There is nothing new on the G87, mechanically it is a G80 with a shorter wheelbase. End.

Couple of things that we learned during the prototype test drives were that the front springs of the G87 are stiffer while the rear springs are softer and that dampers for the rear are lifted from the M3 Touring. I'm sure we'll learn more about other differences in the weeks to come. They also had to remap virtually everything (steering, suspension, brakes, etc.) for the G87. Some of the test drivers commented that it feels totally different to drive than a G80/2.

Bought a 2021 M2 Competition in September last year
There is a strong temptation to say YOLO and buy the new shiny toy but for the price premium a loaded version will command and the depreciation hit I'll be eating, I'm trying to stay disciplined and hold my ground =)) |

Interesting, in my state we get tax break for the value of the trade in when buying s new vehicle. So say you trade in. 50k car for a 60k car you are only taxed on the 10k difference.

Highly doubtful I'd get that as trade value by the time this new car is out. |

Agreed. That will be a hard pass for me.
This guy does not like the HVAC controls being within ID8. Prefers real dials. I have to agree as well. Last edited by T_U_D; 09-22-2022 at 08:13 AM.. |

Plus the M2C is a beautiful car and more car than most people would ever need. It will age well too. If you've had it for awhile I get wanting something new but those trading in 1 year old cars to me is a real head scratcher unless you have money to burn. |

More than likely by the time the G87 launches the U.S. economy will be in a recession. It will be interesting. |

If you asked me today if we're going to be in a mutually agreed upon "recession" later this year or sometime next year my answer would be I doubt it. But hey, my 'guess' is just as good as everyone else's. |
