Interesting, states only 20 more KG's than the F87 which is like 45lbs give or take

I am glad they are keeping the 6MT's power the same as the auto but I am slightly bummed that 18/19 inch wheel combo from the base M3/4 will not be standard. Definitely would have helped in our rougher US roads...

No one orders those wheels though.

The chassis and dampening on the G87 is better tuned than the F87 and it also gets adaptive suspension as standard. We should all be thankful it's getting the 19/20 M lightweight forged wheels standard. Upgrading to 19/20 wheels on the M3/4 is a $1,300 option.

Sounds very promising! Can’t wait for the reveal.
Just absolutely hate the ipad screen. It just looks so silly in a small sports coupe.
