The BMW 2002 Hommage BMW Never Built—But a Tuner Just Did With the G87 M2

  • A digital reimagining of the BMW G87 M2 fuses retro BMW 2002 styling with tuner-inspired aggression

  • The widebody M2-KS concept features exaggerated proportions, motorsport cues, and speculative flair

  • It’s a render—but it’s already sparking real-world conversations about what BMW could do next

A Familiar Shape, Rewired by Imagination

The G87-generation BMW M2 already carries a sense of visual heft, but this digitally rendered version—dubbed the M2-KS—pushes the proportions to extremes. It’s not subtle, and it’s not meant to be. Shared originally via the designer’s official Facebook page, this concept takes clear design inspiration from BMW’s past, most notably the 2002 Hommage study, and runs it through the filter of digital-era tuner fantasy.

This isn’t a simple Photoshop flex. Every detail in the render has intent—from the sharply boxed fenders to the upright greenhouse proportions that subtly echo the original 2002. But where the Hommage kept one foot in the past, the M2-KS goes fully modern in its visual aggression. There is even air scoop right in front of the hood mimicing the Alfa Romeo Montreal. Which is not a bad thing! 

This isn't the designer's first foray into digitally reviving icons. Before the M2-KS, he created the 2025 TWR Supercat Concept—a bold reinterpretation of the Jaguar XJS under a fictional TWR revival. Like the M2-KS, it fused heritage design with exaggerated modern tuner aesthetics. The common thread? Reimagining classic cars with no factory limits—just imagination and a deep respect for automotive history.

Classic References, Radical Execution

Key retro cues anchor the design—a sloped ducktail rear spoiler, squared-off stance, and exaggerated beltline nod back to BMW’s golden era. But that’s where the nostalgia stops.

The rest is an unfiltered expression of what a hardcore tuner might dream up if they had free rein with an M2. Picture massive fender flares, deep side intakes, vented hood, and a quad-exit exhaust system integrated into a chunky rear diffuser. It looks built for time attack, not dealership forecourts.

Despite being purely digital, the M2-KS is so well composed that it blurs the line between render and reality. The stance is believable. The detailing is grounded. You’d be forgiven for thinking someone, somewhere, is already preparing to fabricate a real one.

Could This Actually Happen?

This isn’t a preview of a production model. BMW hasn’t announced anything remotely like it. But the reception to this design hints at a hunger within the enthusiast community. The base G87 M2, already powered by a 523 hp twin-turbo S58 engine, is ripe for experimentation.

In many ways, this render fills a space left empty by BMW themselves. It dares to ask: what if the M2 embraced its tuner appeal outright? What if BMW took a creative leap and leaned into the exaggerated, the theatrical, and the deeply niche?

We’ve seen independent builders take concepts like these and manifest them through coachbuilt one-offs or show cars. The digital groundwork laid here could be enough of a blueprint for someone willing to bring it to life in carbon and steel.

More Than Just Polygons and Nurbs. 

Designs like the M2-KS represent more than digital art—they’re idea starters. They live where imagination and car culture collide. Even if they never reach production, they often inspire the people who make the decisions—or the people who build in garages after hours.

In this case, the blend of retro BMW DNA with ultra-modern tuner aggression offers a fresh take on what the M2 could be. Not a factory special. Not a subtle nod. Just an unapologetic celebration of what happens when the rulebook is tossed out entirely.
