They look like they would be held on by tabs which is similar to how BMW does the grilles. So removing them shouldnt be a problem.

Ordered the red “M1” and “M2” buttons from you guys yesterday!... side note, I wonder how long it’ll take before current m2 owners do everything they can to make it “look” like a competition. I’d assume the bumper/grilles so many claim to “hate” now, will be on the top of their list

I will agree that some of the parts will be "borrowed" from the M2C (mirrors, seats), but I think the front fascia might be one that people hold off on...I know personally that the Vorsteiner lip on my OG won't fit the new bumper's shape, so I wouldn't make the swap...plus that new grill is just fugly - I don't think people "claim to hate it"...I think they just hate it...unless maybe you have BSM...and it blends a bit??

Haha, great clip. One of my favorite movies of all time... I know I’m in the minority here, but I actually like the new grille and did as soon as they released it. It gives it a much meaner look IMO and differentiates it from everything else. Idk, I guess I just think change is a good thing and just slightly changing the bumper instead of the bumper and the grilles wouldn’t have been much of a substantial change from the current m2 considering it’s a more substantial car

All the new BMWs are changing their grills. People will warm up to it and eventually like it. The first time I tried single malt scotch at 10 years old I hated it. Now I have acquired a taste for it.

Guys at IND, before you are doing a car in the U.S. we Europeans never see, why not do a car in Europe so that we can finally showcase your quality on this side of the Atlantic Ocean...

I would love to have an IND Europe here, if only that was a possibility then I would know it would do really well, because so much of what you guys have on offer we would love to fit on cars here in Europe (or maybe in other parts of the world).

Hey! I just went to your site. You are the first site that I've seen that actually allowed me to select M2 Competition as my car for selecting accessories. Good job!

I just looked at the red M1/2 buttons on the IND site. Not sure how I feel about them, they stand out like a sore thumb.

I have gone to look at the AW M2C @ Bill Jacobs many times, and that is one thing that I truly don't notice as much now. I think the new front end is "beefier" enough to offset the elongated grills.

From straight on, less than 10 feet away, the car looks really angry. And that's how I think the OG M2 looks too - just executed in slightly different ways.

I like them both.

Agreed. I've tried to like these but as you say they stand out like a sore thumb and steel the whole focus of the cabin.

I think they are "too red"...if they were the same shimmery, toned down red to match the oem red starter button they would be perfect.

Each to their own but until then, im out!

IND what we really need is one of these red buttons:



This would work great with the new carbon roof and would be an honorable way to ditch your OG M2 seats and then replace with M2C seats, all sourced from IND of course...

ITT: People crapping on the OG M2 again. Does it ever end? Can we get one thread where people stop acting like ALL older M2 owners are insecure about their OG M2 and desperately want to look like the M2 Competiton. It's getting old really quick.

Honestly, there are more people crapping on the M2C than OG M2 in this forum.

Maybe I haven't seen it lately but I swore it died down but that's just me not being thorough enough to search every thread.

Are they a direct bolt on to the original m2? If the underside bolting points are the same and i can reuse my lightweight splitter, id love to retrofit this onto my car, i always thought the fangs were disproportionately large on the original

Maybe I missed it but I don’t see anyone crapping on the OG M2 in this thread...

I have an M2c on order but have lots of love for the OG M2.

Both are great cars!
