2016 BMW M2 Prototype Tackles the 'Ring
The BMW M2 is on its way, as testing on the Nürburgring has begun.
The German automaker has brought the first M2 prototype with actual production bodywork to do some tests on the ‘Ring. Despite some camouflage, it’s easy to see the 2016 BMW M2’s more aggressive styling in addition to its quad-tip exhaust setup, larger brakes and wheels borrowed from the M3 and M4.
