Have you seen this M2 rendering? 95% accurate from this position
Per Scott.26: "This render is around 95% accurate from this position except for a bit more visual additions on the rear aerodynamics."

This render is very, very, off.
A completely incorrect rear bumper and side vent that is very off, not to mention the completely lack of flare fenders, accounts for far more than 5% off. I'd say this render is 10% accurate. |

With that being said, I actually do like this render.

Scott.26 introduced this picture and made the statement on March 27, '15. I kinda like believing the guy is close to the action. His comments, therefore, provide significant insight. At least to me. Which is why I quote him. The confusion (and sometime, disagreements) about design renderings of the car may be because of something else Scott.26 has mentioned - on several occasions. There are two different M2 designs being considered. The rendering you see here may be the "standard" M2. The other M2 is a more aggressive, aerodynamic, track oriented, design. This yellow car, being the "standard" M2, could explain why, as you have noted, the car lacks, among other things, significantly flared fenders. The other car, with it's aggressive design, would be the one with the more muscular flared fenders. Just some thoughts as as I while away the time waiting for the next reveal. |

Regarding the rear aero, here is the thread which documents what I and Artemis derived from some spy shots. There's a lot in there! This car is mimicking the Vision Gt6 concept far more than people realize http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1087272 |

He posted the yellow render in October 2014 with the following comment:
"Can I tell you if anything is familiar with the new render?Source of this render: CAR magazine - November 2014 issue: http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/spy-sho...shot-revealed/ http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1056723 http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1046911 And here are some visuals (M2 test mule) illustrating why the front fascia in that yellow render is inaccurate: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...01&postcount=1

http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...98&postcount=1 The flares on bmw 2 doors have gotten a lot more subtle, just look at the new M3/4, it's the M3 that has the flares...

the 135 was 1748mm so 55mm less than the 1M....most of the increase represented in mega fender flares!! The width can be designed over in many ways....see the huge differences in appearance between the M3 and M4----the M3 looks so much more aggressive than the M4. |

For a functional reason the F80 M3 fenders are more "flared" than those of the F82 M4.
See my earlier post: http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showp...5&postcount=19 And the M2 base version flares will be more affiliated to the M4 flares than to the M3 flares.

And for sure the M2 gets a wider track than the M235i.

That's because the 4er has a wider track than the 3er so with the M hardware the rear arches are slightly broader because the standard car already has a widened rear track. The 3er is not as wide as the 4er so to accommodate the M hardware they had to bulge out the wheel arches to accommodate. It was not for aesthetics but for purpose.

Interesting. It surely has an aesthetic value, even if not intended.
