Fenders are a huge win.

But to me the front fascia looks a lot more dated already.

The colors on the doors are to attract rich high school kids

The "transformation" is that all the leaks were in Zandvoort Blue and these release photos are Toronto Red. It's perfectly valid to say that this car looks a lot better in TR than ZB. Take a look at the few release photos in ZB. IMO, they look far worse than the TR ones.

If all the release photos were in ZB as was originally planned, you would see a far more negative tone in these comments.

@blindside_137, It’s a good question - these look busy to me.

I’m sure the tech is better but not sure about the overall interior design changes.

evo213f10 · 10-11-2022, 07:04 PM

🤦 Still stand by my previous statement......BMW designers went to sleep with the new M2.

0Camus0 · 10-11-2022, 07:05 PM

200 lbs more than the G82 manual....

Give me a break

wtwo3 · 10-11-2022, 07:06 PM

So I'm confused about the weight.... why is this heavier than an M3?

TakeOne · 10-11-2022, 07:06 PM

I'm loving it.
Months and months for the people to "warm up" to the G80/G82… 1 week for the G87

For now, I'll keep my F87 M2 CS thanks.

F87 looks like a toy Barbie car, hate to break it to you. Bubbly, short, soft, safe. I had two and just couldn't live with that vibe.

F85MTuNED · 10-11-2022, 07:07 PM

If this really weighs 3800lbs that's insanity imo.

It’s fair to say that you didn’t like the F87.

On the other hand, it’s bizarre to say the previous model looked like a Barbie car.

I was in denial with my f87's for a while too-I feel your pain.

mfarrzhp · 10-11-2022, 07:10 PM

Looks just like the leaks, but much better quality pictures and Toronto Red is nice.

I'll still need to see it in person, but it's a drastic change. It gives me JDM vibes, which is not necessarily bad.

The seats look great!

I don't have much else to say, except that I won't be getting on the order list.

RAUDERRIPPER · 10-11-2022, 07:10 PM

Gonna need that CS version

I absolutely plan on doing just that. Turned in my M3CS 6 months ago and haven't touched another BMW since then. And BTW I had 5 F80's in 5 years so it's not like I didn't love the brand.

MegaMatt3 · 10-11-2022, 07:13 PM

Still looks fucking terrible. Even a multi-million dollar marketing budget can't help this monstrosity. I genuinely hope heads have rolled.

ROBM2C · 10-11-2022, 07:13 PM

This looks just like the blue leaked one and really not much nicer in red unfortunately. Maybe black ?
