I would not be at all surprised if it has boxed fenders.

I would guess that we will see it revealed in another 3-4 months if it does not get leaked before then.

If the M2 doesn’t work out, how about a manual Zupra?

Oh wow. If they do offer it on the 6 how can BMW not also do that for the M240i.

I saw that earlier this AM and had a similar thought.

For the same reason they refused to put a manual transmission in a G29 Z4. “The take rate is not there.”

Very cool!

Some observations:

- Both camoed M2’s seem to be auto. I have seen a short clip of one in the past with a manual.
- The two cars seem to be running different rear bumper treatments. See attached.
- It was cool to watch the M2 in one clip be planted right on the M4 CS’s butt.
- Also cool to see the one clip of the M2 with the new C63.

Thanks for the post SCA.
