Let me get this out of the way in which first—BMW shouldn’t be going to make a convertible M2. There are not any plans to even make a convertible 2 Collection at this level, as small convertibles simply don’t promote effectively anymore. So there’s positively no M2 Convertible on the way in which. Nevertheless, that doesn’t imply we will’t ponder what if and ask whether or not BMW ought to rethink, particularly after this beautiful accurate-looking render lately got here out.
Surprisingly, this BMW M2 Convertible render appears fairly dang good. The render artist, Thanos Pappas (who made it for Automotive Scoops), did a terrific job making it appear lifelike, whereas additionally designing it effectively. The way in which the soft-top roofline is included into the automotive’s profile appears actually good. I don’t suppose BMW might do it higher. In fact, they most likely simply took the roof from one other convertible BMW (the last-gen 2 Collection Convertible, mayhaps?) however it actually works.
It additionally proves that this new 2 Collection form appears good as a convertible, with the highest up or down. The flat shoulder line works effectively with the boxy, flared rear wheel arches, so it nonetheless appears muscular even with out the roof. The render artist did it in three totally different colours; blue, pink, and yellow, with the latter wanting the perfect. It has a Velocity Yellow vibe and it appears extremely enjoyable for a convertible.
So now we all know the BMW M2 would look good as a convertible. Does that imply BMW ought to make one? I’m of the thoughts to say sure. Rattling the revenue margins, overlook the shareholders, and throw yearly revenue/loss studies out the window. That is the last-ever inside combustion M2 in historical past and the final time we’ll ever see a purely piston-powered I6 M automotive. Ship the M2 off into the sundown the best approach and provides it as many enjoyable physique types as potential. Positive, it is going to lose cash as a result of virtually nobody will purchase it. However it might be cool and BMW hasn’t finished something cool merely for the sake of being cool in ages.
Plus, it might most likely be a blast. Positive, it might be even heavier than the M2 already is (and it’s shockingly heavy) however it might add a lot extra theater to the driving expertise. The sound of the exhaust, the wind in your hair, and all the smells of the atmosphere would flood the senses. All whereas sliding sideways via corners. Doesn’t that sound prefer it’s well worth the funding?
