Me too bro! BMW M posted a picture of the M performance car and some dude posted these so I'm assuming he lives or works nearby.

The thickness melts me imo and the tails look really good with the shape of the rear.

Finally they're removing more camo...even though we've known the tail lights were a forgone conclusion. They fit on this body so well. Headlights next!

Loving the wheels. These may be the G87 exclusive wheels.

Exhaust tips look huge too.

I don't like the wheels, but that's OK since it looks like you can get the others that are offered on the M3/4. At least I hope. *fingerscrossed*

Looks like the new wheels will be offered with the same finish options as other M wheels. Black wheels, like on the car in the first pic and bi-colored wheels like on the car in the second pic.

I’m not a fan of those wheels either.It looks like the bi color black is a matt finish which i don’t like.Really hoping that they are the 826M wheels in the images you posted.Lovin the huge exhaust tips in these pics.

Lack of colors kinda makes sense I guess.

If this thing had all the tasty colors + option to get individual, itll make the M4 a much less enticing proposition for anyone NOT looking for xDrive

G87 is basically(from BMW own admission) G82 without the massive grille or xDrive and minus a few HP

atl_1M · 09-01-2022, 06:51 PM

I can't get past those tails, but may have to just suck it up. They just don't look like a bmw. A minor edit like this would look so much better.

It's true.

We want every option the G8x has...but we want the price to stay low. It's not going to happen and we have to lower our expectations.

I think tinting the lower portions of the tails will make a nice difference.

Going to try to see if I can make this a reality.

MmmmmM2 · 09-01-2022, 07:21 PM

I must be in the minority because I actually LOVE the wheels on the second picture.

LivingInSalt · 09-01-2022, 07:51 PM

For me those look like they belong on a Nissan CUV

I’m digging them.

I knew the wheels looked familiar. M850 sitting at my dealer.

Similar indeed….but I prefer the variation we're seeing on the g87!

Ricochet48 · 09-01-2022, 10:44 PM

Those wheels look great!

All this time I thought it was getting bespoke wheels, nope. BMW is neglecting the new M2 all over again.

Wheels are similar but not the same. The pattern is inverse and imo looks slightly more aggressive. The center is also a bit different.

The M2 wheel is literally just a different bi-color pattern of the 825M off the G80/G82. I personally am not a fan. As long as I get the option of bi-color 826M I'm happy

You might be right…it's tough to see the black painted sections clearly but yea that makes a lot of sense.

People,

wheels can easily be replaced and even upgraded.

What we should care about is: handling, horsepower, brakes.

I can understand seats, because we spend a lot time in them.
