Official Ideal Spec Thread
Let's discuss your ideal spec in this thread. I remember starting one for the F87 and was blasted because I wanted a Gentlemen Racer spec. That would be British Racing Green, gold wheels, brown interior, 6 speed manual. Something akin to the 911R, which evolved into the GT3 Touring.
I would love that combo in the G87. But with Houndstooth carbon buckets and full leather in Cohiba. Since this will be a daily, it will be classy, funky, not too out there, and most importantly fun to drive. Or on the flip side, give me a GTS spec lol. Let's hear them...

Lose ~300lbs
Lose iD8 4 pot fixed calipers in the rear M sport seats standard CF roof standard Double beam headlights instead of the single beams Wider taillights Smaller rear bumper reflectors M sport quad exhaust, not that stacked bs Trunk full of Mexican coke... you know, the kind that's made with real sugar instead of corn syrup. Sorry, got carried away and made a wish list instead. |

I love this forum...great thread ideas!! Also, OP, the British Racing Green spec would have been fire!
As for me (just taking guesses on options)... Individual Paint - Riviera Blue Silver color wheels with non run flat tires Silverstone or Ivory White Carbon bucket seats Carbon Fiber interior Shadowline trim Laserlights edit: carbon roof I guess that is it..

I just want a color..IE not black, white or gray and a CF roof. Rest is gravy.
Not sure what trans, that's frankly the toughest decision for me. I'm on 3 lists so i guess i can order 2 or 3 and see which one i like. |

Ughh i just got my F87 comp earlier this year but this is making me lust for the G87 even more. Wish they could've offered more colors and interior options for the F.

The F87 Comp is an amazing vehicle. It may go down as the BMW to have. It is lighter than the G87, has more interior space, much better brakes, a real hand brake, and looks amazing both inside and out. I have a feeling it will be a 993 Porsche type situation where people will lust after the car for years to come. So don't worry about it, you have a winner on your hands. The G87 has a lot to live up to. I mean, the 996 was technically better than the 993 but look at what happened to their values...

So I know we have touched on this in one form or another on other threads but what is everyone's guess on price with every box checked? From what I understand from other posts to even get Carbon Bucket seats posters have speculated that you would have to get full merino (spelling) leather which then makes carbon buckets possibly a $6 to $7k upgrade (please correct me if I am wrong).
Is it possible the G87 get to $80k with all options? |

xDrive and 4 pot rear calipers. Even my Camaro has 4 pots in the back, emergency braking can be scary on the highway, and the balance makes a massive difference in the control.

- Marina bay or portimao blue exterior
- Cognac, silverstone or tartufo merino - Carbon roof - 18/19 black wheels (I know there will be no 18/19 option on the G87 from the factory) - Full shadowline treatment - Blue M calipers - Ventilated seats and heated steering wheel without having to add HUD (not a fan of HUD or gesture control for that matter) - 360 camera with backup assist (aka park assistance package)
