The BMW G87 M2 may be the most controversial performance car to hit the market, at least in my lifetime. Not from a performance standpoint either, but controversy surrounding the unique and somewhat blind-sided body language from the M Performance team. BMW has taken us through the wringer with many big changes to their design language in recent updates. The G87 seems to ruffle the most feathers with its square and bulky bodylines that don’t follow much from its older sibling, the F87.
Well, whether you’ve loved the most recent M2 from its 2022 release or have grown to appreciate BMW’s take on the chassis, Vorstiener has entered the conversation with a reimagined carbon fiber aero program that has us wanting to acquire a Toronto Red M2, stat! This is the VRS Carbon Fiber Aero Program. Vorsteiner has always been a staple for creating some of the most stunning aftermarket upgrades primarily focused in the German manufacturing category. Vorsteiner develops outstanding kits for BMW M line with a massive and recent success with reimaging the M3/M4 G8X generation. So much that it’s difficult to see a properly finished G8X that isn’t fitted with a piece from the Vorstiner M3 / M4 Aero Program. While we love the finish of the G8X program, there is something evolving about the new M2 release. If you aren’t aware, the Vorsteiner brand is also the same as Gunther Works; the brilliance behind reimagining the Porsche 911 into what Gunther Werks is. From what I see, this program carries a lot of inspiration from those design concepts for the refinished Porsche 911s.
The kit is composed of the following five features:
VRS Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler – Check It Out at Vivid Racing
VRS Carbon Fiber Hood – Check It Out at Vivid Racing
VRS Carbon Fiber Vented Fenders w/ Slated Carbon Side Skirts – Check It Out at Vivid Racing
VRS Carbon Fiber Bootlid – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

This aero program is sold à la carte and can be creatively acquired one by one or all five pieces to activate the program entirely.

1.) Vorsteiner VRS Aero Bootlid Carbon Fiber PP 2×2 Glossy BMW G87 M2 2023+
A testament to precision engineering and cutting-edge materials. Crafted with Vorsteiner’s signature carbon fiber, each piece is meticulously manufactured using state-of-the-art aerospace autoclave technology.
This bootlid is a full replacement for your OEM trunk. With the seamless duck-lip style spoiler that has carbon exposed on the inverted backside of the lip, we can’t deny the Gunther Werks aesthetics cross-pollinating with the Vorsteiner design concepts. This extended duck lip compliments the rear end of the G87 very well. The OEM fitment of this bootlid also appears to be spot-on, maintaining proper spacing.
This advanced process ensures unparalleled rigidity, strength, and flawless finish in every aerodynamic component. What sets Vorsteiner apart is their utilization of resin pre-impregnated, vacuum-formed carbon fiber, resulting in a product 20% – 30% stiffer and stronger compared to traditional wet-lay-up methods.
Not only does this technique elevate performance, but it also significantly reduces rejection rates, leading to faster delivery times. Vorsteiner employs a strategic combination of unidirectional, 1×1, and 2×2 weave carbon fiber to achieve the perfect balance between weight reduction and structural integrity.
Thanks to their innovative vacuum-formed technology, excess resin is drawn out during production, effectively shedding unnecessary weight without compromising strength. This meticulous process ensures a precise fit and finish, seamlessly integrating with the factory shut lines and contours for a flawless aesthetic.
With Vorsteiner, you can trust that each carbon fiber component is engineered to elevate both the performance and aesthetics, in this case, with the BMW G87 M2, setting new standards in aftermarket excellence.
2.) Vorsteiner VRS Aero Rear Diffuser w/ Under Floor Carbon Fiber PP 2×2 Glossy BMW G87 M2 2023+
This carbon fiber diffuser is truly a work of art. Establishing a strong presence surrounding the exhaust tips is a game changer for this rear end.

3.) Vorsteiner VRS Aero Vented Fenders w/ Side Skirts Carbon Fiber PP 2×2 Glossy BMW G87 M2 2023+
Trying to establish that widebody look to your G87 M2? This is the best we’ve seen yet. Vorsteiner is providing a front fender replacement with wider, carbon-vented front fenders. These look absolutely unreal paired with the included slated side skirts. Yep, those side skirts are fully carbon as well.
4.) Vorsteiner VRS Aero Hood Carbon Fiber PP 2×2 Glossy BMW G87 M2 2023+
The GT3-inspired bulk, yet sleek styling of this carbon fiber hood is exceptional. With three large active carbon fiber vents at the top of the hood, this testifies that this kit is for more than “just for show.”
5.) Vorsteiner VRS Aero Front Spoiler Carbon Fiber PP 2×2 Glossy BMW G87 M2 2023+
Tying this whole kit together is a gorgeous 1-piece front lip spoiler that is breathtaking! If you are running a snug fitment on your G87, on man, this is going to make your car’s stance LOW! It appears to extend the front lip about 2-3 inches closer to the ground, tightening up the clearance for an incredible stance. Appearance aside, I really like what Vorsteiner has done with this front spoiler design. There are tons of thoughtful lines that I would imagine are contributing to some serious additional downforce on this front end. This front spoiler is a must-have.
Featured Wheels: Vorsteiner VFX 002 Gloss Black Concave Wheels BMW M3 G8X | M4 G87 2023+
This mid-split five-spoke design is absolutely stunning on the G8X and G87 chassis’. With an aggressive, bespoke fitment, these wheels provide a flush finish that is perfect. While the spoke design isn’t something that we haven’t seen before, the slotted, aero-disc style is an excellent touch. Vorsteiner designed this with functionality in mind. The machined slots provide cool air to be propelled into the brakes to assist with managing high temps from the brakes. From an aesthetic perspective, we are getting some futurist motorsports vibes. the glossy black finish gives the tires the appearance of some big ol’ sidewall. Personally, I love it.
Remember, we can send this out to you, mounted and balanced, with your tire of choice. Swap those old ones out in the driveway and be onto your next cars and coffee with a new fit.
As always, if you are interested in acquiring this aero program for your BMW M2 G87 or have any other questions about paint matching, finishing options, fitment, or availability, please reach out. One of our stateside BMW Performance Specialists will be standing by.
