New G87 M2 photos emerge before official release

ScullyD · 10-10-2022, 08:30 AM

Any of the "these leaks are fake" truthers still out there?

Jimc · 10-10-2022, 08:30 AM

One more day closer to being able to order one...sweet

Call me crazy but I dig the rear end, I think the quad pipes and angular corner fenders look sick.

It looks like two eyes (headlights), chubby cheeks (weird fat protrusions), smile line where the trunk ends and teeth (exhaust). I can’t unsee it.

On a serious note, did they really make the front parking sensors just a giant black plastic board that protrudes past the front bumper?

Think you're referring to the license plate holder? Curious where are the front parking sensors though, especially the ones for the corners.

Exactly what I thought, with darker colour should look way better than this Zandvoort blue .

Agreed. I've always thought M's look great in matte colors too. Nardo grey would look really nice on this car as well.

veenut28 · 10-10-2022, 08:31 AM

The more pictures I see, I agree with the consensus that the Non-metallic pastel blue is not particularly flattering. I don't think the design is an unqualified success like the F87 but I think it will be accepted more quickly than the other G8x models.

Horrendous!

I just joined the forum because this is the first BMW I'm buying new and I'm excited about it. Everyone has to start somewhere lol.

PS - you'd think the people taking these photos would take one or 2 decent ones. Why not capture the whole car?

Because most of this forum is 50 year old dudes with iPhone 5S’s that have no clue how to take a basic picture.

The 50 year olds HAVE the money for the iPhone 14 your broke ass has a flip!!! 😜

The dumpster fire of a car continues the lineage of BMW's failed design team. BMW's powertrain department is killing it and you match that with this? Horrible…G8X will go down in history as being the worst looking M's.

techniggo · 10-10-2022, 08:35 AM

Cant see this ugly colour anymore. So i made it white
In White it looks pretty good to me.

Looks like a m240i judging by the side black panel

Damn, that looks good. Any chance you could try your hand at the Toronto Red?

PackPride85 · 10-10-2022, 08:40 AM

I like how there are so many comments on "another bad angle from the back". My dudes, I think we've seen almost all the angles at this point which is not a good sign if they're all bad lol.

I can not get it right. ZB is such a ugly colour to edit on its insane.

That rear end needs to be fixed. I'm usually very accepting when it comes to facelifts and new body styles. I honestly love the new split headlight design….but this…. I couldn't drive.

Turkish Pickle · 10-10-2022, 08:46 AM

you'd hope the person leaking all these images is getting paid enough to be risking their job like this

yet the photos look like they come straight from a 2008 iphone
