What about fitting the M4 M Performance wing on the M2 ?

I usually hate mods of this kind, but somehow on these pictures I sorta like it... Much more than those big (taller than the stock thin lip) M-P carbon fiber spoiler.

Sorry to say, but that looks like an M2 punching above its weight.
And as we know, wing spoilers are more about function over form. You don't want to see the wind tunnel and track test results of this configuration. It will be more of a nuisance for the car and driver. Thanks for the effort, anyway.

Sure thing - when I said I unexpectedly like it, I assumed it would be fully functional and tested aerodynamically....

They say M Performance parts are tested in wind tunnel and that some are more form over function than others obviously. This can't be said about 99% of aftermarket parts, though.

Nice renders and it looks half decent. I won't want it on my M2 but I'm not going to be tracking my car (maybe once or twice but not enough to need any sort that needs extra downforce).

I'd love to see the M4 M Performance Lip spoiler for the M2. I think the more aggressive style would suit well - but without a duck tail boot lid I'm not sure exactly how it would pull it off.

The right spoiler on the right place. Well that's how i see it, If it would serve a bigger purpose of holding the car down then maybe it would be ok, But for looks i wouldn't go with this approach i would rather choose a larger duck tail boot or the current carbon fiber one and i think this would kinda be in the way when backing up the car :-) but not to say a BMW M2 CSL Wouldn't look like this or a GTS version of it but then we would be talking power outputs of around 450 bhp+ for it to help i guess.

Any way talking about performance, i will not track test my m2, so performance will be barely noticeable in road conditions if i add those small winglets or any aero parts. I’m sure 99% of the owners of \\M cars, Porsches, Ferraris etc. will not get even close to dominate the vehicle to its maximum performance or limits, so talking about aero parts, will be a matter of esthetic instead of performance. As I can see, some of you like it others don't, it’s a matter of choice, respect for all opinions. Last edited by iroger; 11-18-2015 at 12:17 AM.. |
