Call me old but I don't understand where BMW is going with its designs as of late.
Designers were working from home and only had an Etch A Sketch.
Funny as it may be, it is a fact of life

Don't know if this has been asked already but anyone know why didn't they include the same bigger grilles like on the G8Xs?

Same for me. Loved it from the moment I saw it on the concept 4 series.
For years I was dreaming of BMW going back to the vertical grill. The horizontal layout had become stale and predictable.

BTW, I'm absolutely in love with your M4. That color is spot on

The color is so insanely dynamic. You can't help but to stare at it. The M2 would benefit from this color. Walk around to the back side of the car and it's a different color. So crazy.

I dunno. BMW seems to be all over the place with their grill design. I kind of liked it "back in the day" when all of the models shared the same grill.

I'm honestly confused as to why they enlarged the grills on pretty much every model except this one? It must have been a deliberate departure from that design aesthetic? Fuck could be from the all the negative opinions form the G8X release?

And the rear tails are comically small.

Why is this zippy? The F87 CS DCT had a 3.8 0-60 and was revealed three years ago. The G87 M2 is slow and weighs a lot.

I like the boxy fascia just wish there was "less" of it. It's too much. And that vent chunk reflector thing might be the biggest crime their designers have ever committed

Not as ugly as the m2. And then catch me if you can.

I wanted to dislike it so I could bitch on the internet.

But I guess take my money, BMW. So annoying.

Imagine having to trade that beautiful digital dash for those two EV screens? And I own an iX. Couldn't imagine that dash in a sports car.

Only one lusting after this M2 are people who can't afford the Porsche they want or someone in their 20s and this is their first performance car.

I think this is a fair comment.

Same thing with the G80 grills. If they were ~25% smaller, it would have been proportional and looked a lot better.

Definitely want to see this thing in person, but it might have benefited with a similar % less on the boxy front.
