Likelihood of G87 xDrive releasing?

G42Blackbird · 12-13-2023, 11:55 PM

Hello all, I’m a relatively new owner of my M240i xDrive which I purchased couple of months back.
I’m wondering what the chances are BMW will release a M2 xDrive in the future?? When buying my car there was an identical spec M2 at my dealer but I went with the xDrive because it’s a must have for me.
I know there’s always the G80/G82 xDrive but I love the body of the M240/M2, so I’m hoping this happens!

Only time will tell. By the time we find out, getting an allocation will be even more fun... !

Maybe and that’s final.

I just did my first little mini drift in this car and I have to say, I’d have no interest in an XDrive version.

This thing’s WAY too fun the way it is.

I’d vote with my wallet if there was an M xdrive with a manual transmission:

Increased performance (especially in inclement weather), fun always with the manual, and the ability to turn off the front wheel drive to have rwd fun when wanted.

I’d take the penalty of more weight and disconnect on front axle due to the drive shafts.

I know it’ll never happen.

You never know though & it just might.

If it’s in my means, I’d buy it no questions asked. (It’d have to be an M2, not a 200k car)
