The BMW M2 Convertible doesn"t exist. Not officially, anyway. But this is no hallucination, either: a German tuner by the name of Lightweight Performance has turned a regular 2 Series Convertible into a full-on, open-topped M2. We suspect it might not be so, um, lightweight. "Visual conversions from a 2 Series Convertible to an M2 already exist," explains Lightweight. "So that would be no challenge for us at all." Their challenge instead, then, was to insert the M2 Coupe"s exquisite list of technical content into a body it wasn"t really designed for. Naturally. This Lightweight car nicknamed Hillary" for reasons we really don"t understand gets M2 axles front and rear, the M2"s diff, modified rear track-rods, Bilstein clubsport suspension, and even transmission, DSC and diff software from the hardcore M4 GTS.
