It looks like the same body as the regular M240i, unlike the F87. The regular M240i has the wide rear fenders as well.
Also that wide dash screen looks out of place in the M2.

This mule still has a lot of camo on it. Check out some of the pics back several pages where more of the plastic molding on the test mules is removed. The camo also makes it hard to tell how wide the car is. It's wider than the M240i, there's no way they could fit the G80/2 drivetrain onto it otherwise.

Am really hoping for a new steering wheel. This one is getting old and is used pretty much across their entire lineup.

Anyone figured out if iDrive 8 uses an OLED display?

I know officially the BMW i7 rear screen has 4K resolution but no confirmation if it's OLED, just conflicting reports on iD8..

Since the MY23 for m240i will change over to these idrive8 screens , it seems then m2 will automatically receive the same treatment unfortunately

Headlight vents must not be neccessary as they have been covered all during testing. Just a styling piece.

This render is a collaboration between Project_F87 and myself based on him seeing the car without camo. I took this render and tweaked it to more accurately depict the G87. Note, the car he saw was more of a light blue, similar to the 2002 Hommage. This still gives you a pretty good idea of what it'll look like.

So with that logic, the side vents for the GT3RS or GT2RS must not be useful either huh? They were always covered during testing and development also. Scarcely ever saw them open until the very end right before car reveal

Why cover and camo the interior? It's the same as all the other new Bimmers that are being released, or so it looks. Even the console appears the same. And of yeah, that steering wheel is on everything too.

Not saying they are not functional, just not necessary for months of testing.

992 GT3RS vents have be open during testing.

Literally in both of those pics, the vents are blocked off 😂 thanks for proving my point. I'm talking about the intake vents at the rear hips, not the front louvres

What makes you so sure? I hope you're right...the 7 wheel looks fantastic. I've been pleading for a D shaped wheel for years.

The dash layout has no business being in a sports car.
Just reeks of cost cutting.
