It's a rather subtle change though so not saying you're wrong.
Actually, I did forget about one - you're correct. That was a first as far as I know (at least in recent history, if not all the way back to the original M5). But then the M2 itself is an outlier in more ways than one - it didn't get a unique engine until years after launch, and the 2 Series probably wasn't even conceived with the S55 in mind. So it stands to reason that they had to rework the front end to accommodate it. Prior to the M2 Competition, the M2 shared the grill with the 2 Series, including both the original and the LCI models.
