How to Make a BMW 228i Look Like an M2 (Hate-Free Advice, Please!)

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for advice on how to make my 228i resemble an M2 as closely as possible. I’ve already got a body kit in mind that includes the front bumper, side skirts, and rear diffuser. I also plan to add spacers and upgrade the exhaust.

What other exterior modifications should I consider to nail the M2 look? Specifically:

Wheels: Should I get specific wheels or replicas to match the M2 style?
Fender Flares: Do I need wider fenders for a more aggressive stance?
Badges/Grilles: Should I replace the grilles or badges? If so, any tips for doing it tastefully?
Other Details: Are there any small touches (mirrors, roof wraps, etc.) that would make a big difference?
This project is purely for personal enjoyment, so I’d appreciate constructive advice. Thanks in advance!

As someone who owned 3 cars in the lower-trim levels, and wasted tens of thousands of dollars retrofitting cosmetic or electrical features, this is a waste of money. You will 100% guaranteed to spend more money rather than selling your 228i and getting an M2 instead.

Please, do not do this. Do not repeat my mistakes.

Hello Micheal, Thank you for your advice. Though not going the m2 way I will still purchase an aftermarket msport bumper to have a more aggressive front-end look

Thanks again!
