Wow that rear end is looking great! Waiting to see the final reveal of the front, but overall the car looks pretty promising

Would you do LBB again if they offered it?

Solid choice. I'd probably be thinking the same but I just can't get over the fact that it's going to be on everything sooner rather than later.

Yeah I handle the inventory at my dealer and I probably get a Brooklyn Gray order a day (X3 30i, M440, M240, etc etc). I bet when the 3 series and X5 get their LCI, Brooklyn will be available as well.

It won't since BMW gives M2 terrible residuals.

I think previously there was capacity issues building M2, now that manufacturing has moved to Mexico, the volume should be much greater so hopefully lease rates will be more competitive.

It can be done. I have a car seat (front facing) and booster seat in the back of my F87. The front facing car seat is a bit of a pain but in a few months both my kids will be in boosters so it will be easy.. Rear facing is a different story. I could do one rear facing car seat on the passenger side but the front passenger seat had to be all the way forward. I assume the G87 will be a little larger inside too.

That being said I would be in a G80 6MT in my situation if I could afford it right now. 4 doors does make it a lot easier with kids.
Lol I only have 1 backseat occupant, but she's all too familiar with getting in and out of my old F22.

Any idea why the front parking sensors are tacked on in separate housings whereas they're integrated into the bumper on every other BMW? Doesn't make sense

They have generally been the same RV as base 2series coupe(if anything a little worse). New 2series coupe still have terrible RV compared to 3/4series.

I see. Yeah that is quite a bit haha
It's an amazing color though! Exactly what I was looking for on the F87 but wasn't able to do it unfortunately

I like it. Looks muscular and better execution of the front grill than the M240

Really hoping those lower grills come paint matched and not black.

Also, this rear end looks AGGRESSIVE. Let's get some renders of that.

No, that’s not what I’m as referring to. At the 36-37 second mark of the video I posted you can clearly see the turn / hazard signal blink yellow.

okay, but you said that it "stood out". For the 2 series that is normal, the new m2 has the exact same front blinker as the m240 behind it in the spy shots. The only thing "different" is that they have more camo on the lights so you can't make out the whole light but you can easily refer back and forth between the m2 and the m240 DRL's and see that they are the exact same.

The front bumper on the spy car looks like a place holder unless there building new housing for the front lights witch I believe would be a first. All the vents and grates also look cheap. I assume they are doing this on purpose to throw off media. I think it will be more in line with the above renders or the m3 bumper.

It's way too deep into testing for these to be a place holder bumper. We've established this will have different headlights than the G42. This is the real deal.
