BMW M2 Performance Parts…Pure GENIUS or just RIDICULOUS???

[@abarthcorsa3493]

With the race-car-esque parts it looks almost like a DTM car. It is a bit better because the boxiness looks more functional

[@BlackFragFilms]

The first time I saw the normal M2 I remember bursting out laughing just because of how ridiculous it looked. I must now admit however that these things have somehow really started to grow on me. Still wouldn't call them beautiful but definitely interesting and better than most cars BMW has designed in the last years.

[@CUSTARDP00DLETK]

I would prefer unique and a bit odd / goofy as opposed to the "generic euro" we have been seeing too much lately. I see this as the first step to design improvement. Just my opinion

[@Sonilotos]

@@CUSTARDP00DLETK I agree A change for the better from your usual, dull German automobile

[@Kev27RS]

It looks better than the new M4!

[@fifteen8850]

This is not a ridiculous look imo, at least compared to the G80/82

[@tropixx8143]

4:20 vital input from Sherman 🙏 changed the way I see this design

[@TheCarKrazeOfficial]

It’s not bad at all. Once people realize that the new M2 is inspired by the boxy E36 M3, so they took the boxy proportions of the new 2 series and made it boxier. Genius

[@pshdsss]

I agree but the head/tail lights are making my heart bleed :(

[@BitMicrobe]

The headlights on the prelci m340i looked more like the e46 m3 than this M2. Shame they changed them on the lci

[@justrotate9103]

Don’t see it m8…

[@xArsVivendi]

If something is inspired by something, it also has to look the part. This claim is just marketing, if you can't actually see it in the design IMO.

[@Kev27RS]

@@pshdsss The headlights and taillights aren't that bad! The rear bumper is ugly...

[@liammcleod159]

the m3 was a shock to everyone, but since then iv'e learned to see their new designs with an open mind. I think the m2 is a decent looking design along with the new XM. I;m now kinda looking forward to seeing what crazy design they will come up with next.

[@RogueBeatsARG]

Riced from factory... with its a good thing! would be better with a wide body kit but "rules" i guess

[@Sebe_r35]

Now it looks even more like a DTM bodykit, I like it

[@The1MkII]

I love the new M2 and these performance parts really make it pop in my eyes. The styling reminds me of an old school DTM race car. Love it!

[@enderzebak2863]

[@NotMyAccount]

It would be amazing if you could choose which parts of the performance pack you want. I would would only choose the carbon elements in the lower bumper cooling intakes and the carbon elements on the rear bumper and the weird exhaust.

[@zhaoyangxie]

You can choose. You buy these parts individually after purchasing the car, it is not an option, if that is what you nean

[@NotMyAccount]

@@zhaoyangxie I understand that the parts are optional but I am talking about choosing certain elements not the whole package.

​@@NotMyAccount That's what he said. This isn't some overall pacakge, each part is a seperate available option to buy.

[@alexanderhuliakov6012]

Front - 10/10, love it. Side - Good, but forks are little meh, yes. Maybe thinner would be better. Back - A bit too much, some civic vibes, but okay. Also spoiler should be body color. Overall, one of the best sporty cars now.

[@elmonyopi1577]

This is the most aggressive, beautiful and mean looking car on sale right now, behind the Porsche GT3 RS And i love it..

I completely love the look of this car. My favourite looking modern bmw

[@MANTRAKKK]

amasing with those parts, somehow they made it so much better looking than the normal one

[@alainprevost5374]

It amazes me how rockstar game designers/developers do better job designing cars for GTA than actual BMW vehicle designers

[@doggodproductions2259]

Exactly what this made me think of, as well. Especially those fender bits.

[@FurkanCemTurfanda]

Filling in the air inlets on the front with black is an improvement. Vinyl wrap is an affordable way to achieve the same look.

[@Kev27RS]

5:48 I agree! It won't be such an eye sore... Definitely no black wheels! Black wheels are silly... Silver or Gold-ish wheels for sure!

[@seniraranasinghe645]

BMW really looked at 2016 civic type R and thought that's the shit

[@bruceh92]

The rear fender bulges are right on the mark. The add-on box like features at the corners will draw your eyes to them but not in a good way. Thanks for video.

