Holy shit, Batman!

Looks like a beast when it's moving. Flares are SICK.

That's the best footage seen so far!

Looks very stable and sure footed on the limit!

Does sound very much the same as my M135i though...

Thanks - Best post ever in this forum. It looked like the car has a square tire set up with the same size tires from and back.

I don't know if it the camo playing tricks on my eyes, but it looks like at 1:36, 1:43, and 2:08 that there is a side intake on the driver's side rear fender.

As you may have noticed, the video features four M2 test mules (likely manual + DCT):
License plates: M-HF5400 | M-HF5502 | M-KJ5136 | M-KJ5137

I add also this new video to the M2 test mule video compilation:

I replayed the video several times looking at the exact same thing; however, I believe it's simply a black swirl within the camouflage. I'm relatively certain that SCOTT26 stated there would be no rear-side intake (I do not recall which thread it was in).

I don't believe there is a vent, but the panel contours in a way where it looks like there is one. In other words, the M2 is going to have a very sculpted body.

Based on these recent sightings, it's going to be easily discernible. Of course aesthetics are subjective, but I'm all Looking forward to the reveal.

Time to suck it up and go talk to dealers... It feels very E46 to me. I like it.

side intake on the rear fender flares. Meaning it looks like on the driver's side right ahead of the wheel that there is an opening. But that pic you posted has the dark spot(s) on the bumper looks like the "intake" in the side fender flare. Look at 1:36, 1:43, and 2:08. I think it is just the way the camo is, and it is a black spot on the camo.

I'm glad to say it doesn't look too wide, looking at the tyres the front and rear look almost the same size and smaller than an M4

6spd or DCT? It sounded like a regular automatic transmission when it shifted in a couple of those clips.
