Let me explain.

Here in Belgium, when there used to be a new M-product launch you got an invite, dinner, closed room, the whole shebang...

The only invite I'm getting is for EV's. Nothing on the new M2, not even a fun mail or a brochure to drool over.

Not one message or call from the sales guy or dealership. They don't even mention the new car when I'm in for a service, not a word (and they know I have to order a new car very soon).

The buzz is zero... sub- zero. Is BMW not proud of the new M2?

That or BMW doesn't want to sell me an M- product.

So disappointed BMW

I think they under priced it and are afraid to canabalize sales of the M3/M4.

BMW know they will sell every M2 they manage to produce without even trying.
On the other hand the EV garbage they produce needs all the help it can get to find a sucker willing to part with their hard earned.

The bottom-middle section of the front bumper needs to be paint matched to the rest of the car and the headlights need to be classic BMW with an up-to-date styling cue. Something similar to pre-LCI X7 headlights but obviously more compact to suit the M2.

This is all my own opinion. The rest of the M2 looks surprisingly good in all colors except Zandvoort Blue

I absolutely love the Edelweiss LT3s. They will look awesome on a G87.

I’d stick to speaking for just yourself

IMO… The G80 is about as ugly as they come from BMW ///M

If BMW somehow fixes the front and rear of this new G87…. I might consider it, otherwise, Pasadena !!

Oddly enough these pictures probably give three different purchasers ideas on wheel options: AW, ZB, and BG haha.

I must say, the bronze rollers look good here in all shades and lighting conditions represented.

Hope they make a smaller version. Not a fan of how massive this one is.

There are slightly smaller ones out there that sit on the top lip, they are just not OEM M Performance. AUTOID has a smaller one on their project car if you look them up on YT.

I’m sure the downforce or aero isn’t the same, but then again only functional speeding around corners at best anyways, just looks at that point. I do know that if you install the OEM M Performance front splitter, you need the OEM rear spoiler or it throws an error for the chassis / suspension. BMW needs to code this at dealership to avoid the error too so they do work together for sure.

Some people don’t want to ship their ECU to Finland . So what alternative is there? Also JB4 has shown decent gains so not exactly a waste of money or the 10 minutes to takes to hook up.

Thanks for the video though.

They're YouTubers. You weren't looking for award-winning journalism on there, were you?

That can't be true...

Yep it’s true.

I wouldn't have believed this either if I hadn't seen it. That is wild.

Yea, it messes with the handling big time at higher speeds.

You seemed surprised the guy was "saying some really stupid stuff". Well, it's YouTube. The only reason that video exists is because of potential monetization. Not because it'll actually teach you anything. Once you've gotten your view in, all that matters to the creator.
