78k?? Wth are you planning to option it with. I don't see how it could get that high unless it includes individual paint which likely won't be available for a while

Executive package, exterior carbon package. Adaptive, LED lighting.. Carbon bucket seats.. Pretty much every option on the list and I'm ordering mine with the 1000 M wheels..

Is it possible to order 1000M from the factory and get credit for stock wheels? Or is it dealt with separately

The dealer can order them for you. But no cash back for stock wheels.

Hey, is that Zan blue, or gray? It's hard to tell.

ZB as others have indicated. All the previous leaked images are grossly over-saturated.

Absolutely

Some much so it almost looks like a washed out AW

The G42 looks great and I can't recall any M car looking worse than the base car. If the M2 looks like the spy pics, it would be the first time the base car is the better looking car. Until the official release, I'm still holding out hope.

Does anyone know if the rear tail lights will be blacked out like the leaked picture for the US market also? Or just European market? Typically the blacked out is reserved for Euro but not sure about this model

Wouldn't be the first time, already happened with the G20 and G80.

Same spec I want, but I'm getting it in April. Non comp of course since I'm first time n the list at my dealer.

I hope we'll have more choices of colours inside and out this time around. Thundernight and Oyster for me.

Dropped my G80 as soon as I saw it in flesh and bought the G20 instead.

BMW wants you to buy the optional M Performance Parts.

In fact, BMW wants you to buy all the goodies you want but don't get as standard features. Pulled straight out of the Porsche 101 Marketing book - "Deconting - Upselling" chapter. But hey, the car press usually mentions the "only [AMOUNT] base price". No money, no honey.

Why would you say that? Now F87 owners cant comment "F87 is better", " I'll keep my F87", "F87 values going up".
It is hard for F87 owner to accept that new m2 is here.

Not hard to accept that a new M2 is coming. Just doesn’t mean that some don’t like the new design. Same was said with the new M3/M4 with the buck teeth. The F series M owners didn’t like the design.

So the decision will come down to function or form. I am betting that the G87 will out perform any F87.

Putting that S58 in the new M2 right from the jump is sick strategy. No half step.

Well considering her half baked looks, and the stark resemblance to my home office, I am glad there's a silver lining

ronin13013 · 10-04-2022, 06:26 PM

I like it. The fit an s58 in an M2. Epic lol! Aggressive.

The B58 and S58 are not that much different in size or am I wrong ?

ronin13013 · 10-04-2022, 06:41 PM

The S58 is a modified B58. They are the same size.

Only one problem, it's a BMW, not a Porsche.
