Are people actually dumb enough to take a fan made render derived from a supposedly M2 front bumper leak coming out of China at face value?

That being said, the rendered car doesn't look bad at all and I don't understand the hate, it looks like an aggressive 2 door BMW, exactly what the M2 should be, so what is your problem? The grill size is in check, big air intakes like on every M car, and the headlights are clean, albeit not dual halos like we're used too.

What's going on with the lights? What has happened to BMW. Looks like every other car on the road now. Joke

Seriously. 100% this is not the actual bumper. Slow news day.

This front end has some queues from the E36 M3. Not bad at all. Does it match the rest of the car? Not sure.

Almost makes the G80 M3 look good. :

Not sure how they managed to f*ck the M2 up as well.

F series generation hands down the best looking cars of late.

I was pretty optimistic about the new M2 when I saw the G42 M240i pics... however, this is hideous. BMW is really jumping the shark with these new M car designs.

True M cars were visceral. Not anymore, the last gen M2C looks good from all angles, and I think it will age well.

Nice render, but I'm a pass if this is what it looks like!

Not big enough. BMW traditionally has big kidneys for at least a year. How does it even breathe?

That is the best bumper BMW has made in years. Looks like a GT2. No sarcasm, I love it! If they actually put a great motor in it and make it light weight I may actually consider it.

No way this is a BMW leak. Potentially an aftermarket Chinese front end for the G8x? Will be popping up soon on Alibaba.com & you could add some round 90s WRX style driving lights to the square air ducts to give it some extra retro charm.

Nice job on the render though.

BMW won't make unique headlights just for the M2 for a start.

Hilarious how F series owners have to validate their purchase by convincing themself anything new is not worthy.

F series is safe, invisible and getting tired looking. Time to evolve, if you like "safe" designs so much, try Buick, Oldsmobile, etc

I've owned just as many G series cars as I have F so I'm not sure I follow your logic in "justifying my purchase".

Also, comparing F80/F82/F87 in this discussion vs. the G series cars to Buick/Oldsmobile is comical.

I understand and respect your appreciation for BMW's aggressive design language, but looks are subjective. And my opinion, is that they look like comparative to their previous gen M counter parts.
