I get many people are bummed out about the tail lights but reading some of these posts it's almost like people weren't expecting it. Everyone knew exactly what the tail lights on the M240i looks like, was anyone honestly expecting something different?

Very much like it!

I predict that this car will be the ultimate steal for performance drivers all around the world for the coming years! It will be an incredible value proposition that will be unmatched until now, including Porsche GT3 etc.... After this, it will be finished for pure ICE performance cars. This M2 will become "legendary". We should all buy it and enjoy it when we can.

The M240i is already an incredible value proposal, this M2 will be pure dynamite!

Oh look, another "leaked" picture that is intentionally the most unflattering shot to stir up controversy, and thus hype for a new model

On the other hand, the M2 will be much more practical in daily use as the Emira. But for what vehicle dynamics concerns, the combo you suggest could be indeed hard to beat!

All Ms look better with more rubber, more aggressive offset, less fender gap.

Can't wait to see a forum member with good taste properly lowering one with some black BBS wheels.

Nice! A real RWD hero for the purists again! RWD has better vehicle dynamics (weight and 50/50). On the other hand, also a reason to tone down to 450bhp.

Probably an Xdrive could follow a bit later?

Really? Please share. I am yet to see an official statement that G87 will not have AWD for any future iterations

For comparisons sake, similar photo of the first model year m2. This looks light years better. If this improves as much as the original m2 did, then this could possibly become one of the greatest m's ever.

On the other hand, what's wrong with RWD? The M3 competition I drove a year back was perfectly fine with RWD.
