I honestly really like it. Something nostalgic about that M sport spoiler. Daring designs lately but rather than thrashing markus I think he need a pat on the back for his bravery. The designs will always be fresh, rather than age badly. People hated bangles designs but they're actually pretty cool nowadays.

The taillight is the same is the M240i; the "light bar" is red in the US and doubles as both a turn signal/brake light and in the rest of the world the separated narrow light bar is amber and functions only as the turn signals.

They fixed the headlights & the front side grills (I hope) but the taillights still need help.

It also needs xDrive!

Wow! I'm thinking/hoping this will look great when the unveil it. I really love these wheels as well! Looking like a worthy replacement for my M4 in a few years.

Curious what the starting MSRP will be. 57k?

I expect G87 M2 test mules to lap the Nürburgring again late March - early April.
Maybe we get to see a bit of camo removed during those tests.

Note: in the latest video the G87 M2 test mule lapping the Nürburgring is not the same car as the one driving on a backroad at the end of the video: different license plates (M-IA-9637 and M-IE-3268).

Would that wing fit on an M240i? Looks amazing.

I sincerely hope that shopping cart handle is optional, it looks out of place on a 60k+ vehicle.. Unless one's ultimate goal is to cruise around the high schools and swoon all the pubescent dudes…

It's not standard, it's an 'M Performance Part' (MPP). Here's the kicker, you have to pay more $$$ to look like a tool with that wing.

Thank the sweet baby Jesus you have to pay to more to add weight..

Huge wings does have a certain charm.. It's like seeing an adult wearing their favourite superhero costume as they walk down the street. It tells me that they still daydream.. 😗

I just hope at some point they offer a nice carbon fiber Gurney flap for it. *fingers crossed*

At 2:13 it takes a dive near perfectly then proceeds to annihilate that corner..... the hype is very real.

This is clearly BMW leaking these right? To spot it the second it leaves the garage seems a little too obvious. I couldn't care less, I hope these keep coming!

Totally agree with you that the light bar may be 100% the same, but the turn signal isn't a light bar at all… which leaves open the possibility of a different light altogether. Probably some wishful thinking in there too.

Problem with that… the tail lights do not always get the LCI treatment. Hope I am wrong as I dislike the tail lights on the G42 and the G05 which has an LCI coming soon.

I saw the video and from what I deduce, a majority of the turn signal "light bar" is cropped out by camouflage but it's more or less the same taillight design as the G42.

And common sense will dictate that on a lower production vehicle like the M2, they have zero reason to add resources in revising the taillight, being that the M2 is merely a souped-up version of the 2 Series.

Some folks are also claiming that the headlight are unique to the G87 but there is no precedent for any standard M car having bespoke headlights (other the M5 CS yellow DRL), so knowing how BMW gets down, I have to see it to believe it.
