I think the biggest mistake is not making a proper headlight for the bumper cover. If it was a $35k hot hatch parts bin car that's one thing but I don't think it's acceptable at the M2 asking price.

Is the G87 even wider than the M240i? Hard to tell, seems like it's a little wider? I would not expect different headlights just for the M2. Also expecting a huge price bump for this gen. the F87 was a bargin.
On a side note, you can now get a carbon roof on an M340i (in Canada anyways). That kind of blew my mind.

Also, with the amount of new cheap materials like shinny (scratchy) plastic that BMW puts everywhere which looks like shit after a few washes, glued iPads that look installed by two kids in the garage, missing central consoles and the new fake leather that BMW will bring soon, you can forget about some Adjectives like “luxury brand”. There is NOTHING luxury in the materials that are used in certain areas lately. Some may call themselves luxury, but the fact that they claim it it doesn’t mean is true. Depends how educated you are in the field. Not last, some new BMW models make Fiat Multipla look beautiful… |

We had a member that had some insider info that stated the headlights were indeed different. To what capacity I don't know. |

People have no clue how big OEMs and dealer network work together The new M2 should be 1984 mm wide, based on the information we have got, just for reference a Ferrari Enzo is 2035mm With a car this wide, proportions are already so good to make it look wide and nail the stance we all like Let's wait for the final result, but so far I'm not impressed at all |

Does BMW now have more lower entry vehicles? Absolutely. But you can't sit in a loaded X7/750/8 series and tell me previous generations were more "luxurious". |

How heavy are we expecting this thing to be? Sure there will be more tech than the F87, but no AWD like in the G87. I'm sure carbon seats/roof and all will be optional but the base car shouldn't be that heavy? The F87 was no light weight.

How hard are you disappointed to know that 455hp is actually more power output than the F87 top dog (M2 CS aka M2 €$) ?

Great anecdotal data. I know several lifelong AMG people that are willing to wait 5 months for an allocation. Time will tell.

BTW, the new G80 interior is phenomenal, especially for the money. It's not a Bentley but it's pretty nice full leather.

But for sure some people like BMWs new designs. Just the lowly enthusiast that are getting the shaft. But it’s the same with every car company (no more manuals, huge, heavy AWD cars) The G87, even if the design won’t be peak BMW will probably be the last BMW with the old school formula. |
