But that's what the FRONT brakes are for!

No amount of hate is going to stop this from being an absolute smash hit.

Unless 3800 lbs makes handling worse.

You can thank crash test safety nazis and the majority of American buyers that want all the features from a fully loaded Escalade in their sports cars.

Yup that definitely caught me off guard. Ain't no way.

4.1 for Manual, 3.9 for Auto

And where exactly is the transformation?! It's the leaked car and the leaked bumper from over a year ago. People saying total transformation from leaks are delusional. Better lighting, photography, professional pics etc the car is the same

I liked this Q&A!

Absolute masterpiece, way better than Leaks. Interior is incredible.

ashutoshkotha · 10-11-2022, 06:47 PM

The front doesn't fit in with the design. Considering that everything else is growing on me.

Eager to see how the car looks in-person. Have a feeling it will look much better in-person.

buckybadger · 10-11-2022, 06:47 PM

I am looking forward for the LCI M2C.

This one looks all right. The front looks boring but the rear is interesting.

Jblack4083 · 10-11-2022, 06:47 PM

Im stuck somewhere between "the side profile looks like a modern take on the E30 M3" and "this looks worse than the F87"

RAUDERRIPPER · 10-11-2022, 06:47 PM

Like the car. Weight is MEH.

And that is STILL not better than the F87.

Too much bumper 🤮

0-100 km in 4.1 auto, 4.3 6MT.

0-60 mph in 3.9 auto, 4.1 6MT.

BMW is usually conservative on their hp and acceleration estimates.

If you are worried about the weight, get the 6MT (55 lbs lighter), Carbon seats (11 lbs lighter) and the Carbon Roof (11 lbs lighter).

Only seems that way because they banned everyone from the G80 forums who didn't fall over for that monstrosity.

The car looks worse with age, at least this M2 here isn't a complete abomination.

agent_orange · 10-11-2022, 06:49 PM

Pictures are 1000x better than the leaks as expected, but my impression of the car still isn't much better.
Still don't like it, still won't be buying one.
Will sell very well though.

Fugly M3 · 10-11-2022, 06:49 PM

Does it look better in red? Yes. Is the 3/4 front shot great? Yes. Is the rear still eek to the max? Oh yea! All that is NBD compared to the weight.

Just above your post.

He also just said the middle seat, the "special M2 sport seat," is the base seat for the USA.

ASAP · 10-11-2022, 06:49 PM

strictly from a generational performance progress perspective... what is better here vs F87?

I see auto vs dct.
+300 lbs
0 extra tq and 48 more hp...

Kind of a half ass effort in general... hopefully the suspension is far more composed than the old one.

Supadice · 10-11-2022, 06:50 PM

I posted this on my IG JULY 10 2021

People said NO WAY is that the front bumper.

Indeed it's the exact thing. Just like the leaks were the actual production car. Now all of a sudden ALAKAZAMMMMM TRANSFORMATION

MinMax · 10-11-2022, 06:50 PM

Love the side the most, then rear then front. Can't wait to see the BSM color on this car.
