G87 M2 vs G42 M240i compared in pictures

fanofbmwe46 · 10-12-2022, 08:09 PM

How long will the screen last without burnt pixels? Wonder what an out of warranty replacement will cost in 10yrs..

Nice breakdown

donm527 · 10-12-2022, 08:56 PM

Mentioned in the videos... the M2 and G42 share the hood, doors and trunk lid.

If I get an G42, I look forward to a more robust aftermarket with the M2 out that may benefit the G42.

It could still use a tasteful side vent.

I m digging the car…really like how it turns out now

Side vents in carbon but got to pay

The G87 M2 looks fantastic. Love the wide aggressive proportions.

This thing better be capable of 220mph and such as the amount of winglets is kinda …. Unjustified!

In white I now do quite like some of that but yet again hell no to the vinyls.

burnt pixels haven't really been an issue since the days of plasma TVs....

Ah, well I clearly didn't watch the video 🙌🏻

playswcars · 10-13-2022, 06:59 AM

And I thought the G42 was a wide car, especially with those stick-on arch extensions. But man, that G87 is brutal!

Yea, I like this vents design better than the one on the F87...they look more purposeful and badass

MattM240eye · 10-13-2022, 08:29 AM

I dig it, it looks much better than the spy shots lead on. I can't wait to see some g42 v g87 videos when it comes out. I love my M240i, so I'm sure the M2 will be a blast. An X drive variant would be great as others have stated.

MParallel · 10-13-2022, 09:55 AM

Very interesting lines.

xmanpro · 10-13-2022, 11:08 AM

Ugh do I want this or a Supra? Egad

Looks like a BRZ with a BMW badge and wayyyy more performance. Interesting

pablom2c · 10-13-2022, 01:34 PM

Sorry for my Photoshop skills but I made some changes and I think it looks better. One I added the M3/M4 headlights, and on the other option I made the headlights without the grill like the M240i.

What do you think?

I like the first pic best, but the one with the M240i headlights just doesn't work on this bumper. I wish they had double lensed headlights like the M3/4. All they really have to do to make it fit the theme is make the halos boxy.

Bimmerfun82 · 10-13-2022, 01:48 PM

Top one looks great, now give it a huge vertical grille…. Just kidding

Thanks for doing this. I've been curious how this looks. Do you mind changing the grill from horizontal slats to vertical?

The last iPhone I traded in was 3yrs old and had a burnt pixel

Yeineken · 10-13-2022, 01:55 PM

Anyway to retrofit the 240i kidneys into the M2? Would possibly save the M2s front design.
