats in the M4 than like the ones in the M235i
These might as well be covers
