The latest photos look like a F82 M4.

It is supposedly better for cornering/handling. On the downside it ensures that you cant rotate tires front back, hence more uneven tire replacements. Granted, staggered widths do the same for rotations

I would assume floating caliper like the G80. Especially if this has an electric parking brake (which most interior spy shots have shown).

I daily'd a RWD CLS63 through an entire Boston winter with no snow tires.

Do I get bonus points?

Maybe a Darwin Award?

Looking good! I think there is high hopes for the G87. Still retains that aggressive small coupe appearance.

If they have the carbon buckets in them as well, it will be a worthy upgrade for F87 owners in a few years

jdub486 · 03-10-2021, 08:14 PM

Nice aggressive front fender flare! I'm beginning to really think the lack of DCT is a deal breaker after review some of the new m3/ m4 reviews. Many referenced less responsive shifts from the ZF 8 speed.

RyanBMW · 03-10-2021, 08:18 PM

Cheap floating rear calipers & Increased in size, why why why???

JTO24 · 03-10-2021, 08:46 PM

Give it the manual, cf buckets, cf roof and make IOMG available as a color and I might be getting another M2.. if it doesn't gain 300 lbs in the process

Adding all that crap will also add $20k+ to the price.

Give me a base m2 with a stick at the same price as F87...leave the nonsense paraphernalia and gimmicks for the M4.

Do agree with the IOMG.

Habber · 03-10-2021, 09:47 PM

Enough of this carbon carbon everywhere. I get the weight savings but I'm not going to benefit from it using as a DD.

It looks like crap and reminds me of my grandfathers' "carbon pants" he seems to have worn in all those old pictures he had in the dining room.

Most likely similar set up as G8x to save cost, no DCT and with fake side grille.

As opposed to the real side grille the current M2 has...

No issues at all.

Buy better car seats!

Wow! Good to know! How about with two kids? I have two little ones, one in a rear facing and one front facing.

Have a one year old, rear facing is tough, but it works!

Don't think so BMW is trying to save cost and you don't see it on the G8x series.

I remember when it was called an emergency brake and it was there to save your life

They have a real chance to stagger the prices of the base vs. competition with this series, and cater to more than one group of buyer. Kind of following the format they are doing with the new M3M4, but manual option in all configurations.
Bring the base in at 415hp or so with limited options, and maybe almost a stripped down "raw" version. I am thinking $60k for the low end starter price.
Then bring in the Comp with 435hp (I think you need to keep this number under the current CS to keep things in line). Offer HUD, those new sweet seats and individual paint with the Comp and a lot of the 3/4 buyers would line up for it. I think even if it was pushing low end M3 territory on price. So, maybe $80k for an individual colored absolutely loaded comp. But also have the Comp available with manual and similar limited options that are offered now.
With no "new" grill, I think they could really grow sales for this model with a format like this.

ried · 03-10-2021, 11:54 PM

Aside from the S58, I honestly can't see how this improves on the F87.

I could be wrong, but at this point the G87 seems to take one step forward and two steps back.

Just look at the elegance of that simple but so complex multifaceted Hofmeister kink. What a beauty!

Hello? BMW? Anybody there?

Agreed ‼️

Looking really good. The proportions and silhouette look like it's a proper BMW. The size looks right too, always thought the F87 was a little too stubby at the rear end.
