I just hope the car is as lively and playful as the F87. I'd rather it not become an uber-refined cruiser.

BMW is more playful than cayman, which is better for me at least ``

I simply would like to know how much lighter the G87 M2 is compared to the G80 M3...

1600-1650 for the MT is a good number IMO with the extra power of S58.
would be happy with that.

BMW isn't full of surprises anymore, they're very predictable. I bet you anything that's exactly the seats we'll end up on the US market, if you don't opt for the carbon bucket - take it or leave it. |

M340i Weight Increase https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1599263 . The G82, M240i, and M340i all tops out at over 3,800lbs+. With practically no weight savings expect maybe a few scattered pieces of aluminum suspension components here and there, I expect the G87 to hit right about that number, so plus or minus 100lbs.. |

Those cheap seats lack the proper bolstering needed for an M car. The one review with Joe A. mentioned he was sliding around in them. If they use them in the G87 I will incessantly rip BMW a new anoosehole every chance I get, and believe me, they won't like it.

I really don't want to be one of those people that nitpick every single detail that drops but honestly, those standard seats are major disappointment for the M2 👎🏻 The upside is they do look like they'll be comfortable, like something you can easily slide in and out of but a terrible compromise for lateral support. I'm also worried how that alcantra material will wear in like over 3 years of daily usage. Trust me, It's no longer going to look pretty 😗 |

The VP of BMW M stated the G87 will get the G8x seats as standard and the CF bucket as an option. |

Dude, I don't 100% trust anything they say. I'm not saying they're intentionally lying, but they've been inaccurate on many details in the past. I can't blame them, these cars vary a lot region to region, etc.

Only 1 of the 2 vehicles had these seats. Don't think it's too out of the ordinary. Probably a vehicle that never got the proper seats when it was produced who knows how long ago. It does have roughly 10k miles on it so I'd presume a good ways back.
