Here's our shots of the latest M2 prototype from its testing session today at the Nurburgring. It's looking more and more buttoned up and production ready as we approach its reveal later this year and its start of production in November.

Nice looking pics.I was hoping we would see some new test cars with the carbon fiber roof.These new pics don't have it,so as W has already said,it probably won't have it.

There is something new.
Look at the opening on the upper front wheel arch and you will see typical M air breather which will include the M insignia on a decorative detail across the opening. But this is a new prototype.

Looks like a beast. And just like I expected: the flares are neither like the M3 or M4. They are unique, more in between. This is exciting. Now, imagine it with a hood bulge. That would be the cherry on top.

Love the front disc glow!! Fender flares don't seem as pronounced as I was expecting, but you never really know until you see one in person. Looks great nevertheless!!!

Really? I personally think the fender flares look great and seem to follow the lines of the car.
