LEAKED: New BMW M2 Gets Bespoke Bumper

The latestBMW 2 Serieshasjust been shown offat the Goodwood Festival of Speed following itsglobal revealearlier this month. The reveal almost came too late, asa leakhad shown what the new 2 Series would look like just two days earlier, but if you follow BMW's goings-on religiously, you'll know that leaks of new products and features are nothing new for the Munich-based automaker. So just as the novelty of the new 2 Series is starting to wear off and we start wondering aboutthe next M2, a leak arrives showing what the high-performance 2 could look like, at least from the front.

The images you see above come viaBimmerpost, although the original source, said to be somewhere in China, has not been confirmed. As we can see, it appears that the nextBMW M2will follow the lines shown on the regular 2 Series, but draw more attention to their squared proportions. The lower grille expands to beyond the width of the above kidneys, which are pictured here as standalone elements with the new M-specific horizontal slat design. Below the headlights, the side intakes will be squared too. Carried over from the regular 2 will be a central radar sensor for advanced driver assistance systems.
