M2 vs M235i both with full M Performance parts
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Now i drove my M235i one year the upgrade has to come now After long deciding it will be my first love the M3 F80, will arrive this summer. Ordered also the M2 but finally im all into the M3. But back to this, the M2 is meaner and definitly a real ///M for me!! Suspension, the wide track, traction even on wet roads, the brakes, steering, the manual, the punch everything is insane So i dont miss the "m things" that bmw didnt do. Will share some photos with you guys. |

White does not do the M2 justice, looks bad in my opinion. All three other colors look miles better in stock form. And those stripes...

I'm not a fan of any of the new stripes to be honest.

Those stripes are hideous. Makes the M235i a lot more nicer looking standing next to each other.

i really prefer the m235 front and then the m2 rear. interesting that the fuel door on the m2 is a circle, never noticed that before
a full splitter on the m2 would make a world of difference. Im sure its only a matter of time before vorsteiner and 3d design fix that.

M235. Only because those hideous flared vents for the brake cooling are more subdued.
What was BMW thinking when they went with those? And then to put stripes on them makes them even more disturbing. The M6 a few posts up is about as much as I can take and still say it looks good. You would think that the size of them would scale with the car. I'm mean, it's not like the M2 weighs 4000 lbs. I'm no M-engineer but I bet they could have gotten away with much smaller ones and not made them so Godzilla-ish. But to each their own... Last edited by DaveCM5; 05-19-2016 at 12:56 PM..

M2 doesn't stand out from the 235i in those comparo pics. Visually, they may as well be a 228i and 235i.
