Admittedly I was laying on the floor of a dealership with a phone light so I'm sure there's plenty of nuances I missed but any fears I had that the M2 featured G42 components instead of G80/82 (when I discovered the G87 uses forged wheels, for example I was a little worried) - were alleviated.

Yes, I thought the additional bracing was specific to the G87 but as you say it's basically a copy paste of the M3/4.
Not sure if this is a typo but the G87 uses cast wheels.
