In fact, internet photos just do not do the car\u2019s design justice. It\u2019s still weird looking, even in person, but it\u2019s much more aggressive looking in person and that gives it some real menace. However, there\u2019s always room for more aggression, which you can get with some port-installed M Performance options, like the M2 seen in these photos.<\/p>\n<p>In these photos, this BMW M2 wears a simple Alpine White paint but it\u2019s also festooned with port-installed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/03\/31\/2023-bmw-m2-with-m-performance-parts-watch-video\/\">M Performance parts<\/a>. If you\u2019re wondering why I keep rattling on about them being \u201cport-installed,\u201d there\u2019s a good reason. Port-installed parts are those that are ordered with the car and installed by BMW after the car lands on our shores but before it leaves the port to head to dealers. Hence the name.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_450418\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-450418\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16.jpg\"><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-450418\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-830x818.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-830x818.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-1039x1024.jpg 1039w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-768x757.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-1536x1514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16.jpg 1578w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-450418\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20818%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-830x818.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"818\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-830x818.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-1039x1024.jpg 1039w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-768x757.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16-1536x1514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-16.jpg 1578w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-450418\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @Jasonsoko Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Port-installed M Performance parts are desirable because they\u2019re installed by BMW techs, not dealership techs, and they\u2019re on the car before a dealer even gets its hands on the car. More importantly, though, is that the parts are backed by the full factory warranty, while parts installed by a dealer are not.<\/p>\n<p>The actual parts themselves in these photos aren\u2019t anything new, as we\u2019ve already seen the M2\u2019s suite of M Performance parts. However, the M2 that BMW kept trotting out to display its M Performance parts was wrapped in an orange livery that isn\u2019t available to customers, which was a bizarre decision. Sure, it looked interesting but it gave off the completely wrong impression of what customers could expect from their cars. This one looks just like a car that customers can expect when they spec M Performance cars on their car, in a realistic location. It is cool to see what the heavily customized M2 looks like in a very real life setting, like a parking garage. It proves just how well the M2 will stand out with these parts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_450424\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-450424\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-450424\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-830x817.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-830x817.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-1040x1024.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-768x756.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-1536x1513.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22.jpg 1572w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-450424\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20817%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-830x817.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"817\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-830x817.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-1040x1024.jpg 1040w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-768x756.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22-1536x1513.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/BMW-M2-M-Performance-Parts-22.jpg 1572w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\"\/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-450424\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: @Jasonsoko Instagram<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This BMW M2 has essentially the entire catalog of M Performance parts thrown at it. So it has the side strakes, the front lip spoiler, the fixed rear spoiler, and even some black graphics that contrast its white paint.

Not only do they increase its wow-factor but they\u2019re installed by BMW, before it even gets delivered to you, and their price increases are factored into your monthly payment and included in the warranty.<\/p>\n<p>[Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jasonsoko\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Jasonsoko Instagram<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new BMW M2 is more aggressive looking in person that it is in photos.
