Noticed the M2 within the flesh for the primary time and managed to snap this fast video, get some element photographs and do a extremely scientific wheel hole evaluation (entrance and rear). As a bonus I bought to take a look at a badass M3 Touring in frozen black ��
The M2 seems to be sensible within the flesh, however this magnificence actually wants decreasing springs, much more so then the G80/82 and my G42. I do not recall ever seeing a sports activities care that appears prefer it’s designed for a drop and visually rides so excessive from the manufacturing facility. The pumped arches actually make it rather more aggressive in stance then my G42, and the massive discs and calipers look sensible beneath the M wheels, ZB just isn’t for me (Ive ordered BG) however the automotive nonetheless seems to be menacing within the flesh, improbable packaging and stance – it simply must be lowered with some high quality springs.
I bought some element photographs of the headlights with the considerably unusual faux grill look element within the corners, and the entrance air dam space (which had the plastic oil cooler guard fitted). I additionally spent a while poking round beneath the automotive and beneath the bonnet. The again field/rear muffler seems to be the identical because the G80/G82. The working gear as we all know is all M3/M4. Controls arms, struts, calipers, and so on additionally seem visually an identical. I believe the rear management arm even had “M4” stamped on it but it surely was troublesome to see with out wedging my head perminently beneath the automotive. Suffice to say, the aftermarket goes to go nuts with this new M2. A playful, nimble, shorter wheelbase M4? Sure please!
As normal, on-line pictures and movies do not do the automotive justice. Price experiencing it in individual and I am much more excited for supply day.
*** EDIT ***
For many who need a bit of extra knowledge, my, three fingers are approx 2.5inch (60mm) and the entrance fender hole is well round 2.5inches, the rear is nearer to the 2inch mark. And sure, I measured my fingers for you guys.
One other native block right here in Australia additionally managed to take an precise ruler to the fender hole, Ive added the brand new picture to the thread.
If I needed to be a bit extra exacting I might say the entrance hole is round 52mm, the rear is round 40mm. Fairly just like the M4 G82.
Take pleasure in!
