Condolences bro
Are you in your 20’s? First performance car?

I have a M2 CS. I would not buy a base M2. Only a CS or CSL version.

I think the F87 will hold just fine. Especially a lowish mileage CS in 10 years time. A well kept M2/3/4 rarely loses value over the long haul if kept in good condition and not crazy high mileage. The E46 is still my favorite design, and if I could find a gem for a decent price, I'd be all over it.

I have to admit, the G87 is not terrible. The rear is the sore spot for me, but my 12 year old son who is a car freak said the rear is the best part.

It's not productive to say the F87 sucks or the G87 is ugly. BMW is evolving for better or worse. The bad is the weight, but from all accounts, they've figured out how to manage the growing waistline.

The seats are killer. I'm not a fan of the big iDrive, but I may get used to it.

The important part is that it's going to be a great drivers car for sub $70K. I would push the younger generation to opt for the manual, because although the auto is faster, it doesn't matter in real life and you'll still get smoked by a Tesla. However, the auto will be easier on a track if you're going to push it hard on track days.

We should all be applauding BMW for offering a RWD, 6MT, 453HP ICE sport coupe in 2023.

As an F82 owner, this is hilarious, and I expect there to be many crank hub questions on the G8x forums. I really like the G87 and have been planning on ordering one, the price seems great, just deciding if this or a used Pcar is the way to go.

Dios mío...this is almost an insult. There is no pretty angle. Can't even look at the technical details because I could not be seen in such a thing.

The one positive here, and this is evident by the comments in this thread, is that the G87 has alot of younger buyers.

If it brings young people into the M brand, then who am I to criticize.

It looks great. I'm glad reserved judgment with the leaks. What a pleasant surprise!

The wheel arches remind me of the E30 M3.

S58 fixed the CHS issue. It's a solid piece now.

Seems doubtful based on the M3/4 not receiving a manual in the competition trim. BMW's reasoning has been the torque whether that is real or not, who knows, but doesn't seem comps will have a manual moving forward.

Any MT g80s out there having issues with a tune?

What's the weak link? Synchro's, gears or clutches?

Kinda nailed the side profile, I like it! Taillights remain overdone and fussy, wish they had dialed back the rectangular inlets up front maybe 30% to integrate better with the rest of the shape. It wears red well, has that e30 M3 vibe about it. Not as awful as I though it would be.

It's a big bummer why they couldn't just reuse the F87 fenders, since they are clearly keen to clear the stock of the last gen parts (like the bonnet).
