Except for the insiders we have on this forum have said multiple times this render isn't accurate and I trust that since they've actually seen the vehicle

No one here has seen the vehicle. The only thing that is factual are the actual spy shots of this vehicle. Everything else is still up in the air.

The G87 M2 is dead to me.

(Nice job on the render, though.)

A year and a half before its release and before we see anything remotely close to the final product.

Front design appears completely disconnected from the rest of the car according to what we know for sure.....and in particular disconnected to the rear end design. I do not believe that this sees the light of the day or rather do really hope the render is a bad joke. This desperate attempt to look beefy by any means is just disgusting, period!

Not bad, will definitely wait a bit more for some more leaks or the real thing. Some of the design touches are a bit weird, such as the mix of horizontal and vertical lines.

I think the car is going to be a beast and a blast to drive. Just don't feel German enough for some very strange reason.

The JDM vibes are present though and continue to impact BMW's design language, including the new upcoming double headlight X7 and 7-Series.

It makes sense since China has become BMW largest market.

The boxy aspect of this front reminds me of the 2002 Hommage concept they put out a while ago. If they continue to trend down that route, might actually look kinda good.

These renders are probably 95% accurate despite what some "ITKs" say. But the final will look better.

It looks like a dated design to me but it does have character.

The headlights in the render in the first post - I finally figured out where I'd seen something similar. I guess it could end up something like this. (Hopefully the link works)

What insiders?

Spy shots of bumper match the camp cars spy shots

Might be a tad bit different with grills and such but the base design looks pretty certain to be like this

This version looks way better & more likely imo. Nice touch with the cs bonnet too.

god that's heavy for a small 2+2 car

But I guess you are not far from the truth, unfortunately.

If so, how can it weight only 200kg less than an M5 ! that's crazy when you think about it.

I really like this. I certainly don't like the squares. What I wish is this was the M240. The M2 is just too raw for a daily driver, at least on the crappy roads I have to drive.

Fair point. But the hard points were set with the g42, so many of the design parameters for the g87 are fixed.
