G87 M2 rendering with leaked front bumper

Sahbatage · 07-11-2021, 02:36 PM

I agree, very Nissan Z but I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it has potential and I like the boxy look, much better than the beaver teeth grills anyway. Why didn't you add any mesh to the bumper inlets? The bumper still looks a bit unfinished.

Try putting the G80 grills on it. Pan from headlight to headlight without gaps.

No thank you!

Encanto · 07-11-2021, 03:05 PM

The only thing missing is the JC Whitney part number.

Based on the leaked bumper, the bumper scoops are too sharply beveled in the render. Who can do one with more gradual bevels?

We go from triangles to squares?

That leaked front bumper has got to be an incomplete design.

I normally would agree with this (in fact I had the same thought) but BMW aren't playing by any conventional rules anymore

I dig it. A lot of potential here for this car to perform and look better than the F87.

Highly unlikely it will look better then the F87

Nothing special

mattssi · 07-11-2021, 03:53 PM

Better than the M3? not even close with that subaru rally shape.

Looks are subjective, but I disagree. The F87 had some odd angles in my opinion.

ghaffari46 · 07-11-2021, 04:13 PM

Looks awesome
I hope it handles as well as it looks.

Fronttwelv · 07-11-2021, 04:22 PM

I guess if it was this or g82, this all day. Buuuut it still isn't a good looking as the f87!

abc · 07-11-2021, 04:22 PM

Totally makes sense the kidney grills will be frameless.... like the m4. making them look more like intakes, which given the large sizes of the kidney grills i welcome frameless look as it does not accentuate the outline of the kidney grills, blacking them out does not help in my eyes as i want the entire lip edge affect gone, so the sheet metal edge is all thats there to form the intakes.

SW19 · 07-11-2021, 04:42 PM

I sure hope it doesn’t look like this render.Very boring looking deisign.Absolutely nothing to get excited about.It doesn’t even have the powerdome.

THEROK · 07-11-2021, 04:58 PM

Looks dope. Much better than the f87 which always had odd proportions with a weak rear just like the e92. Looking forward!

tonymac1 · 07-11-2021, 05:01 PM

Looks ok, at least it's better than G80/82….

The F87 has classic design elements

You might not appreciate them

But this is not special

Not even slightly

Jimjamz · 07-11-2021, 05:02 PM

Great rendering effort. If it's true though I don't like the design.

On a good news front, your render post made my News Feed 👍🏽
