The BMW G80 M3 and BMW G87 M2 are the pinnacle of excellent driving machines that showcase the brand\u2019s commitment to appearance and performance.  Follow us as we dive into the details of the current BMW M3 and BMW M2 models, and how these performance inspired machines make for the ultimate BMW head to head battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BMW M3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The G80 M3 delivers a sophisticated ride with advanced technology that enhances both comfort and performance. Equipped with a potent inline-six engine, it delivers exceptional horsepower and torque, making it a thrilling ride on both the track and the street. What separates our shop BMW M3 from the pack is our hand-picked selection of genuine carbon fiber products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We kicked our build off with the BMW 3D Style Full Carbon Fiber Front lip<\/a>. This front lip gives a nice touch of aggressiveness to the front bumper without overdoing it. The lip itself is crafted in a meticulous 2\u00d72 carbon fiber weave, and blends seamlessly with the car\u2019s body lines, enhancing its visual appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, we went all out with a BMW G8X M3\/M4 Full Carbon Fiber DTM Hood<\/a>. This carbon fiber hood is the perfect modification for both function and form. Not only does it match the front lip seamlessly, but it beefs up the entire overall appeal of the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To finish off the front end of the BMW M3, we finished off the front bumper with the CSL style grilles<\/a> which are paired with a set of carbon fiber brake duct trims. We like to say these parts go hand in hand as they compliment each other very nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Moving to the side profile of the G80 M3, we\u2019ve upgraded all angles of this ride with Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps<\/a> and a set of Carbon Fiber OEM Side Skirts<\/a>. Both of these products exemplify what it means to upgrade a quality vehicle with high quality modifications, as their unmatched styling bring flashiness to even the most bland areas of the M3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The rear of the vehicle has received a complete carbon fiber overhaul featuring the CS Carbon Fiber Trunk Spoiler<\/a>, and a full wraparound carbon fiber diffuser package including the OEM Carbon Fiber Diffuser<\/a> and Carbon Fiber Performance Style Diffuser Side<\/a> pieces. This gives the rear bumper that full and complete wrap around look that will turn heads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The BMW M2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand is the all-new BMW G87 M2.This new BMW M2 is a compact, agile sports car that emphasizes raw driving pleasure. With its shorter wheelbase and lighter weight, the G87 M2 is designed for enthusiasts who prioritize handling and responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first mod for this baby was throwing on our signature RWS carbon fiber front lip<\/a>. This gives the front end of the car the perfect sleek and aggressive look it needs. This front lip is crafted from dry carbon fiber and is a 2×2 weave, which will match all your existing carbon pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Moving along we went with the Carbon Fiber Air Duct Trim<\/a>s paired with the GTX Replacement Grilles<\/a>. These help spice up the front bumper while they also help channel airflow. The carbon slat gives these grilles a very unique look while still keeping it sleek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the largest appearance upgrade on our BMW M2 is the Carbon Fiber DTM Hood<\/a>. This hood has aggressive body lines to it as well as a functional vent that allows heat to escape the engine bay. The hood is crafted from genuine 2×2 carbon fiber weave and is finished with a clear coat that helps prevent damage over time and perfectly matches the look of any RW or OEM part you have installed on your BMW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t forget about the side profile of the M2 so we matched the Carbon Fiber Mirrors Caps<\/a> with our signature RWS Carbon Fiber Side Skirts<\/a>. These skirts sit flush to the ends of your rocker panel and elevate the side profile of the M2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, we had to end the build off with our signature RWS trunk spoiler<\/a> and the GTX Carbon Fiber Diffuser and undertray<\/a>. The trunk spoiler accents the trunk very nicely without overdoing it. The diffuser completes the full wrap around look of this build while making a bold statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When pinned against each other, the M2 and M3 create the ultimate BMW head to head battle. Which do you like better?
