What happens when you hand over the keys (figuratively) to one of the most creative automotive designers on the internet? You get the BMW G87 M2-KS, a wildly aggressive digital concept by UK-based artist Khyzyl “Kyza” Saleem. It's loud, fierce, and packed with personality which is exactly the type of car that makes you stop scrolling on Instagram. While this isn't a tangible car right now, this render has definitely captured hearts all over the internet.
Modern Aggression Meets Retro Cool
Kyza's M2-KS takes a super solid G87 M2 and provides an attitude rework. But this isn't just any redesign. It's full of references to BMW's storied past. Most prominently, it draws from the BMW 2002 Hommage concept that paid tribute to BMW's rich motorsport heritage.
Key design references are:
- A low-slung front end with new grilles and partially covered headlamps.
- A chunky planted stance with flared wheel arches.
- A ducktail spoiler at the rear that embodies the spirit of old-school racing.
Together this is an intoxicating mix of BMW nostalgia and the sort of design hospitality that can only come from a person like Kyza.
The Widebody Look We All Want
Let’s be frank everyone loves a widebody build done right, and Kyza has hit this one out of the park.
In side profile, there are huge fender flares, aggressive side skirts, and deep-dish bronze wheels that look like they are ready for the track or a car show. The sculpted back diffusers, massive quad-exhaust, and hood mounted NACA duct only add to its presence.
This car might be digital, but the details are so well done you can almost hear it downshifting past you.
Car community takeaways:
- Rides like this appear to come straight from SEMA
- Many think this could inspire real world builds by aftermarket tuners
- The attention to detail makes it feel like it should be real
A Digital Reality with Real Emotion
Although the M2-KS is only a digital design, the project is steeped in real passion. Kyza wants you to know this is not just a design boldly displayed via kyza1n. This is a personal project. He grew up with BMWs (his dad had an E36) and the emotions that drive his work run deep.
This is why fans are connecting with this project:
- It encompasses the essence of both mod culture and tuner builds.
- It resonates with anyone that has ever sketched their dream car.
- It embodies a calculated mix of nostalgia, art and performance in one visual.
This project is not about standout design, but about a story told through a car.
Can This Concept Become Real?
There may not yet be any official talk of BMW developing something like the M2-KS, but it's not out of reach. Kyza's previous designs have even led to some real builds especially in the gaming and SEMA world. Plus, given the kind of buzz this render has already generated, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a shop attempt a full-on custom version based on a stock M2 platform.

Conclusion
Although Kyza's BMW G87 M2-KS may only be a digital render, it has certainly caught the attention of car enthusiasts and fans everywhere. It's bold widebody design, retro-inspired elements, and tunestyle attitude would suggest a version that could – and should – exist in real life. It shows how design, enthusiasm, and creativity can breathe fresh life into familiar vehicles. Who knows, maybe a shop will soon be adopting this digital concept from the screen to the streets.
