Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my F87. Love it to pieces...

That being said, I'd love a more comfortable ride. It's probably why, for the most part, the M2C is reserved for my commute to work and back. A whopping round trip of about 6 miles. Add in 4 more when I go get lunch, and that's 10 miles of driving a day. I drive the wife's CX-5 on the weekends as it is much more comfortable.

Realistically, it's going to be some time before I get a new car.

Enjoy your G87s, gents! I'm a bit jealous!

Better to wait anyway, I'm doing the same.

Known future G87 models...

You got a point there, bud!

São Paulo yellow to replace Toronto Red? I’m considering this…

Because it doesn’t have the twin coffin kidney grills…

This video is awesome and Chris Harris as always delivers.

He literally started and finished by addressing every point that I thought was an immense fail on the F87 and why i sold my car... namely the new G87 appears FAR more composed, less bouncy and snappy... in other words a far better car in all conditions.

I think Bmw has a winner here.

[TargaM2]

Nice review as always. The UK journos are pretty much always spot on.
Its those from the US that have zero idea & talk absolute shite.

His point about the M3 as predecessor made me think about the dimensions of the e92 - very similar, and actually the G87 is a few inches wider in track width and car width.

And the playfulness of the f87 was apparently part of its charm. If you want that playfulness, the Z4M40 can play the part - just no manual transmission, yet…and it comes with adaptive dampers.

Funny
I liked the G80 - and was amused because he did not .

Some of you guys are absolutely unhinged. Need to log off and go get some fresh air.

The key question for buyers: do you want a car that objectively performs better, or one that is more subjectively fun/ appealing? Each person has to decide… one thing is for sure, as he pointed out, BMW plays mental gymnastics on us and has for decades.

This car is really really good, and it’s super hard to ignore the logical progression.

It’s not perfect, but it’s definitely a better road car.

It’s the internet Susan. It gets lively.

Not everyone who understands the m2s engineering and dynamics digs the m2. The most damning video review comment I’ve seen is geese saying when he had the car for a few days he had zero interest in taking it out for a spin.

Has Chris sold his green M2 CS and put an order for this?

Comparing a guy who is sponsored by lexus and who plugged cars like the Lexus LC500 as well as Kia SUVs to someone who's hosted numerous motoring shows, owned exotic cars, a ton of m cars and is an amateur race car driver is absolutely wild lol.

He did mutilate his own M2CS with rock hard suspension though. Hence the comment on beating him up when he drove it. Stock suspension on the CS fixed the occasional problem on the C where you could get bounced off line and is quite a bit more comfortable too.

G8x is designed to be a much better daily driver than F models and it truly is. It does lose something on the fun aspect but way less people care about this nowadays.

However, I don’t have a commute so I just get to enjoy the feels without the downsides. If I did have a commute and only one car it might be a very different story. That’s where the G87 excels.

A F87cs was significantly more expensive then a G87 when I ordered my car, and there was no hope of finding one local to me. Otherwise with the adaptive suspension I definitely would have considered. But if I have to spend 100k for a used CS vs 70k for a brand new car with warranty? For me (who also likes the design) it was a no brainier.

[DailyDownshift]

I love the shot he took at people talking smack about the g87 haha

He also posted a IG story about a month ago where he said he liked the G87 so much he wanted to buy it from BMW but they would only sell it to him at full MSRP even though it was a used press car so he passed. Don’t be surprised if he gets it or M2 CS next year.

Problem is they are not that good and offer very little in terms of useful or accurate information in many cases. Do not watch they dont get paid. They offer nothing you cant sort for yourself. They test yet dont own what others will buy. That limited view is joke in most all cases.

[AndreM2]

Chris says It is more a daily M car.

I think the F87 is more playable and nimble. As a daily car i think the new one is better. But as a trackday car you could better choose something lighter.
