There's always a crude leaked picture that pops up months before the actual reveal. Why? Just to tease us before the proper intro.

That being said, I'm confident this thing will look awesome in person based on how great the 230/M240 look in person.

edit -
This is probably the car Project_F87 saw as well.
100% agree. This is not a good picture and the color doesn't really do justice for the lines of the car also

Is this going to be a repeat of the F87 M2C/S udder issue or is it just the angle of the photo?

Same muffler as the G80/2... it's big but not as bad as the F8x cars.

Thanks. That's a relief. Figured someone at AG had to be listening.

It definitely looks just as noticeable as it does on the M2C.I was hoping that they would hide it with the diffuser.It’s not a good look.

Disagree. Looks much smaller than the F87 Comp/CS muffler canister. The angle of the picture makes it look much larger than it is

Not playing this game again. If I get a G87, I'll be waiting for Comp.
G87 M2 buyers first mod be replacing chrome boot badge with black LOL.
Was one of the first things I did on my 2018 M2 LCI.
Very disappointed Comp won't be coming out for some time.

I mean this leak probably does more justice to the car than the official teaser video that just came out wherein they used a Tesla

The geniuses at BMW Marketing are an interesting bunch

Ha, I did the same with my LCI M2... funny enough, now that the g8x manual cars are the only ones with chrome badges I have no desire to change em out.

Doesn't look good, current 2 series rear end is hideous and doesn't support a wide body look.

BMW does that to make you think it's leaked rather than a calculated release.
