What makes the ARD quad canards different from standard aftermarket canards?

Most aftermarket canards are aesthetic additions that generate marginal front downforce through a simple pressure differential. The ARD quad canards for the G87 M2 are developed by ADRO's motorsport engineering program to perform a specific aerodynamic function: managing the vortex structures initiated by the ARD front splitter and containing the turbulent air thrown inboard by the rotating front wheels. The quad configuration; four canards in a stacked, sequenced arrangement; is designed to build vortex strength as the structures travel rearward, creating a sustained airflow curtain between the splitter endplates and the front wheel arches.

Why does front wheel turbulence matter so much for underbody downforce?

The front wheels generate high-pressure, turbulent air as they rotate at speed, throwing it outward and upward. If that air spills inboard across the underbody, it reduces the pressure differential driving the floor's downforce and degrades the efficiency of every downstream element; particularly the mid-floor undervanes and rear diffuser. The ARD canards are positioned to contain that disruption at its source, keeping the underbody's working environment clean and the floor operating closer to its designed efficiency throughout a lap.

What does the 2,555N downforce figure refer to?

That figure refers to the complete ARD Aero Package for the G87 M2 at 180 km/h; not the canards alone. The complete system represents a 1,254% increase over the stock M2's 189N. The canards are one of several contributing elements; their function within the system is primarily airflow management rather than direct downforce generation.

Why does prepreg matter specifically for canards?

A canard's aerodynamic function depends entirely on its angle of attack; the angle at which it meets the airflow. A canard that flexes under aerodynamic load changes that angle, which changes the vortex it generates and degrades the airflow management it was designed to deliver. Prepreg carbon fiber holds geometry under sustained aerodynamic load without flexing, so the canard produces the same vortex structures at the end of a session as it does at the beginning.

What is included with the ARD quad canards?

Each set includes 2 left-hand and 2 right-hand prepreg carbon fiber canards, plus rivets for installation. Fits 2023+ BMW G87 M2.

Description

ADRO ARD Carbon Canards for G87 BMW M2

Canards are one of the most visually recognizable elements in motorsport aerodynamics; and one of the most frequently added to aftermarket builds without any real purpose. On most kits, they generate marginal front downforce and function primarily as visual signals that a car is serious. ADRO’s motorsport engineering program, ARD (ADRO Racing Division), developed the quad canards for the BMW G87 M2 to do something specific: manage the vortex structures initiated by the ARD front splitter and contain the aerodynamic disruption that comes from the front wheels.

What is ARD?

ADRO’s motorsport engineering program, ARD (ADRO Racing Division), is built for drivers who demand more from their car on track. Every ARD component is developed the same way motorsport aerodynamics are: CFD simulation and track-tested before anything reaches a customer. Scott, ADRO’s Head of Aerodynamics, brings an F1 development background to every ARD project. The G87 M2 ARD Aero Package is one of the first full systems to come out of that program.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
