Mutant M2 is inspired by 50 years of 2 Series

A mutant version of the M2, conceived to pay homage to the 2002 is turning the 2016 Monterey Car Week into a media frenzy.  Different from the model shown at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este earlier this year, the updated version has a retro livery theme to celebrate 50 years of 2 Series production

“The BMW 2002 Hommage celebrates the extraordinary feats of engineering on which BMW turbo technology is based and reinterprets them in the form of a design study,” said the head of design at the BMW brand, Karim Habib, in a statement. “With its iconic orange/black paintwork, the car has a color scheme and livery synonymous in the minds of many motorsport fans with the triumphs of the 1970s.”
