In BMW’s history, they constantly try their best to make a better car after another. When it is time for new models to be released of life cycle changes to happen, the goal is to make the newer one better than the predecessor. That is how technology works and companies who never fail to impress are mostly the ones that succeed in the global markets.
However, it all depends on the taste. Some BMW enthusiasts like the old versions better than the new ones. Some feel that way because of emotional attachments while some, because they prefer the older features than the new ones. Not everyone is a fan of technology and the requirements of the changing times, especially when it comes to the automotive manufacturing industry.
In these images below, the BMW M2 is shown as it arrives in the Dutch BMW dealer’s preview even a few days ago. The moment to the container is opened, the car looks stunning. The BMW M2 is like a shiny new toy, determined to impress any one who is looking at the window.
During the same event, it just so happened that its predecessor, the BMW 1M was there. It appeared in its exclusive Valencia Orange glory and the photos of the two cars side by side are simply stunning. The 1M still looks stunning and some may say it has better wheels and stance overall. BMW has definitely done a great job in ensuring that this car had a character. For some, the BMW M2 wins the comparison. It looks modern and the 1M can look dated beside it. The features are new and pleasing to the eye.
And then again, it is all based on preference. Which one would you choose? Thanks to H. Lorenzo Automotive Photography for the great images!
