Air brakes?

Does it bother anyone but me how close this beast of a machine is parked to "others"?! It pains me to look at this photo.

That is a little funky. The M engineers have been loving the extended rear bumpers for some reason. That little detail feels unfinished. Oh well, can't be getting a new car for a while. Haven't had the m240i long enough.

Overall, it's quite hot I must say.

duky · 10-17-2022, 09:02 PM

that's a good looking car!

Agreed, I'd even settle for the ubiquitous Portimao Blue...the only 2 colors I could really live with from these choices are AW and BG and I don't think either of those colors really suit the G87.

I bought a Supra 6 months ago as a stopgap and I must say it's a fun car. Not as powerful as other cars I've had, but very well balanced and 3400 pounds seems like a featherweight compared to M cars these days.

It does look really odd at this angle. It makes a little more sense when you see it from here, but it's probably my least favorite part of the design.

If I was a little more cynical, I would say they designed the questionable rear bumper with the M Performance pieces in mind..

Anyone notice how it doesn't go through in m decoder?

Probably to keep the cost down….

I'm an F87 fanboy but my reaction is positive and only getting better everytime I see this car. Can't wait to see it on the road. Side profile is really nice.

I do hope they offer more colors in a year or two when I'm in the market for one.

I never warmed up to the G80 design so I'm just glad they didn't go with the vertical grills.

I like that they updated the dash with specific M graphics.

440i6MT · 10-17-2022, 10:22 PM

Second best-looking M-car ever designed.

From this angle it makes more sense. But straight from the back, geez. Eye sore.
But personal opinion the car looks better than I thought it would.

Hopefully this gets fixed with the G87 LCI

Not exactly easy on the eyes

I'm sure that's the BMW UK car park, I doubt anyone's worried about it.
