[QUOTE=zero21;29764423]I can see it on my desktop now. I really hope they have this car at Daytona this weekend...

Confirmation, ZB M2 at Daytona. Hope it suits you, or if not, we still have plenty of other colors to choose from ; )

Some new pics from the Rolex 24h: https://www.reddit.com/r/BMW/comment...tm_name=iossmf

Just don’t look at the comments section. Reddits sheer hate for this car is astounding.

Nothing astounding about hate from a community that doesnt matter such as a toxic social media waste of time. Collectively the voices there are worth what????????? Zero lol. Next they will hate paper or chocolate or something else. Social Media is not social and its barely media. Its just noise with false values for corporations moving adverts.

Reddit is incapable of hate, it's the humans commenting there that hate the car. Check out the comments when BMW M posts M2 pics to their Insta account - you'll see more of the same.

Reddit tends to amplify negative emotions, there is alot more balanced selection of people on an instagram post like this for example. It isn't all positive (3 negative comments and some spam) but generally positive. There's an older of a ZB m2 with alot more hate, personally I think the angle in the first few pics and ZB as a color are doing the G87 no favors, but I think it's pretty telling how few negative comments there are when it's posted with a more flattering color/angle.

On reddit you can have a post like that with 985 upvotes, (94% upvoted) and all the top comments are negative. This is because negativity is "edgier" and "funnier" and people who think "oh that looks fine" aren't going to even go into the comments section, but people who prepared their little hate boner are prepped to comment and only upvote comments that agree with them.

I've noticed more and more that even on the same subreddit you can have two threads where the comment consensus is wildly different based on the wording of the title bringing in people that have strong feelings about it. Everybody has seen a ton of pictures of the G87 now, the only ones foaming at the mouth to comment on reddit are the people who want to shit on the design. Everyone in my circle who is into cars either really likes it or thinks it's perfectly fine, and both me and my wife love it, which is all I really care about.

I like Reddit and generally find the commenters to be cool but there is something about the M2 that really gets their dander up.

Fine by me. The more people that loathe the M2, the sooner I get mine!

Those people on reddit who are making the negative comments...probably have an order in to get one.

G87 in ZB looks better than any F87. My opinion.

I agree, the f87 is extremely soft and feminine, but the g87 is boxy like the e30/e36. I actually think the ZB being soft (which I luckily can get away with as my daughter's will be in the car with me 95% of the time) on the boxy meaner looking g87 will be a bit ironic and am oxymoron.

I still like the f87, but the g87 in my opinion is much better looking.

Too bad there isn't a PhotoshopGPT, we could ask it to take the best qualities of the F87/G87 and merge them into one. Everyone would love it and spend the next several months discussing how that's what the M2 successors design should have been all along.

I think I'd like it less if it looked more like the f87.

I suggest trying to see it in person, I like d it way more in person than any of the photos. The shape has a better presence in person too.

I agree.
But the color in person is as bad as in the photos.