[@zhaoyangxie]

I actually like the stacked exhaust on the M2. Looks out of place on the M3/4, as those are more mature looking cars, but suits the younger vibe of the M2. Kinda looks like a car from NFS HEAT, and I kinda like that haha

[@sikanderhumedkhan6037]

It looks awesome

[@gramatonklerik1284]

cat part was amazing 🤣👍

[@alexbbruce]

Idk what BMW is up to these days. I miss when they consistently made beautiful designs, like the E46, E39, and E24. I assume I'll become a big fan of the new M2 when I start seeing them in person, but idk if I'd ever call it beautiful. As for these performance parts, BMW needs to stop taking inspiration from Mansory and TechArt. You would have NEVER seen gaudy parts like these fitted to an E46 M3 from the factory. That said, the wheels are stunning, I like the way the car itself calls back to the '80s and '90s with the box flares and rectangular radiator intakes, and I'm sure it'll be an absolute blast to drive. BMW designers just need to learn when to stop designing.

[@rosemont83]

They're gonna turn that headlight grill into an intake for the CS or comp models I'm pretty sure...

[@fionn1206]

Can you review the Adro g82? Its a aftermarket kit for the m4 and it fits so perfect in my opinion.

[@urigeheadmot1196]

1000th view - I‘m sad that they f““ked up the new m2, the old one will stay expensive :/

[@Yogi5D]

Best BMW ever!! 😍

[@Kev27RS]

All those parts don't enhance the M2's look to be honest! There's too much going on...

[@v.s.727]

The new M2 is one of the very few new cars which I really want to own. But I don't have the money.

[@117johnpar]

I think BMWs design identity is in where it counts for them. Like the lighting designs and the grills. Overall composition they have pretty far spread ideas on bodylines and "tone" for the looks. I do think the new M2 is the best looking one. Its not beautiful, But it has a certain charm and distinctive humanistic look to the shapes that a lot of car companies have completely lost. Its understated in some places and sharp and "handsom" in the accents, while being "small" and agile in its overall form.

[@fourteenzero]

I love this car. The design is very static, but it reminds of the r34 Nissan skyline specifically from the front end and the square intakes. I wish it had sharper body lines to better bring the design language together

[@D0wNhiLL]

Looks better than the m2 at least from the back, somehow manages to both intrigue and disgust me 🤷🏼‍♂️😂😂

[@dylanw890]

I think I like the performance model more because given how funky it looks stock, the extra trim kind of makes it look more race oriented and function which its good. If I had the money, I would get the performance parts to complete the look.

[@moiggc]

It seems BMW is catering for the after market industry... or at least getting in on the action themselves.Maybe a little over the top for my taste, but aftermarket options sometimes are really bad. This, at least, looks oem, imo.

[@Kev27RS]

3:40 That part on the M2's rear bumper is too big... It's ugly! Even on the base M2!

It's the second one! Straight up ridiculous! And I'm a BMW fan saying this! Besides, do you know what annoys the most? Knowing the fact that the BMW can do so much better. It's not so bad in a long shot but as you get closer you suddenly realize that it's absolutely horrible. In terms of design of course, not the performance.

[@hemanths3877]

It compliments boxiness very well

[@fenrirslip]

The boxy design of the new M2 is the direction BMW should go in. This is kind of apparent in the all-new 7-Series and I think it can work if they use the design of the M2 as a framework. I've heard people say that the new M2 gives them E36 M3 vibes and I totally see it. Although its design is definitely boxier.

[@TheAustrianPainter87]

Retro design is the new wave I guess

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

The parts make it look better because the boxy design without them looks rather weird.

Save for the adidas stripes this does look better than the stock. That being said, it just looks okay at best. The square bulges in the bumper and fender are too hard to fix. It's funny cause all of BMW crazy designs would only have me picking all black configs. Speaks volumes.

[@nzomm]

I actually like the m2 performance better then the regular m2. I feel like the base model is a combination between classic bmw design and squares, which i don't particularly like, but the performance m2 has much more squares and straight lines, making it a design feature of the car. I don't really like it either, but to me the design feels more consistent around the car. I also like the fact that the two square intakes on the front look like they are less prominent and more level with all the front of the car, and that is a thing i really don't like of the base m2 model

The new M2 is brutal in appearance and not as appealing as the OG M2. The biggest disappointment is the missing body crease that used to run along the side of the body and end at the gas cap.
