Introducing the BMW 2002 Hommage Concept Based on the M2 (Updated with our live pics)

Danyutz · 05-20-2016, 01:34 PM

Love it when designers are left in the field to play with no rules.

Fantastic looking concept, filled with with all types of design delights.

Thank you BMW!

Those taillights are from an i3.

Okay that front spoiler really is damn ugly - what the hell is this thing? The back looks nice though

Zirenz2006 · 05-20-2016, 01:38 PM

Looks horrible

N & M · 05-20-2016, 01:38 PM

The M2 gets better and better. This car just takes the already amazing 2 to a different level. Best Kindey and bodywork homage treatment yet.

Please BMW gives this car as a CSL, GTS whatever but make this thing happen.

Daaaadadundun · 05-20-2016, 01:44 PM

Looks good and aggressive as a BMW should look. Waaaay better than the M2.

DRTMGRT · 05-20-2016, 01:47 PM

That color, them wheels.... Me likey.

Tracyis300 · 05-20-2016, 01:55 PM

It's not that bad looking but the color is horrible!
Love the wheels though.

SkyLord · 05-20-2016, 01:56 PM

Love it even though it's just a design exercise really lol they could've made it look better by going safe and true to the original. But that's next to the point this is a hommage to a great car... My dad had a tricked out 2002 at age 17.. my passion for BMW was kickstarted before I was even born in part because of this car!

AtlantaDude · 05-20-2016, 01:57 PM

Uhhhhh yeah. I LOVE this shit! That thing looks awesome!

imserious · 05-20-2016, 01:59 PM

From most angles this car is ugly and as a cohesive unit disgusting.

However, as concept car, there are a few interesting design elements displayed such as the floating wheel arches from the front that I could see working in a different application.

Please tell me this is a design study and not an actual prototype to be built.

jts1981 · 05-20-2016, 02:02 PM

Really surprised at all the hate.

I think this car looks stunning, much better than. The current M3/M4. This thing looks mean, and those wheels.....epic....

BMW 2002tii · 05-20-2016, 02:02 PM

Wowzers!!! It's epic!

Want one yesterday....

Love the lights front and back - lovely mix of old school and new tech, reminds me of the 80's M3's....

ChipXpert · 05-20-2016, 02:03 PM

Concept cars are love or hate.
There isn't much in between on most of these cars.

I like this one.

Kristalov · 05-20-2016, 02:06 PM

Looks good to me. I love the built in snowplow

4corners · 05-20-2016, 02:09 PM

BMW is consistently moving away from my tastes.

JustChris · 05-20-2016, 02:21 PM

Absolutely love this. M2 CSL clues here too.

Ric in RVA · 05-20-2016, 02:23 PM

I don't get it. Don't see any 2002.

I do see 3.0csl and it would be a better CSL tribute than the one BMW did.

W/// · 05-20-2016, 02:25 PM

Like this way better than that last 2 door concept.

JRV · 05-20-2016, 02:26 PM

Other than the vertical slants y the lights I think it looks pretty pimp

M3 Number 86 · 05-20-2016, 02:27 PM
