2023 G87 M2 Spy Pics/Videos: Competition (or Special Edition) Model Spotted

Game · 03-23-2022, 01:55 PM

Don't know if it means anything, but that G87 tail light turn signal is definitely different than the G42. It's not the fact that it's orange, but that it's just a small square that blinks...the G42 has a full red bar that mirrors the light bar.

Also looks like this car has more rear bumper camo than the previous findings.

The horizontal slats look very odd on a grill that isn't massive. Wish these new grills weren't active, as I'm sure that makes it much more costly for aftermarket companies to give us alternative solutions.

Curious, how do you know they're active? I haven't read anything about them being active grills

Hmm, I just assumed that all normal sized grills would be since they are on all other models including the M240i. But you may be right, b/c it doesnt seem like the G80 is active, so either its not required or the active function is separate from the grill..

Yeah we shall see, but i'd bet they follow suit with the G80/82 and leave them open for airflow to the needy S58 haha

You're right!! Good eye

atl_1M · 03-23-2022, 03:05 PM

This is my awful attempt at using microsoft paint to see what vertical grills would look like. Safe to say, this is definitely going to be my first mod!

Don't mind the horizontal grilles, if anything they just make the car look lower and wider which is kick f'n ass with me.

First good overall look at the G87 M2 with M Performance Parts!

jim1013yyf · 03-23-2022, 03:56 PM

looks more STI than the STI.

psylovibe · 03-23-2022, 04:00 PM

Looks good. I hope the g8x platform gets a similar wing.

Project_F87 · 03-23-2022, 04:05 PM

jeeeesus this car is going to be WIDE. Way more clear now with some of these up close shots

mikezmoney · 03-23-2022, 04:07 PM

Everyone hated on the new design of the M3/M4 but they're still selling like crazy.

This new M2 will be no different.

Personally I love it. Great job BMW. Constantly innovating.

MPSdriver · 03-23-2022, 04:10 PM

Mk4 styled rear wing... very vintage

Not only wide but finally an m2 with the right proportions length wise. This really is the new m4. The one to buy.

Yeah that slightly longer wheel base is going to make for so much better stability on fast sweepers. One of my main gripes with my F87s, OG and Comp alike

zipstic · 03-23-2022, 04:17 PM

Glad they took the time to wrap the wing in camo so no one knows what it is....

Local vapestain Wrx owner wants his rear wing back
