UPDATED JANUARY 23, 2015:



Updated with more photos, this time of a more advanced prototype body testing in Sweden. The black M2 prototype wears the same body as the red M2 spied back in September, which shows the production bound M styled front bumpers, rear diffuser, fender flares, and quad exhaust. There may be other bodywork yet to come, but you should expect to see kidney grilles with double slats and M2 badge on the production car.

Why has the M2 prototype seemingly gone backwards in development compared to the prototypes we've shown you with more final M2 styled parts? Well, most of the differences we can see with our eyes are merely cosmetic in nature - front bumper styling, fender styling, wheels. BMW is still able to test mechanical components (engine, suspension, differential, etc.) without the cosmetic bits that we've seen on the more 'advanced' looking prototype (see red M2 posted below).The prototype seen here is basically an Estoril Blue M235i with box fenders, much like the earliest M2 prototypes we spotted.
