Good find! IMO the all black mono kidney grill doesn't suit LBB. The dual steel frame grill suits it better.

It's confirmed already we don't....
These are test cars and will honestly most likely be crushed...
They are not US spec.

Nah. Steel grills always look bad. This is an upgrade from previous years IMO. The whole front end is nicer.

They have to be US spec to drive on US roads. Look at the reflectors on the front bumper.

Only thing confirmed was that the US cars will not get OPF and that was pretty much it. Also, as reported before, the OPF is not in the muffler so that's not why the new muffler is huge. No one knows why it got so big all of a sudden. I really hope I'm wrong on this but unfortunately the US spec cars will be getting this enormous muffler too IMO.

at least we can still put a "legal" aftermarket exhaust on it...

Maybe it is for sound improvement since many people complained about the S55 exhaust note.

Stock M3/M4 Comp sounds just like M2 Comp if not slightly better (deeper) and has fairly small muffler compared to the one on the M2C. I doubt they made it huge to improve the sound.

I think its the same muffler just looks bigger on the M2.

The ONLY way to make an S55 sound good IMO is a single large mid-pipe. AA will be my first call.

Does anyone know if this car has the stock wheels or the “black” wheels? If these are the stock colour then they are black enough for me!!! I’ll ditch the black optioned wheels off my spec!

I think its an upgrade *shrug*. I'm just glad the headlights don't have that dumb inward line like the M3/M4.

Grills will also look better once they have the M2 badge in em.

Will look horrible with stripes but they all do.

No idea - I'm in the same boat as you. I think these are the standard, just dirty. Wish we could get the VIN's from this car.

Seriously? I mean...to each their own...but I just don't see it. I know you can say that I may have bias...but on LBB specifically...IMO the "old" grills clearly suit the lines of the car better.

The FOV of the M2C image is exaggerated.
