Cool!!!! 👌🏼

The canards around the front wheels and whatever they're called around the rear wheels, along with the roof spoiler make it look so incredibly tacky. Would be nice if they showed one only spec'd with the front splitter, rear diffuser and rear wing…

T_U_D · 12-01-2022, 08:23 AM

Not really a fan. I will probably purchase the carbon fiber mirror caps to match the CF roof.

Agreed. Although, I have a preference for the Previous M4 style spoiler over the big wing. Where can I get more info on the M Performance Exhaust?

zero21 · 12-01-2022, 09:11 AM

I love the look of the rear wing and styling program of the car to simulate the VGT car released years ago. That was a great design. I am however, not a fan of the front and rear fences or the gills that surround the wheels.

And the design of the exhaust system just makes no sense to me.

stevehifi · 12-01-2022, 09:27 AM

I wonder how they convert the wheels to center lock. Anyone know?

02M3ForMe · 12-01-2022, 09:36 AM

Big fan of the different and aggressive look. I like that BMW M is enabling owners to go further extreme than before while staying OEM. Definitely adding some of this to my build and taking advantage of free factory-level VPC installation.

Chubbiejones · 12-01-2022, 09:56 AM

Looking good!

nicksm3 · 12-01-2022, 10:42 AM

Is it so difficult for BMW to give us just a nice simple front spoiler/lip? pair it with that wing and DONE!! enough with the Tacky add on's!!!!!!! its disgusting and id be embarrassed driving this..... LESS IS MORE!!!! Simple is elegant, it can be purposeful peppered with heritage!

Done with rant.

Mollyran · 12-01-2022, 10:58 AM

The people at Aliexpress are laughing hard now.

Those side vent CF inserts make the front bumper look less chunky. Was hoping you could get these separately from the rest of the bits but sadly it looks like you need to replace the entire stock vent surround for these to fit. I'm also guessing you can't get them separately either. Hoping the aftermarket can step in and make some black inserts that don't require replacing the stock portion. Really not digging any of the other parts except for the wheels. Shame they are centerlock though.

Mishamasini · 12-01-2022, 12:46 PM

I am confused are they putting center locking wheels on the M2 as an M Performance option?

Yes, guaranteed to make you bring it into their service centers more often.

M2PDX · 12-01-2022, 01:20 PM

I believe that you can get the same wheel with standard lugs.

Until then, just vinyl the inside of the intake scoop/vent/whatever you can call it. If I hadn't ordered a black car, that's what I would do. Similar to the covering the extra "fin" on the F80/F82 bumper. Makes the openings look less chunky.

Game · 12-01-2022, 01:46 PM

I want those CF air ducts.

DarkstarZero · 12-01-2022, 02:10 PM

Nice Civic Type R.

Game · 12-01-2022, 02:51 PM

Any high resolution pics Jason ?

TomatoCoupe · 12-01-2022, 03:01 PM

Need a full alcantara wheel, shifter and armrest is that too much to ask for?

What wheel are you talking about; do you have the wheel style code?

MarlboroM2C · 12-01-2022, 04:13 PM

M Perf looks a bit more aggressive.

I like it....
But I like the F87 with MP better..
