The F87 did not come with particularly lightweight wheels (437s). The standard wheels were 4 and 5 lbs more each than 763s. Which is why I swapped them out.

Hmm, not exactly my thoughts. My experience watching that video is this:

1st clip, wow that Porsche sounds great and looks like it's glued to the track

BMW M2 entering the track right behind it isnt particularly an exciting moment as it is simply accelerating onto the track from the pit (that's normal)

Seeing the bimmer through a few turns later and seeing how planted it stayed has me wanting to put a deposit down ASAP even though I whis it was lighter

The heavy azz Aston got the date wrong and should not even be on any track, let alone on that one at the same time as the M2 and 911

911 is 2 x $$ BMW M2 or M2C

M2C 👀 here kitty kitty, I'm waiting for you

I get the weight argument but also for durability reasons forged is much superior.

Huh?

A simple tune/piggy back w more boost, mid-pipe, and some extras easily over 500 HP/torque for sub$ 2k.

It’s only detuned for customer segmentation purposes to not cannibolize G82 customers.

My order for a BSM is already placed, can’t wait.

Tail lights, how about the weird headlights? They have zero BMW connection.

Come'on dude.

I've driven the engine that will be in the G87 (in an X3M Competition), and I own an F87, and have driven several F87 M2Cs. Also had an S55 M3. The S58 is dramatically more powerful and a much better engine than either the N55 or S55. It's really amazing.

Whilst I agree with you, a car is the sum of its parts, chassis etc included. The S58 without a doubt is the successor as it’s built that way and it’s certain the hybrid successor that will be part electric will best that. I’ve witnessed first hand an A90 Supra, straight line racing, put a number of cars outside of its class to shame with the B58 because the chassis and its weight difference was the factor there.

The G80/82 feels great with the sum of its parts as I’ve driven a few. Certainly a subjectively better drive than my F87 no doubt though I still walk back to the S55 with no regrets. I’m personally looking forward to it actually being as fun as the F87 was to the F82 in comparison.

Weight of DB11 with twin turbo V8 1760kg. Power 528hp. Update will likely be closer to 600. It’s a GT car, not a sports car though. It needs to be comfortable and be quick when the mood takes you.

Weight of G87 1725kg. Power 454hp. So, just 35kg lighter than a large GT car. Interesting. Looks ok in black though.

Its probably really closer to 475hp as is (no secret that BMW power is more than they disclose). Would like to see accurate post-release dyno figures. I dont think a piggyback will get you to 500 tq. though.

Once the downpipe, exhaust and other goodies are available, I will be getting the Femto treatment to unleash the beast in that inline six

Dude, can you please stop posting bs on this forum? There is an official stop sale on the car until 4/8 - FULL STOP. No one has one yet. Post pics or quit spreading bs.

I agree - I think the front would look so good with quad headlights.

The rear end is just a mess. There are a lot of bizarre angles, seemingly at odds with each other, and they're all over the place.

The side profile is good, and the car looks nice in motion, at least in the front and from the sides.

M2 hitting most apexes.. vs. the m4 & Caddy V camo. Noice! Caddy V had some get up n go tho ..geesh ok Caddy GT3👀

Why does it need to be more powerful? It makes more power than the S65 M3 and is slightly smaller in size albeit a little heavier.

If you can't win in this car you simply don't know how to drive.

This looks so much better than those last pictures. I'm liking the 827's and blue calipers so feeling a lot better about my choice with them on ZB.

Uhm, yes, they are pics from wilcoblok and were linked from IG. You can also see the @wilco blok watermark in the bottom right.

I'm confused...that's what I'm saying. The ones previously shown were cropped front to back and you could only see one wheel at a time. These ones show the whole side, front and rear wheels together and are much more detailed.

Wait, didn't you go with a HEA? So you made a choice going with an HEA over custom build however you didn't actually choose any specs on the HEA.

The 827 wheels.

Wow brings me back to watching countless similar videos still in the camouflage days.

This car looks badass in black.

That is because a reel of the same car was posted a few days prior to actual photos. The previous photos were screenshots taken of the reel.

I lost you at AUTOMATIC transmission sorry.
Good luck with your decision. Can't really go wrong with any of them.
On a serious note... how can anyone settle for a "single car"?
