Unleashing the Beast: How Extreme Customs Transformed the BMW G87 M2 into a 552HP Powerhouse
The BMW M2 has long been revered among automotive enthusiasts for its combination of fierce performance and striking design. But what if you could take that already impressive package and turn it into a ferocious beast on wheels? Enter Extreme Customs, the German tuning house that has ingeniously unleashed the full potential of the G87 M2, affectionately dubbed the "Brooklyn Bodybuilder". With a stunning aerodynamic makeover and a remarkable power upgrade, this modified M2 is not just an eye-catcher; it’s a serious contender on any track.
The Audacious Transformation: Body and Design
While the factory G87 M2 has received its share of praise and criticism, it’s hard to deny that it possesses an aggressive stance right out of the box. However, for those who crave even more intensity, Extreme Customs has delivered. Starting with a low-slung AC Schnitzer front lip, the team remarkably enhances the vehicle's aerodynamics and looks. This front lip doesn't just add flair; it also claims to significantly increase downforce for better handling at high speeds.
On top of that, the modification features matching winglets on both the front and side bumpers. Notably, Extreme Customs has opted to paint the normally black AC Schnitzer components in the same striking Brooklyn Grey as the rest of the M2, creating a seamless and cohesive design aesthetic.
Enhancements at the Rear: Spoilers and Diffusors
Moving to the rear, one can't help but notice the presence of an eye-catching carbon fiber wing sourced from Alpha-N. This addition brings back fond memories of the E36 LTW cars, perfectly complementing the overall aggressive styling. The dual-component diffusor from AC Schnitzer further emphasizes the tuned M2’s performance capabilities, proving that looks can indeed translate into functionality. With only the company’s logo and letters spelling out “Alpha-N” adorning the wing, it combines elegance with sportiness.
A Side View that Commands Respect
The side profile of the Brooklyn Bodybuilder is a sight to behold. Bolstered by 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Wheelforce CF.4-FF R wheels, the car boasts a distinctive and imposing stance. Additionally, the wider Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tires—285 at the front and 305 at the rear—further enhance both aesthetics and grip on the road. With KW Variant 3 coilovers lowering the car’s stance, both style and function are now harmoniously intertwined.
Complementing this bold stance are paint-matched side skirts from AC Schnitzer, which provide a wider appearance that completes the car's aggressive profile. Together, these modifications result in a car that is as intimidating as it is beautiful.
Unsurpassed Power: The Heart of the Beast
Beyond its striking appearance, what truly sets this BMW M2 apart is its newfound power. With assistance from GRAIL Tuning’s “Combine it Legal” package, owners can expect an impressive boost to 552 horsepower—an estimated increase of 20 percent over the factory output. This power increase is not merely a bragging point; it translates into significantly enhanced performance on both the streets and the track. Weighing in as a street-legal setup, owners can enjoy the euphoria of a high-performance vehicle without the legal headaches that often accompany aftermarket upgrades.
The Ultimate Driving Experience
For those who may question whether the G87 M2 truly needed more power, the answer is a resounding yes. The “Brooklyn Bodybuilder” showcases what can be achieved through thoughtful modifications, allowing BMW enthusiasts to experience their sport coupe in a spectacular new light. While some purists may argue that the core experience of the M2 was already excellent, the transformation demonstrates the potential of this platform when handled by skilled tuners.
Ultimately, this Extreme Customs modified BMW M2 serves not only as an example of what is possible through customization but also stands as a beacon for those seeking the perfect blend of performance and aesthetic appeal.
