Wow, so nice. Those pics are enough/exactly what I wanted to see. Much appreciated!

The few G87 in town are not SG, but the car's side profile (doesn't look like Mustang ala G82X) and meaty rear end are always enough to make my head spin like other drivers and pedestrians do for my G82. FWIW, I love my G82's front end especially in SG. It was the 87's front end that was my hesitation (in the few colors around town). Your front end looks less "Dodge-ish" and in my opinion your lowered/wheel selection is *chef's kiss

Unrelated note: coming from a 240ix I miss the size. Oddly enough my other option is the LC500 (2 inches wider/2 inches shorter than G82 and drives muuuuch bigger).

Unrelated note: coming from a 240ix I miss the size. I know the 87 is similar size to my 82, but reports of "drives smaller" has me reconsidering. Oddly enough my other option is the LC500 (2 inches wider/2 inches shorter than G82 and drives much bigger).

Thanks! Yea, there is a heck of a lot to like about the G87. I plan to lower the front a bit more and finish installing the rest of the zunsport lower grills. Also ordered the MAD skid plate and some isweep1500 low dust pads.

The Adro grille for this car, imo, fixes the odd frameless grille design that has dodge vibes. I think it’s the number one cosmetic change you can make to the G87 for biggest improvement in appearance.

I go back and forth on the ADRO grille. Some days I think it's what the G87 needs, other days I love the G87 stock and think the ADRO is the ugliest thing you could do to the G87.

Never seen this one before, quite like it. I just can’t with the ARDO.

Ohhhh I like that. Just not the “TRE” logo on it… but might be able to get over that. Are these simple to install?

I really like Vorsteiner kit, all pieces except the hood.
Add in Autotecknic's grill, side vents and center vent. Wheels and done

[fanofbmwe46]

Love how different the car looks depending on lighting!

You have to remove the front fascia (bumper cover), which isn't hard to do at all.

Congratulations on your stunning G87! BMW of Toledo is my local dealer whom I intend to order a custom G87 xdrive from sometime in the future. How was your experience with them overall? I bought my G42 xdrive from them earlier this year, and the experience has been pretty good so far – but the G42 was not a custom order.

The M3 always felt a little too big for me vs what I wanted out of a fun weekend only car hence the trade in. They gave me $6K less than I paid for the M3 18months later so depreciation wasn’t too bad and the taxes were pretty much a wash because the M2 was only slightly more than the trade value. So only a few grand total out of pocket to get into a new car that’s more what I was desiring in the first place.

Similar reason as to why I gave up my 2022 M4 and eventually picked up a 2023 M2 that I found online. Worthy replacement for a weekend/2nd car especially when it has the same motor, brakes, suspension and many internals that the M4 had but in a better and smaller package for the car. The M4 was a great motor and power but it did feel bigger than my previous e46 M3, e92 M3, and F80 M3 and F82 M4 so I too decided that the G87 fit the bill. So far 4 mos into my pre owned/new to me G87 I am very much pleased and enjoying the car. Especially the aesthetics vs the G82 M4...which never grew on me but always looked off....Enjoy and let us know how it goes...
