I agree that the leaked pic of the rear isnt very inspiring but i would like to see the full reveal before making my decision.I assume from your pics that you feel that the M240i has a better designed rear end.This G87 rear pic from the review test drives has a very nice stance.Would someone in Mexico please leak some full pics.

IMHO the G87 M2 looks better than the G42 M240i. The car is next level.

I see and thats why you want to wait tor the LCI.I agree that they are not the greatest design.I might wait for the LCI because im not a fan of the idrive 8 screen.

And more in general about 'early adopting': remember what BMW has done to F87 M2 early adopters (car releases from April 16, 2016 onwards) in 2017 (LCI: new dashboard layout, different tail lights design) and 2018 (release of the Competition model, replacing the OG M2 for particular reasons, featuring several upgrades for a relatively small extra fee). Not saying that history will repeat itself that way with the G87 M2, but consider it unfinished business of a 2016 F87 M2 owner. Regarding the G87 M2, I'll let BMW put "Impulse" into "Life Cycle Impulse" (LCI).

My only concern with waiting for the LCI is you never know when they will stop making the manual transmission version. BMW dropped it from the MINI lineup earlier this year, so I don't think it's a guarantee it will stay for the life of the car.

Basically cover the taillight with clear tape and outline by hand only the clear/white area (not red). Transfer the tape over to smoked headlight/taillight vinyl wrap; they come in multiple tints from dark to light, I like something in the middle that's not too dark. I use a stencil kit to make sure the lines and curves are accurate. Then just use an exacto knife to cut it out. Make sure the lens is clean, I like to warm it with a heat gun (hairdryer will also work) before applying and working it into place. It may take you several tries to get it just right, but the end result is you get only the clear part of the lens to be smoked out yet is still transparent to let light through. The rest of the taillight stays stock and looks like the pics Artemis posted. I've also done the same on my side turn signals under the mirrors, looks awesome. |

Not sure if you've ever worked with vinyl wrap, but when it's heated up it's super flexible and allows you to mold it into all types of complex shapes and contours. It's really easy to use and inexpensive.
