I'm guessing the G87 will be slower than the M2CS - primarily because of weight and differences in tires. I've read that good tires can cut 1 second off a one minute lap. With the M2CS at 7:42, I think it's reasonable for the G87 to be in the 7:50 range

I want to see this in person. I loved the 1M and everyone who's seen it in the flesh says lots of 1M vibes...

I don't hate it, but the size and weight increases make you think twice about getting a G87 over a G80. The F87 was still short enough to look really compact. This car is getting longer and the weight is nearly the exact same as G80. It needs to have improved driving dynamics or it's not a good value proposition.

You're right, BMW only reserves double wishbone suspension for the 5 Series and above (i.e: cost cutting) plus some of their racing/track cars like the M4 DTM. All other BMWs uses a MacPherson front strut and multilink rear, including the G80/82 and obviously the G87. Notice the difference - M4, M4 DTM, and M8: . |

7:42 was not the official M2 CS time by BMW factory driver. The F87 platform is capable to making 7:00 the btg Nur with few mods , but BMW hold it back for several reasons .

The whole point of the M2 series was supposed to be lightweight fun-to-drive 2 door sports car.

That's where your wrong, the whole point was to sell a cheaper M car (BMW never claimed it should or would be more lightweight)

Why wouldn't I buy a G82 M4 comp with xdrive instead? Because I'm not as baller as many here and am not spending 20+ grand more on a car.

While the looks of the G87 are definitely polarizing, and I am not a fan of the rear (based upon pictures), I can at least acknowledge what they were trying to do. I really think the front end would look better with the quad headlights - if they had gone that direction, I might have been able to overlook the busyness of the rear.

Agree. Same thought process as well. I guess the M2 is another GT car? 3,800lbs then add a driver you’re close to 2 tons. Driving a 3,400lb on track is painful already due to weight transfer during braking and turning. Imagine doing it with a 4,000 lb car with you in it. It be interesting if bmw comes out with a rear wheel drive m240i manual….probably not? |

The new pretty photos and videos can't hide the messy design, especially the bulky and oddly angular rear. Looks better than the leaked photos, of course, but it's a step backward design-wise, and that dash is awful.
Still, it's an M2, so it's cool by default. I'd love to see photos of it without the optional carbon roof. I can't stand that two-tone look. I bet a body-matching roof would look a lot better. |

Finally, a car smaller and heavier than my V8 Camaro.
