I though the same thing when I looked at my park job. “Now I remember why I don’t lower my cars!”

If a car lacks a front-facing camera, that GREATLY reduces my urge to lower it or put front aero on it.

It's a shame that the G87 lacks a front camera option.

I thought JustinHEMI added a dash cam, I don't *think* that would help with curb rash. I could be wrong on both counts.

You say this like it would be a bad thing. I bet the Contrarian Capitan gets an awesome hat. I would fight people for that hat.

Unless everyone wanted it, then I'd have to say "hats are for suckers" and get rid of it.

Hrm. This hat is a paradox.

Hmm...

Just a dash cam and it doesn't help with curbing.

Just back-in everywhere.

Looking at adding CF air inlets and the rear spoiler to my order. Also have the carbon pack with mg TR. Anyone with a similar spec care to post it up? (Yes I’ve seen a few across the forums)

Turned the valves fully open like I did on my G80 M3. Same process: take the valve actuators off, turn the valves open with a screwdriver and screw the actuators back on. Looks OEM without any loose valve rattle.

Sounds so much fruitier, deeper and louder. The pops and bangs are significantly more pronounced on the G87 compared to the G80. Don’t know how I feel about them though!

Cold start (use headphones):

I think this G42 lip is perfect (for me and my eye).
I agree! Looks amazing. I’ve had mine sitting in my garage since I took delivery. Hopefully I shall install it sometime this year 😂.

Definitely a MUST DO IMO, regardless of how one chooses to go with it. I was lucky that my PPF installer surprised me with laying PPF on it.

Congratulations! Looks great.

I’m in Chicagoland today with mine. Fields did the 1200 mile service so I’m good to go. My son got to drive it last night and loved it. Headed to AZ this afternoon.

I’m going to miss this great weather. It’ll be 105F when I get home.

Enjoy your new ride.

Are the G87 speccd H&Rs available yet (or are you assuming same part number as G80/82)?

Last few days actually haven't been horrible here but indeed back to triple digits shortly. Curious to see how she handles the heat though. It'll probably be cooled off by the time mine comes in lol.

Pretty sure there was a member with a black G87 in the suspension section that got them on. Congrats on the allocation!
