Vorsteiner G87 M2 at Bimmerfest Europe 2026

Bimmerfest Europe is one of those events where I’m always surprised at the amount of cars. But there are always cars that stand out between the usual crowd of modified Bavarians. Walking past the rows of G-series M cars, something about this G87 M2 just felt… different. It wasn’t shouting for attention, but the color and stance pulled me in. I ended up having a chat with the owner, Nigel, who had driven all the way from the UK to be at Bimmerfest.

G87 M2

The car itself is a 2023 BMW M2, built by Regal Autosport in Southampton. What really sets it apart is the full Vorsteiner VRS carbon fibre aero kit. Fitted by Kustom Kolors in Christchurch and imported from California in 2024, this could very well be the only fully VRS-kitted G87 in Europe right now.

BMW M2 GT and M1000R – A Legendary Tribute

I rarely feature motorcycles, but when I do, it has to be something that complements the BMW M2 GT built by GP Products. This M2 is crafted in the style of the legendary E36 M3 GT, and the BMW M1000R bike shares the same distinctive accents. That means plenty of carbon fiber and the iconic British Racing Green from the original E36 M3 GT. This duo was spotted at the recent Bimmerfest 2024 in Holland.

The E36 M3 GT holds a near-mythical status among BMW enthusiasts. Introduced in 1994 as a homologation model for the FIA GT Series, only 356 units were produced, all painted in British Racing Green. The BMW M3 GT featured a 3.0L inline-six engine, delivering 295 horsepower and 323 Nm of torque, propelling the car from 0-100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds. This performance was achieved through the use of different throttle bodies, special camshafts, and a higher compression ratio.

M2 GT

Now, this M2 “GT” G87 built by GP Products, a modern homage to the E36 M3 GT. The most striking feature is undoubtedly the instantly recognizable British Racing Green. Additionally, the wheels are styled like the original Motorsport wheels, though they have been painted in a striking copper/gold color.
