BMW M2 Long Term Review, February 2025 Report

Gone are the days when you had to take a new car to the nearest car accessory hub to kit it out before you could hit the road. After all, with the number of ECUs and kilometres of wiring in new cars these days, you would be hesitant to add anything aftermarket to the mix. In this case, however, there were a few things that were imperative before the M2 could deal with our roads at the very least.

Now, there’s no question that this high-performance engine, which produces in excess of 450 horses, needs to suck in vast quantities of air to combust for forward momentum, but it also requires adequate airflow through the numerous radiators in the front of the car – all of which are completely exposed behind the front air dam, not to mention an oil cooler in the underbody (behind the front valance) that’s almost entirely exposed to the road surface.

Fortunately, a UK company named Zunsport makes a set of grilles that snap right in – without requiring any modifications whatsoever. For me at least, the addition of these grilles was non-negotiable. Finally, the only other addition was a full body PPF – Paint Protection Film – that should protect against scratches and swirl marks.

Both these “mods” should provide a great deal of peace of mind and ensure that the M2 looks and feels brand new, hopefully, for a long time to come.
