Yep.

I'm sure it provides real down force. The cammo is messing with me right now. I like the "boxyness" of the G87 so when the cammo comes off, it will probably look more cohesive.

It's unfortunate we don't get a double DRL design, I know. I'm not happy about it either. However, that being said, the headlights still look fantastic
The headlights on the G42 come to a point as they near the grille.



The front bumper leaks on the G87 has a different cutout for the headlight area. The most inward edge of the headlight area is near vertical and does not come to a point.




Does that mean the "empty" area is where the vents are?

Yep that one is honestly a very good render. Side skirts are very wrong and front end needs a tad bit of work, but overall a very good representation of the real thing

Don't listen to anyone asking you to post pics. You'll be reprimanded almost immediately by the mods. PM me the pics instead and we'll keep it between us.

Awesome, I was really hoping it didn't. They really let the M240i down IMO.

Yes iD8 was established a long time ago.

As far as interior, all we know is CF buckets will be an option.
Confirmed it has iD8 and large screens

While I like this car and own the F87C I'm just scared that BMW is going to make it bloated on top of having less interior room.

Other than that I hope they can maintain that maniac character with the ZF transmission.

The interior space is closer to the F87 if spec'd without xDrive or a sunroof. Since the G87 does not have xDrive or a sunroof it should be more spacious than the M240i.

See my post from another thread...

NEW INFORMATION:

-Carbon roof has what looks like the traditional 1x1 weave pattern seen on the M3/4

-Rear bumper is pretty much dead on with the picture that has the front and rear bumper next to each other posted a few pages back on this thread

-This specific car has full black leather in the interior (seats included) and apparently the large screens of the iD8 don't look out of place

I have updated the original post with this info
