No way the M2 has different lights than the M240i. Lights are super expensive to develop. What we have seen is a car maker taking lights from another model (RS6...) but I'm not sure what BMW has that could work.

I'm pretty sure my previous 2016 F80 M3 had slightly different headlights than the 2016 F30 or 32.

Are you able to confirm that it does have the front bumper that was posted from the supplier in China last year?Does it also have the BMW logo behind the rear side window that was featured on the CSL Hommage?Did the model you see have the carbon fiber roof?If it did was it the same design that the M3 and M4 have?Any new cool looking interior features.

Oh wow. You're positive the M2 made an appearance?

I work at a dealer and know my rep that went. Shooting him an email now.

Did you see the car personally? How much did it look like the renders?

All I got out of the man so far was, "the car looks amazing".

While it had different headlights than the normal 3 series, it shared the same headlights with the F32 4 series, as did the e90 M3 with the e92 headlights and the current G80 M3 with the G22 headlights.

We did 2014(M3/4 launch), 2015 M4, 2016 M4GTS,M2 and it was unreal. Life will never be the same. Much better than what Porsche offers. Keep pushing your M lead for your area. BMW does listen to the people. May not please all but they watch and listen.

Unfortunately this dream will be forever left unfulfilled. I think Porsche has a program too, but BMW's seemed so comprehensive and fun.

Amazing cars you've owned!

+1 regarding headlights. Are they the same as the G42?

Any details on how the rear diffuser looks?

It was reported that the G87 would get custom wheels that differ from the G80/2. Can you confirm?

Did they mention exterior/interior colors?

Fair point. In the earlier rumors I heard there would be an "M2 Specific" wheel. Might just be "M Specific"....
The last generation brushed gold and machined wheels were spectacular.

Ok cool that's what my source at BMW told me also.

Are the DRLs the double halo like the G80 or the single halo like the new 2 series?
