The design element I really like here are the slats integrated into the headlights, which mirror the grills. Maybe it was only me, but I thought that it would just be a plain open vented area. So, a pleasant surprise at least to me that there is a neat design que to them.

They could have priced this thing near $60k with M240i seats standard.

I knew all along we, the U.S. were not getting the base seats with the Alcantara.

I was skeptical since the m240 gets worse seats than euro. But glad us is getting the m sports as standard since I'll likely go for those

More ZB

WWM3 · 10-11-2022, 10:18 PM

It sounds like I am in the minority here, but I like this color. I also enjoy the headlight design. Possibly inspired by 1980s BMWs?

T_U_D · 10-11-2022, 10:40 PM

More ZB… ZB with the new 2023 M 1000 R and TR & ZB.

Out of all the design choices on this car, this part right here bugs me the most. I'm not even sure why… but it just feels so amateurish and like they couldn't find a better way to shape the panels.

Commanderwiggin · 10-11-2022, 10:41 PM

Yikes! Red was definitely the better choice...

When it is rock chipped beyond belief and it has a million small rock impressions you just replace the rocker panel.

Bimmer07 · 10-11-2022, 10:44 PM

I like the front a lot. What makes the rear weird is the distance between the taillights. Why they put them so far away from each other? Almost like on the quarter panel

S4boost · 10-11-2022, 10:47 PM

You really think they snapped these like last Wednesday?

*bimmervibe · 10-11-2022, 10:48 PM

More pictures I see more i like ZB. Can't wait to see it in person. I like light blues and this cloud be my choice if I decide to order the basic m2

evo213f10 · 10-11-2022, 10:50 PM

Good gracious...M2 is 🤦. Easily one of the worst design from BMW. I ain't jumping on the bandwagon......

You have to see in person for it to make more sense. It aligns with the fender flare and defines it even further.

Disappointed, I wanted to see if the blue looks better in other settings. Instead we’re left with a handful of pics, and a few frames of one of their teaser videos.

All the red car reviews were filmed 6 months ago

And more I look at the rear and more I think It's the most interesting part of the car, in a good way!Sorry

AlexFL · 10-11-2022, 11:27 PM

I would like to see the G87 in BSM. I think it will look great, especially with Xpel Stealth on top.

While I agree that color choice was controversial the videos were shot 6 weeks ago and embargoed till after the official release so I doubt they knew then by picking that color it would generate controversy.

TR saves the day!

MR RIZK · 10-12-2022, 01:32 AM

Shame the seat memory is on the door like the G8x as that is the only nice aspect about the car that I would retrofit to the F87.

In saying that need to see in the flesh otherwise I'm just being a keyboard warrior..
