Is this optional on the future M2 ?

But that's not a dashboard. And no. The large curved screen will come in all future BMWs for the foreseeable future.

So you prefer two large flat tablets to one large curved one?

A large curved screen in the M2 would definitely be a show stopper if it becomes standard … and I actually don’t care about the other BMW models …

It's not going to become standard...it already is standard from day 1 of the G87

Any chance new idrive layout will be available by LCI? I think it only took 3 years to phase out the idrive 7.

I'm not so sure this time around.

Are you saying that the G87 would not be suitable for a family of four? Myself and my wife have two young children, 5 & 9 years old and hoping the keep the car for around 8 years.

Yeah no way man, you need an m3

For older kids/teenagers you may have to get M3. My plan is to get a second car for kids. I went from M2 to 3, and now will be going back to 2.

Same, my M4 feels like a boat..

I want that sweet sweet short wheel base with the s58 and 6 on a stick

Hey all, I've just come across these. I also read that the M2 is being unveiled soon. Thoughts?

Let's hope it's not really like that, the rear bumper is horrible

somberlaine · 09-24-2022, 10:40 AM

Just saw the same pics on Reddit. I sure hope that back is just missing parts.

That just may be it, from the spy shot seen months earlier

Looks like it, and at that time everyone thought that this looked pretty damn good. I think the pictures uploaded this AM are just a bad angle, because from that angle, this thing looks pretty decent
