To me that looks like a different bumper than the leak.

Given that you can get analogue-esque gauges on the 2 series, I wonder if the M2 would have the same option. I doubt it though because the M2 seems to have Idrive 8

No shot. It'll have iDrive 8 with the new curved one piece screen.

What makes you think it will get iDrive 8? The M240i only has iDrive 7 and they have always had parity. I know there was the one prototype that had a cobbled together version of iDrive 8, but I'd be surprised if that made it to the final car.

It has already been confirmed that the G42 will only have i Drive 7 with the current gauge layout for the 2022 model year.For MY23 it will get iDrive 8 with the new curved screen and so will the G87.

NOOOOOOOOO!

Where did you hear this for sure?

Why would BMW spend all that money on a one year only dash.

The future model thread has confirmed it.

We're already getting a car with iDrive 8 within the next 6 months and the M2 will be out a whole year after that. By then iDrive 7 will be a thing of the past.

Does iDrive8 = curved screen with a kickstand?

Can't they do iDrive8 with a more integrated curved screen? The curved screen in the iX matches the futuristic EV type car. I guess. But does it match with an M that is supposed to be a drivers car?

Looks like they are.It probably is a special model.I’m pretty sure ynguldyn mentioned he didn’t see the carbon buckets as an option in the base car.

Sign me up for a base model with 6spd manual. I sure hope it's around $65K

It's really hard to tell. I want to say it has them, but I can't tell if it's just my mind telling me I what to see. The buckets would be huge on this car if available, they're the only thing I liked about my G82 when I owned it. If the new M2 has them as an option I'll likely get one.

Are they really worth $3,800+ in upgrade? That's a heck of a lot of money. Residual value on them is probably only 20%…. Do they improve the experience that much??

Probably the bare bones model before dealers add another 5-10k on top of course. I was personally hoping the options would be super simple like the f87

Seems like they're adding more camo to this car...could indeed be a special edition.

The anticipation is KILLING ME! THIS is the BMW worth waiting for right now. I drove the X3M Competition recently, and that engine in an M2C is going to be stupendously incredibly amazing!!!!

Just promise me that either Thundernight or Technoviolet will be an available color.
