Actually, it's not one less day perse; considering the international dateline - when it's 11th in the US, it's well and truly the 12th in Australia 😊

I am so excited to see these, I'm just hoping we can get some more leaks within the next month cause damn I am bored.

Let's hope it will all come with PS4S not like the G80/82 owners that need to pray to win the tire lottery

That center air intake is massive. Even looks bigger than the G42 (expected)

Wasn't a huge fan of LBB on the f87 but the Zanderdoot-doot blue definitely caught my eye

Ask me again when April 2025 approaches (G87 M2 LCI [facelift] start of production).

Design:

G87 M2 rear end: now that's some wide, bulky piece of kit - OK, no 1M Fenders Fest design, but definitely some genuine "hips don't lie" stance (hosting 20" wheels)'; 'Captain Hook'/'question mark' tail lights design;
G87 M2 sides: door handles sitting flush with the body (integrated - no longer 'protruding');
G87 M2 front end: if used to the swirling F87 M2 front end lines, the new boxy 'bare bones' lines design takes some time to sink in - still processing...

This rear end pic was leaked over two months ago and only now did I notice the 'shark fin' roof antenna has a boxy shape, keeping with the rest of the cars design language.

CF roof shark fin

I hope we'll get some INTERIOR color choices this time around.

Well, I was looking at a couple of M4 in the dealership today - one with CF buckets, one without. They both had doorhandles that were not just colour-coded but made of the same material as the seat covers.

Based on what happened to the finish on the doorhandles on my E46 M3, this is a really bad idea unless you're prepared to enforce a 'surgical gloves' rule for not just yourself, but your SO...

Crazy you could get much nicer looking interior options on the M240i's and such compared to the M2. Red leather looks really nice imho.

Given that the standard exterior colors are less than desirable I am hoping we are at least offered red seats.

These are the only two seat options I've come across for the G87.

Code / Upholstery

MANL - Black Vernasca Leather with Blue Contrast stitching
MAPQ - Cognac Vernasca Leather with contrast stitching

In the future models thread ynguldyn mentions the following...

Quote:

interiors: leather Cognac, alcantara/sensatec Black/Blue stitching, and one new design that will be introduced with this model, available in regular leather or Full Merino interiors. Bucket seats will only be available with one interior type, the full merino.

I haven't come across anything that's in Sensatec or the new seat design; doesn't mean they don't exist. Black and Cognac appear to be the only two available seat colors.

Sadly cognac is not that great as it tends to exhibit an orange hue.

Yeah, seems they are very much treating the G87 as they did the F87. Limited colors inside out. My guess for them even offering Cognac is it probably compliments both Zandvoort Blue and Toronto Red.
