Toronto Red G87 M2 with M Performance parts & gold wheels (without ridiculous wrap)

Schn3ll · 11-15-2022, 11:30 AM

Wheels and carbon ducts only.

BMW, burn everything else - and fire the design team while you're at it.

I would love to see what demographic they think they are going after with this stuff? Maybe it would have worked in early 2000's Fast and Furious movie era, but for a $70k car, these pricey accessories are going to be out of budget for most of the younger generation. So what kind of adults are looking to buy this stuff? As someone who develops consumer goods myself, I would love to know, it boggles my mind.

I hope the metrics BMW gets from total failure and lack of sales of this stuff doesn't fall on deaf ears and they make some serious changes.

Nailed it! The front and wheels are decent but the rest looks ghetto as hell.

A few thoughts. First off, the black accents I think help make the car stand out some. The M3/M4 have some side vents with the logo and a few other details that make it stand out from the basic 3 series/4 series. I feel as it they are waiting to add the comp details later for more "flair" as to say. The M240i has the bottom side skirts and rear diffuser in black and its unusual but this one with a solid color with no carbon roof looks bland to me.

I actually liked that this set off the car and one less part to buy. The car does need a plain lip kit not the crazy WRX mess that’s on there now. I think the wheels are perfect on the red but not for $7000. The front and rear bumbler inserts are good but that’s it. Keep everything else and I’ll wait for an aftermarket solution.

I feel they’re directing this stuff to an age group that is not going to have this car in their sights because of the price. 70-90k is a lot of money for a car.

If this car was a woman, she would be working the street corners during the evening.

Died with the last of the hooydonk design era. A thoughtful designer who aimed for a timeless profile. Minimalism and driver focused with functional design. The new designer, a younger guy with attitude, can barely answer questions about why he put things where he did. He emphasised product design over functional design. It's the end of an era.

What is this? Is this seriously what it's going to look like? If you have to make a car grow on you then I think it's not good to begin with. these things are horrible looking. Reminds me of a dodge neon srt in the rear and a scion in the front. In no way does this look like a bmw. What's going on??

This is what an M2 should look like. I'm sorry, they totally ruined the M2 and it's a damned shame.

How many of those parts are OEM M2 performance?

Sure

TargaM2 · 11-15-2022, 10:10 PM

I quite like the G87 design, keep in mind this is just a demo car to show ALL the available add ons (yes some are bad).
With the right spec & some aftermarket components (once available) im sure this car can look great.
Am i ordering one…no im not but my reasons are more to do with the transmission, dash, ebrake & continual size increase, not because of the styling.
Its still the best new BMW currently available to enthusiasts imo & once the upgraded editions arrive im sure it will be even more desirable.

That is some weird design.

Maybe remove that Integra wing while you're at it

I'd like to see the wing colour coded to the car rather than black. It would blend in more & look way better im sure.
Someone will do it soon enough & we will see.

That's what the problem is

I couldn't figure it out

Needs painting

Quick photoshop with side add-ons & roof spoiler removed & wing painted, car still needs lowering but it's more cohesive now & an improvement imo.

specka · 11-16-2022, 07:00 AM

It's almost comical how bad the m perf stuff looks. I do like the base car though.

Definitely looks better w/ paint 🎨

mfarrzhp · 11-16-2022, 07:43 AM

Love the wheels and don't hate the wing. All of the other performance parts are pretty bad.

I think an m2 in white or black with just the gold wheels and a drop will look really good.

Ricochet48 · 11-16-2022, 09:20 AM

Honestly the rear (not the roof, yuck) spoiler could look nice with some tweaks. If they pushed it back a few inches, adjusted the angle so that it flowed from the taillights more, and painted it in the body color... it might work.

Reminds me of a more tame version of the Integra/RSX type R spoilers.
