I'm just not feeling the busy front end with triangles, and the taillights that are too low and outward like someone with eye too far apart lol. |

I had to talk myself into liking my m2c not going to lie. I was more interested in the performance/experience it offered tbh. I buy cars for being capable rather than beautiful. If it was the other way around I'd be an AMG guy without a doubt. |

I think everyone's focused on the wrong stuff.
* How much weight can be saved going RWD instead of AWD, with 6MT instead of auto * How's the e-diff going to behave * What's the steering feel * What's the biggest tire that can actually fit up front * Squishy subframe bushings or not And yeah, maybe someone will make new front or rear bumpers that can be painted and bolted on, without them going some hideous direction on their own. But it's not really what's important... |

I am not sold on the looks, but the new M2 version may still turn out to be my next car. The reason is that I am at an age where you buy more with your mind than your heart. As long as any car offers good value, great performance, is compact, yet practical with good all-around visibility, it goes to the top of my list. Also a manual transmission is a must for me, and no front-drive cars qualify, because of their inherently inferior driving dynamics. Unfortunately my criteria leave me with only 2 meaningful choices: the upcoming Nissan Z or M2. The overly stylized looks of the new 2 are not enough of a deterrent, and I hope I will like the car better in M2 guise.

Agreed WW ^^^^
I’ll reserve final judgement and my potential next purchase post M2 next gen release and the eventual release of the nismo 240z. Could also be a few low mileage M2 CS’s in the mkt at that point. And my gosh, so hard to be all things to all people…wut a fickle & spoiled species we are. Be well. Buy and drive wut u like- the rest is just noise and mktg. B. |

It's sad when 90% of BMWs line up has to be bought in black to minimize the design team's placement of random cuts and bends in the sheet metal. Domagoj Dukec should be taken out back and shot in the head. |

But your comment about Domagoj Đukec to "be taken out back and shot in the head" is totally unacceptable. Feel free to agree or disagree with his work, but, as each of us, Đukec is a human being entitled to unconditional respect. Although I am no moderator of this Bimmerpost section, I will stand firm on this stony ground to protect also Đukec against your kind of hate speech over here, just the way that I will also do for you if someone would utter something similar about you or anyone else over here. Đukec did not commit any crime whatsoever. The team spearheaded by him just did its job the way they deemed appropriate for some recent BMW cars, without breaking any law. No-one obliges you to like or dislike their designs, and free speech will allow you to express your views about it. But free speech ain't unlimited. Likely backpedaling afterwards that your statement was 'of course just a way of saying' or the like, will not make your statement any less abhorrent and disgraceful. Shame on you.

To me the G42 is the better looking car, the front is much more aggressive without being overstyled, it also has much wider fenders which does the car wonders making it almost look like an M car. The rear falls in the same category as the F22, not terrible looking, but certainly not the prefered angle of the car. The G42 design is more successful than the boring F22. The G87 with quad exhaust pipes and redesigned rear bumper is going to improve the rear end massively. That coupled with an even more aggressive front end and hopefully wider fenders will make it look stunning. |

Hate to break it to you but the G42 looks 100 times better than your car. The RS6 looks like something out of the 80s and that my grandma would drive. Basically the modern day Chevy chase car from national lampoons vacation. You aren’t turning any heads in that thing , that is for sure so it’s probably a compliment that you think the G42 is trash.
