Sam Smith writes for Road & Track, and man, his writing is a very compelling reason to get a subscription. I think he might be the only guy on the planet that gets to drive more cool cars than Chris Harris.

Here's an interview with him about the experience of driving that 2002ti at Laguna Seca. Based on the tone, I'm pretty sure he wrote the answers and the questions.

Sam Smith flogs an Alpina 2002ti at Laguna Seca
Like drinking an entire pot of coffee and then hot-footing the world's tiniest Camaro in the rain.

Excerpt:

Very much Sam Smith self-deprecating humor. The guy is way more humble than he has any business being. He also

.

So yeah, I've got a bad man-crush on Sam Smith. Shut it!

So which really cool BMW motorcycle does he own?

Look wise, this thing destroys the M2

Nice paint job, but how does it run?

Imola.ZHP · 08-20-2016, 06:29 PM

Pretty standard stuff for pre-production cars. It is unlikely that it contains anything related to the 2002 Hommage conversion.

Standard for US cars. Not exactly sure what is the difference on the F87, but on some cars Cold Climate Version means different air filter box and a different CCV. Hot Climate Version usually got a bigger fan

If this car ever hit the market it would without a doubt rocket to #1 in the BMW desirability scale. BMW BUILD THIS CAR

raysspl · 08-22-2016, 07:12 PM

Haha that's such an awesome livery

nemex12 · 08-22-2016, 10:59 PM

same old 2002 hommage concept with new wheels and colors. looks good but not wow by any means as it's a previously revealed concept. still, would've been a cooler m2 if they could keep the m2 headlights

DCG · 09-07-2016, 01:50 AM

BMW build this car!

This is what the M2 should look like.
