Looks pretty good from most angles! I wasn't the biggest fan of the tail light design at first but I'm warming up. That front-end though!!

Fair to say this car has grown on the majority.

Can't wait to drive one!

It looks pretty good, except the rear.
Finally, 245 width tire in the front and 255 in the rear! It's about time they put decent width tires on the M-Lite.

I really can't wait for the G87 M2, this looks promising so far.

maybe it's just me, but i am not a fan at all. it looks cheap to me, the flares are the only redeemable feature. the back is terrible, those taillights look like something you would buy at pepboys and the front does nothing for me. i hope they do something better with the next G 87 M2.

Not a fan of the tail lights it's not a bmw design cue. I don't like the direction they going with the headlights design beginning with the 5 series to 2 series it's like they moving further away from the halos. I also also do a night package on that get rid of the chrome/grey and option it with black rims

I like it but the proportions with respect to the lights seems odd and off. Also I wonder if the G87 will get the DTC? And the CS version will be made in Germany?

IMHO, considering that every new car that BMW presented in the past few years is a disaster, I mean the new 1-series, the 2GC, M3, M4, I<everything> are just horrendous, this car is gorgeous.

And, always IMHO of course, it's a nice care by its own even when not compared with the POS above.

Sadly, my current 2015 M235 will not be replaced by the new 2-Series. I cannot get over the dreadful front and rear lights and fascia design. I will drive mine until it falls apart and then we'll see if BMW is still designing Japanese cars…

It seems most late 'e' model admirers/owners like the look of the g42 while most 'f' model admirers/owners don't.

Admittedly, that's probably a generalization from a small sample size.

gotta say, she's really grown on me in a short time. I've seen too many people rip the design, but I think it's fresh and modern - and I'm 48 years old. on top of that, it has more power and torque than the outgoing M2, which is kinda ridiculous if you ask me. gonna have a hard time hanging onto my 440GC once I start seeing these on the road I think. the Brooklyn Grey looks dynamite on the configurator.
