The end of that first vid gives a hint…it's MT. In the second vid, the TR G80 and Frankenstein90 appear and are related to the G87 of interest.

Maybe birthday related?

+1
Can't complain about the M40 (B58), such an awesome engine.

In fact I had hoped the first version of the G87 M2 would have a tuned up version of the B58 (as did the N55 OG M2) but it was not to be

That's something else entirely.

[COLOR="Green"].. I agree, the " no manual competition " is a business means of transitioning to the end of MT incrementally year by year.[/COLOR]

And the g8x nob doesn't light up lol 😂

License plate reads 'THE M2" and the badge looks to be the M2 Competition badge, unless the word underneath isn't "competition"... very interesting indeed.

Design sketch, not a photo of the physical car.

Love how they are going a different direction - away from swooping, curvy lines to blocky and aggressive. Can't wait to see it!

The 2002 Hommage was really cool, but those off the shelf i3 taillights were absurd.

Dang I can't wait.

The way the bottom of the rear bumper sticks out - around the exhaust - on this and the recently released 2 series... is that a design thing or part of a new crash standard? I know the new cars don't have to look identical to the old cars, but I don't find it very BMW-like.

Karmic Man · 10-05-2021, 08:10 PM

Photos of this camouflaged G87 have been circulating for months

People need something new to be excited again….pull off some of the camouflage or give us more on the specs
