Does 8/24 coincide with LCI?

Nevermind found the answer.

August 2024: G87 M2 'changeover' (possibly G87 M2 Competition);
March 2025: G87 M2 end of production;
April 2025: G87 M2 LCI start of production;

There will for sure be an M2C and IMO there's no way it doesn't debut before the LCI model.

Just curious why you think that? Two years isn't that long, and would be consistent with how it was done last gen. Would make sense to come out with a comp model together with a updated design, not beforehand.

Because there have been many interviews with BMW M where they want to rollout more models in the M lineup. It's not a stretch to conclude they need to come out with new variants quickly to capitalize on them.

These are all potential variants in the lifecyle of every M car including the G87.

M# > M#C > M#CS > M#CSL > M# GTS > M# ?

Just look at the M3/4 for instance. The base M3/4 and M3/4C came out at the same time. Then a year later they offered the M3/4C xDrive, then the M4 CSL came out. Today we got news of yet another M3 model coming out, possibly a CS. And don't forget the limited run 3.0 CSL which is based off the M4 that will be out later. And don't believe for a second that's all, there will be many more variants to come.

That might bump me up the build list as the wealthier folks ahead of me might want to wait for a higher tier variant.

If BMW continue to not offer the MT on those variants and possible base M2 post LCI, I am not interested.

At any rate, I really don’t expect much from the G87 comp this time around. Colors and suspension tweaks, wheels and a slightly different front end. Super small power bump to 473 hp…

Well... these current color options suck! I'm looking for the bmw performance wheels, dont care about a mini power bump, front end could use some improving for sure
will probably pick one up and wrap it in a color i can stand.

I am thinking of doing a deposit on one when I get my G87 delivered, on the off chance it's worth it, and I like it more. Or hopefully by then I can just keep both

Act sooner rather than later. I have heard through the grapevine that some BMW Centers have already taken deposits for the G87 LCI.

My F80 6MT already had that.

The above was posted today and as expected the G80/2 will likely get an LCI update along with the G22/G23. There have been some rumblings that the M3/4 will get completely revised grilles. Maybe they'll be akin to those on the 3.0 CSL? That would be sweet.

I bring this up here because the G42 LCI is 04/2025 and if the G87 follows the same road it too should get an LCI update at the same time the G42 does. What those changes will be it's too early to say.

Could just be dealer bull#!?% - but I walked into the flagship dealer for NSW here in AU to test drive a car (not the M2) they didn’t have at my dealer… was up front about already having placed an order for the G87 M2… and during my chat with them, the guy told me according to BMW they don’t plan on doing a competition version of the G87.

Reason I mentioned that he knew my order was with another dealer is to demonstrate he wasn’t trying to get me to buy it, he had nothing to gain by telling me that…

This is what headoffice in Melbourne told him.

True or not, I don’t know - but this car isn’t far off the base M3 and rivals with the previous M2 CS, a competition version with mad power gains would probably make higher M car owners pretty angry - BMW are also committed to going hybrid and electric… it would make sense IMO that they wouldn’t be spending too much more effort on a competition model, so to keep us happy and make some money they make one last fully petrol M2 and use a whole lot of M3/4 parts…

It would be nice if the G87 M2 was actually delivered before all the speculation about a mythical M2C is solidified LOL. Who cares if they have an LCI or LIC or CSL etc. They have 3 years of production before it is done. The LCI, LC, CS, CSL, Comp etc should practically be finished and on the road for major testing yet no M2's have been delivered lol!

I doubt he heard anything credible about the AUS market not getting the Competiton model. You guys got the F87 M2C last time. Perhaps it's as simple as him wanting you to buy the car that's currently in production instead of putting thoughts in your head to wait it out for a Competiton model?

Nah, there was no discussion about me waiting for the comp - I personally think IF there is a comp that it’d be auto with xdrive, and I want the manual… so I won’t be waiting for the comp. He knew I had an order in already for the M2.

Sure, credible or not I don’t know… I guess this whole thread is speculation… just thought about that convo when you were certain there would be a comp.

Time will tell

G87 M2
In production until 07/29
G87 M2 Competition will indeed be called "M2 Competition".

Old news.

FYI, if it is anything like the G80/G82 Comp, the G87 Comp will be automatic and xDrive only.
