Fake M2 convertible anyone?

wjjkoevoets · 09-30-2017, 10:22 PM

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet, but it seems someone got the bright idea to convert their M240i convertible into a pseudo M2:

Supposedly has "modified software" pushing it to 402hp. A used M2 would go for that kind of money over here...

Gotta say - that looks great

C'mon BMW, put out a M2 ragtop - I know of at least one dumb Canuck who'd buy one.

I would definitely be interested here too :-)

If those rear fenders are good quality and not shitty fiberglass I'd be all over that to fit some decent sized rear tires on this car.

Supplier?

CAMOETO · 10-01-2017, 10:30 PM

... just no

I like it, but guessing what they'd have to charge for such a beastie, if it existed, I don't think I'd trade my m235i vert for it any time soon.

According to the description it's original OEM stuff.

Exterior:
///M (Blue) brake calipers, Original M2 front and rear bumper, M2 wide rear fenders, carbon fiber M-performance side skirts / wings, M-performance wings front bumpert, M-performance carbon fiber spoiler, m-performance carbon mirrors, carbon kidneys

The reason I don't like it that much is because it looks really strange from the side:

The front looks messed up IMHO.

harma24 · 10-02-2017, 05:54 PM

Not only is it a M2ish, convertible, but it's an xDrive too! I guess if you're going to fake it, you might as well fake a lot!

I wonder how much it would cost to swap out the rear fenders and diffuser, you'd have to add a quad exhaust too. Did anyone ever price it out? I assume it's far more than would be worth doing for most people.

How about this fine specimen of a super rare M5 import

Gave him a thumbs up and a huge grin as I drove past

wdc330i · 10-02-2017, 09:23 PM

When I took my car in for its LSD, there was an “M328i” sedan in the service lane in front of me.

I don’t even call my 240 a real “M” car.

Reminds me of this picture of Mike Tyson:

Most modern convertibles don't look right. They look like rolling bath tubs because of the high belt line and DOT safety requirements of wheel well to belt line height. IMO there hasn't been a good looking convertible BMW since the e36.
