Is it me or does it look weird in the Brooklyn gray. Not sure light colors suit it. Maybe it will look better in person.

manolooo · 07-19-2021, 04:59 PM

Thanks for the pics!! Goodwood was AWESOME to watch this year…

reward72 · 07-19-2021, 05:19 PM

Looks like the purple one is NOT an M240. It has body coloured skirts, round tailpipes and smaller bumper intakes. I wish I could order an M240 that looks like that... I'm not sold on the taillights yet and I hate that it gained weight, but overall I like it. I will buy a manual M2, assuming it sounds great. Hopefully it has not been muted down by new regulations like many other cars.

JustChris · 07-19-2021, 05:32 PM

Many thanks for the pics.

Still waiting to see a Melbourne Red M240i

Rupes · 07-19-2021, 05:35 PM

Nice to see the early pics, and thanks for sharing OP.

Looks Subaru BRZish to me, but dare I say, not as nice?

Lots of shapes and angles with the front bumper, and I feel like the hood line should be more elegant now that they've had nearly 10 years to figure it out.

avantegardestyle · 07-19-2021, 05:45 PM

BMW styling has lost its soft timeless elegance and these cars are angular and ugly with just too many ridges and sharp lines that will not age well.

Rewted · 07-19-2021, 05:50 PM

When is the new M2 release?

I believe they'll begin production late 2022.

chicagofan00 · 07-19-2021, 06:15 PM

Those taillights are terrible!

It also looks very disproportionate in BG.

Bimmer Pleaser · 07-19-2021, 06:20 PM

I love round looking cars I am digging this even though that squiggly red line through the taillights looks a little weird. Can't wait to see the M2.

jmack123 · 07-19-2021, 06:24 PM

Man the front of this car looks so odd. Sunken in headlights that are spaced as far apart as possible. Looks like a flounder.

Cause we're all used to BG in the G80/G82 and the larger grill. Agreed with you that BG is off on this one.

Masander · 07-19-2021, 06:31 PM

Looks great with that traditional grille. Im not saying its the most beautiful BMW ever but at least its 9875378578698986 times better than

MEGA GRILLE

Looks like primer and I still can't understand why anyone would want a car in primer. There's a reason primer is the color it is, because it's so ugly everyone knows it's still to be painted it's final color.

I think it would look good in candy apply red. I also don't understand why every American and Japanese car co have a great metallic candy apple red, but none of the Germans do.

Eddien123 · 07-19-2021, 06:56 PM

Such an awkward looking car. They are all nowadays. Bmw the G20 5 is EXACTLY what a bmw should look like. Not this or the g22/ G80/2. There's evolution from old design and departure. This is a very disturbing departure from old design. It's not innovative, it's ugly. Pure and simple.

14DH8RS · 07-19-2021, 07:13 PM

This is all eye see…

F30_Paul_ · 07-19-2021, 07:44 PM

I hope BMW loses millions because of the G-chassis styling

EDWYER · 07-19-2021, 07:46 PM

Not a fan of those front lights at all.

Sedan_Clan · 07-19-2021, 08:04 PM

I like Brooklyn on that car.

Such busy designs.

Sales are up. So technically they lost millions due to the F chassis cars.
