Yes and yes

The G87 is my last hope to stay with BMW. If the M2 doesn't appeal to me after the reveal, I'll hold onto my F80 as long it takes to get a 992 allocation.

When the F8x came out, I had an emotional "had it have it" moment. Couldn't wait to get my hands on one. The current BMW generations have not created that reaction. It's very meh. I'm not spending close to $80k on a car that doesn't excite me.
The G87 has a lot going for it. Doesn't have the big grille, gets the S58 from the start, unlike the F87 it'll have adaptive suspension, etc. The only downside I've seen so far is that some parts of the interior will be slightly smaller than the F87 and the Gxx series cars have gained a lot of weight. I wouldn't be surprised to see it weigh anywhere from 250~300 lbs more than the F87. That's the single factor that bothers me the most. Maybe they'll prove us wrong (yeah, right).
The G platform has grown overal…a G42 m240i is basically the same weight as a G80.

So i don't expect the M2 to be lighter than that…last gen M2 was even around 100kg heavier than the m240i
OG M2 weighed in at 3450 lbs give or take

The G Series lineup are a bunch of porkers
