Looks close to production ready. A steel roof on this one?

Thanks for the post.

Thanks for posting, I appreciate new sightings. I do love the skin on the M2, such a muscular sexy shape. She's a looker! Much more to my taste than the bigger f8x's...even w/o a CF top.

I doubt the M2 will come with 275's in the rear, well these sure don't look like it. I'm hoping for at least 265's out back. A staggered set for sure but I'll be surprised if they release the car with the f8x tire sizes.

Obscured by the rear view mirror in the shot (angle).

I hope those aren't the production side mirrors. Everything else looks great (except the skinny tire).

Side mirrors are amongst the last parts to be replaced with ///M mirrors for the production version.

These tires look a lot wider than the M2's.

Decent proportion for stock size here. I'm guessing 265's. I hope they don't drop to 255's in the rear, that's e46 size. The M235i has 245's. I don't think they'll sport 275's so my bet is 265's.

It's a baby ///M...about time you show it to us!
