Kyza’s M2-KS Unveiled

The M2-KS

Meet Khyzyl Saleem, though car enthusiasts might know him better as ‘The Kyza.’ This guy is famous for pushing the boundaries with his virtual car designs that sometimes leap off the screen into reality. He worked on that eccentric Jaguar XJS for the TWR Supercat project and now he’s put his unique touch on one of BMW’s most talked-about models—the G87 M2. Saleem’s approach is refreshing, transforming the M2 into something that’s both sporty and refined. It might sound paradoxical, but that’s the charm of the M2-KS. It’s like taking a well-tailored suit and giving it a rock-and-roll edge.

The 2002 Spirit

Flashback to 2016 when BMW introduced the 2002 Hommage Concept at the Villa d’Este Showcase, a nod to the classic BMW 2002 from 1971. Saleem took inspiration from this vintage model for his latest rendition of the M2. He stayed true to the spirit of the original design but widened the stance and track both front and back. Those boxy M2 flares have been swapped out for something more streamlined and aggressive. Think of it as tasting a perfectly aged whiskey with a zingy new twist—sharp, yet effortlessly classic.

Driving Feel

Now, when it comes to how this ride would feel on the road, imagine blending raw power with silky handling. The G87 M2 already packs a punch with its inline-six, and Saleem’s version doesn’t shy away from that core strength. The sheer force of the engine might get a boost from the modified bodywork, giving this M2 an even more commanding grip on asphalt. Think of dicey hairpin turns where the car effortlessly breezes through, providing a thrill that’s just on the edge of control.

Future Hopes

While it’s unlikely that BMW will roll this version straight from the factory line, considering its extreme styling cues like the NACA duct, it fuels the imagination for what’s possible. Khyzyl Saleem’s designs have the power to influence future models, much like the Vision Neue Klasse concept which is set to inspire BMW’s next-gen aesthetics. Glimpse into the future and maybe, just maybe, one might see these daring design choices reflected in production models. Until then, the M2-KS stands as a testament to the artistry of car design—both as a challenge and an inspiration.
