One week ago, we reported, with some skepticism, that
BMW had greenlit a car we've been waiting for since the
1 Series M Coupe was discontinued - the M2. Now, we have the first images of that new hotshot underoing testing in Germany.
What's our reasoning here? After all, this just looks like an
M235i. Well, that camo is disguising swollen fenders designed to conceal wider tires. Now, these aren't production changes, and it's very likely that the eventual M2's fenders will look quite a bit different. According to our spy, the front fenders have been borrowed from the
M235i Racing, while the rears are from an unknown source.
Our spies are also quick to point out a few other high-performance items on this mule. The cross-drilled brakes and blue M calipers are one such item, although we aren't sure how much they differ from the optional stoppers on the production M235i. The black wheels are borrowed from the
M3 and
M4, and are shod in what look like a sticky set of Michelin tires.
Of course, we're in the very earliest stages of testing here. We can expect to find out much more about the latest M car, though, in the coming months. Take a look
up top to see what our spies were able to capture of the first M2.
Forget about greenlighting it, BMW is already testing the M2 originally appeared on Autoblog on Thu, 08 May 2014 16:54:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
