Great pics.

Amazing how it looks almost white in the inside shots. The bi colored wheels look really nice too.

The middle of the front really needs some mesh or something - that would help fill it out, if that makes sense.

So the very sharp, almost perpendicular angles “work” better in person in your opinion?

It seems to look better from further back, in pictures at least. All the pics where people are up close or have zoomed in just seem to lack cohesion.

Just look at the armrest, it isn't even merino.

It looks like the seats only get the smooth merino leather. Which might look odd to be honest.

The rear was not an issue for me in person and because of the backlash it had already received from the leaked photos I spent an abundance amount of time looking at it.

I see a resemblance to the E36 in the front and I owned one new. I never cared for the front of the E36. Thankfully it drove well.

That's lame what a rip-off

Configurator definitely needs to mention the merino is only on the seats. So owners don't get surprised the center armrest, door tops, dash isn't merino. Calling it "full merino" is confusing, when you compare to building a M3/M4.

Those look like 825m wheels to me. Can't get over the square blocks on each corner. Hopefully it will look better in person.

All the hate, yet the same old guys continue cruising the g87 threads. The great irony? They'll be behind the wheel of a g87 before the generation gets phased out for a 10,000 pound batterymobile.

Was pretty much my point too. Amusing to hear so much complaining about possibly one of the last great ICE hi performance sedans. So many have bought into e cars will "save the planet" movement lock and stock and barrel. Just mindlessly follow the herd and buy what we tell you to buy right. Their are so many unaddressed issues with e cars . The net carbon footprint gains are basically zero right now. The issues with battery production, charging them and disposing of them are numerous and have not been addressed. Enjoy and appreciate these performance cars while manufacturers like BMW are still producing them.

To Ellisis212: Funny repost but not a BOT haha. Just a 65 yr old old school guy that appreciates what BMW is still building and yes, loves Kid Rock. Enjoy your silent remote control battery operated cars kids. This old man is going down fighting with his M3CS 04 Cobra Terminator and this gas hog.

This car looks like they were planning to do the big grills and decided last minute due to public opinion to close it off. Can someone Photoshop bigger grills?

I feel as if the M2 is the tuner boy car that previous owners of Hondas/JDM cars move over to lol

The car didn’t have full merino leather.No leather on upper and lower dash.There was also no leather on the upper part of the interior doors.Only the carbon bucket seats-and rear seats had merino leather.No idea why BMW is calling it full merino leather for cars with the carbon fibre bucket seats.

I think they are.It’s just that on the 930M they have some spokes in all black compared to silver on the 825M.

And the black spokes appear to be slightly inset as well. Subtle difference, but it's more than just different color pattern

So? 😆 aren’t most of us “tuner boys” I mean why if you tune a German car it’s cool but not a Japanese car?

[Tryboz]

There's times I really love the look of the car and then other times not feeling the front and rear designs. At least its not the massive kidneys I really despise

Our government forcing e cars down our throat is depressing. The infrastructure is no where near where it needs to be if everyone bought one. Of course that does not matter to the tree huggers and rock lickers. I get the need and there is some cool stuff happening with e cars but I don't want one. Ever. So for the 5% of enthusiasts that no longer wish to live in a world without internal combustion please BMW keep giving us what we crave like this bad azz little sedan. Let the other 95% and the next generation save the planet. Don't worry, guys like us will be extinct soon. Wow, Got off track. Rant over.

I do not like the way this car looks but I agree with everything else you said.

im starting to dig the front fascia now but that rear bumper.. is just hideous

That makes no sense, that's literally what 'extended leather' is.

That's why it's a scam

It’s literally called “full merino” on UK and EU configurator. Yet it is nothing like actual full merino. The center arm rest doesn’t even have matching leather. Doesn’t look right.

Nice looking !! With that being said I may be a little bias but I like the front end better on my m240i . But man I love the rear end especially with the quad tips 👍🏻👊🏻
