I got a smaller version with my F36 but I’ve not seen G42 versions. I think you can get M2 ones easy enough.

I have a GT Spirit F22 M235i(240i) - they might do a G42 in the future?

Strange they're labelling these as G42 when they're clearly F87's?

I've been kind of surprised at the lack of availability as I thought finding one for my old E84 X1 had been a unicorn find. Although it wasn't 1/18 (more like ~1/30).

Although I guess when you count international sales it was probably more popular than the 2er.

On that note, makes me realize I may have seen a total of five G42s in the wild since 2022

Brooklyn Grey is quite common, but I have never seen a Tacora Red interior. I have the Cognac interior, and I've seen that color on a single other 2er which was the one next to mine at the dealer. All the other ones I've seen were black inside.
