Scott Disick has a thing for cars. Actually, that’s an understatement. The man treats a garage like a rotating museum of high-end Swiss watches—only these tick at 7,000 RPM and cost more than most people's houses. But while he’s usually seen stepping out of a widebody Urus or a "Queen Elizabeth" inspired Range Rover, his BMW phase hit a little differently. Specifically, the Scott Disick M2 build—a car that started as a "budget" project and spiraled into a full-blown obsession.
He literally called the BMW M2 his "high school car" equivalent. Except, most of us in high school were driving beat-up Civics with a rattling exhaust, not a brand-new G87 platform that's been ripped apart and put back together by the best shops in California.
The Lord's Entry into the G87 Era
When the new G87 BMW M2 first dropped, the internet hated it. The "Lego block" styling and the weight increase from the previous F87 generation had purists crying in the forums. Scott? He didn't care. He picked one up in Chalk Grey and immediately sent it off to 2wrap in Westlake Village.
The first iteration was all about the "Black Olive" look. It wasn't just a wrap; it was a statement. They used an APA/EVOLV vinyl that shifted between a deep forest green and a moody black depending on the light. Honestly, it saved the car's weird proportions. By blacking out the door jambs and adding some initial carbon, the car started looking less like a toy and more like a predator.
But for someone like Disick, a wrap is just the appetizer.
V1 vs V2: The Studio RSR and PQ Performance Overhaul
If you follow the build's timeline, the car went through a massive "V2" evolution. This is where things got serious. The project moved over to Studio RSR and PQ Performance to address the one thing Scott actually cares about: the stance and the sound.
One of the funniest—and most relatable—parts of this build was the suspension drama. When the car first arrived at Studio RSR, they found some "interesting" issues with how the initial lowering kit was sitting. It wasn't right. Scott’s a perfectionist, so they ripped it out and went with a full SPL suspension component suite and a properly dialed-in height adjustment.
The Modification List (What’s actually under the hood)
It wasn't just a "parking lot queen." The Scott Disick M2 build was spec'd to actually move. Here is what we know was shoved into that chassis:
- Aero: A full TR87 body kit from AUTOID. This added that "OEM+" look with a more aggressive front splitter and carbon fiber side skirts.
- Performance Cooling: Upgraded CSF Cooling radiators and a custom manifold. These G87s run hot, especially if you're pushing the S58 engine.
- Tuning: A custom ECU tune by Cary Jordan. Jordan is basically the final boss of BMW tuning. If you want your M2 to scream, you go to him.
- Wheels: Velgen Wheels. Specifically, a set of lightweight alloys that filled the fenders perfectly without needing spacers that ruin the geometry.
Why the M2 over the M3?
You’ve probably seen the headlines about Scott’s $150,000 G80 M3 build lately. That car is a beast, but the M2 project was arguably more personal. Scott has gone on record saying the M2 is the one car that makes him feel like a kid again. It’s smaller, more tossable, and—unlike his Rolls-Royces—it doesn't feel like you're driving a luxury yacht.
There’s a certain "if you know, you know" energy with the M2. It’s the enthusiast's choice. While the M3 is the boardroom executive who does MMA on the weekends, the M2 is the scrappy street fighter.
The Reality of Celebrity Builds
Kinda makes you wonder, right? Does he actually drive it?
Actually, yeah. Disick is frequently spotted around Calabasas and Hidden Hills in his various builds. Unlike some collectors who keep their cars in bubbles, he’s known for actually putting miles on them. The M2 was built to be a daily driver that could hold its own at a car meet.
The build also served as a bit of a bridge for his son, Mason. Lately, the two have been seen together at shops like Cen-Cal Motorsport, with Mason getting involved in the specs for the newer M3. It seems the "Bimmer bug" is hereditary in the Disick household.
What Most People Get Wrong
A lot of people think celebrity builds are just "checkbook racing." You drop a car off, write a check, and pick it up a week later. With the Scott Disick M2 build, it was a bit more collaborative. He was involved in picking the Black Olive color and specifically requested the TR87 kit after seeing it at SEMA.
It’s easy to dismiss these cars as vanity projects, but the technical specs on this M2—especially the SPL suspension and the CSF cooling—show that whoever was advising him (or Scott himself) actually knows what makes a car handle. It’s not just about the carbon fiber; it’s about the bits you can’t see.
Actionable Insights for Your Own Build
If you’re looking to replicate the "Disick Look" for your own G87 M2 or any BMW project, here is the blueprint:
Prioritize the Stance First
Don't just throw springs on it. Scott’s build struggled with a cheap suspension setup early on. Invest in high-quality coilovers or a height-adjustable spring (HAS) kit like those from KW or MSS.
Go Bold with the Color, but Keep it Classy
The Black Olive wrap worked because it wasn't a "look at me" neon green. It was subtle. If you're wrapping, look at brands like Inozetek or APA for that "paint-like" finish that doesn't look like cheap plastic.
Don't Ignore Cooling
If you plan on tuning your S58 engine (the heart of the M2 and M3), the cooling system is your bottleneck. Upgrading to a CSF manifold or heat exchanger is the "boring" mod that actually lets you use your horsepower consistently without the car pulling timing.
The Scott Disick M2 build eventually paved the way for his even more insane G80 M3, but for many BMW fans, the olive-green G87 remains the "coolest" car in his fleet because it felt attainable—well, as attainable as a $100k+ custom sports car can be.
