Very symmetrical & almost perfect. Could've moved just a hair to left though to be dead even. Just kidding man.

I tried to make a collage with both my 2012 M3, taken on the day it came home, and my 2023 M2!

Those trees have gotten bigger over the last decade! LOL!

I think E92 M3 owners appreciate this car the most. We bought the same car twice!

Except I went from DCT to Manual

. I've had 3 Audi's inbetween my e92 M3 and the G87 but it still felt very familiar.

Here is something that I also got a kick out of last night. I found my sales contract for the E92, and it turns out that it's cost was almost identical to the M2. That is pretty amazing that BMW was able to get this car to market at this price point! If you adjusted the dollars for time&inflation, we are getting the M2 for about $18K less than that E92. WOW.

Congratulations! Looks absolutely amazing. Nice to see the UK cars arriving for November deliveries. Making me excited to get mine in around 2 weeks time (if everything goes to plan with delivery).

That second photo looks almost like SkyScraper Gray for a moment.

With all due respect I love the E90/92 M3. But how in the world could they both feel super similar... ? One has no torque & needs to be revved close to redline to get it + paired with a DCT. The other is powered by the S58, has no hydraulic steering & has tons more power plus electronc granny aids...

I believe it is, with the frozen finish. The two photos are the new paint options Both frozen.

They drive like a BMW. Numbers on paper don’t mean anything.
You can get an Audi that looks similar to a BMW on paper, it still drives differently.

When I went from my 2011 BMW to my 2023 BMW I felt at home and they drove similarly on the same roads.

You made me look ..... My 2013 e92 M3 was @ $3,000 Aussie Pesos less than the G87

That makes complete sense. I guess I was just thinking if these were driven at WOT on a track, the difference might seem more dramatic. But on the street they probably do feel more similar in many regards. And that's a good thing.

Maybe I'm the only one, but these colors both look terrible on the G87.

Actually digging the blue a lot but my girl does not

shehatezme · 11-07-2023, 11:26 PM

2.5 week ownership. On M Perf HAS port installed height. Ppf done. I thought I wanted to go more low but I love that I am not bottoming out everywhere I go like my other car. I might just add a front lip and spacers and call it a day!

Thunderhill Raceway Willows CA slight rain during session

Workodactyl · 11-08-2023, 07:30 AM

Added an M Performance carbon fiber spoiler this week and can't help but to take photos of it everywhere I go haha.
