I loved VO, still do. It suited the 1M perfectly. When the E46 M3 was launched I could not stand LSB or PY. I now love them. They both are great out of the norm exterior colors that were ahead of their time.

I am confident these have been previously posted, I may have even posted it, but let’s bring it back. The bi-color wheels do appear to benefit ZB.

Ride height is atrocious. Needs a solid half inch drop at minimum. Do we know exactly how much the M Performance HAS kit will be able to drop it?… particularly the front?

I'm thinking at least 3/4" drop. The M Performance HAS kit for the M3/4 range is 5-20mm so I'm guessing the M2 will be the same. I need to see the car in person, might need to look at a KW HAS kit if I don't think 20mm which is roughly 3/4" is enough.

Another video from Australia.

Best one get from Wheels Australia.
It looks like there was a press day as lots of videos are appearing on YouTube.

As expected and feared, there will be a tire lottery for the G87 just like the G80. Pirelli tires in this G87...

No worries, wear out the rears quickly and then replace all four with the Michelin Pilot Sport 5S. They should be released by then.

Note, the new MPS5S were to launch in November 2022. For whatever reason they have been delayed.

Two more new videos.

Anyone else notice they're finally putting tire dressing on their display cars? Guess they got the message.

Now if they would get the message pertaining to the less than desirable exterior colors as well as the high demand for individual paint.

And bucket seats as an individual option.

Baby steps. Plus they would reach a much broader audience with my suggestion.

Oh I definitely agree individual paint would be way more beneficial. I'd take any purple color at this point. Carbon bucket seats are a desire that I'd weigh the cost of and make a decision, but individual paint would be a non-negotiable if it were an option.

Just curious how many people who went with the carbon buckets seats have, or have not, sat in them before.

I have, as well as Porsche's version. For track cars, yes...for everyday driving or driving for an hour plus at a time, have fun with that. Just my 2 pennies...

What I wish was that they offered the Full Merino seats like the M4s.

I drove an m4 with them at the 50th anniversary event, and absolutely love them. I felt that I could sit in them for a 5 hr drive without trouble. Schnell might want to chime in because he mentioned he had the ones in the Porsche. From what I remember the bmw ones have a lot more adjustability.

Yes, the BMW version does have some adjustability but not like an electric seat. The Porsche seats have none.

More power to you if they work for you, I know for everyday driving there is no way for me (and the wife, with lower back issues) would throw me out of the house (and keep/sell the car) if I brought the M2 home with the CF buckets.

Comes down to body type and size, simple as that.
