They are not functional which is hilarious because the designer mentioned he purposely left off the fender vents because they served no purpose of functionality lol. I do wish they had the fender gills/vents, they would look nicer on a body like this since it has a longer bonnet.

My biggest complaint regarding the M240i is no manual tranny. I would have got one if they did.

I honestly think if the G87 had a more traditional vertical grill it would transform the front end and fix most of the complaints.
This picture is telling to me, I don't know why they opted for the grill to be concaved and horizontal? Imagine the 240i grill on the M2 with an M2 badge, perfection. Really surprised this hasn't been mentioned by more guys on here. That being said, I'm sure there will be options in the future, so it's exciting to see what mods come. Also, those full carbon air ducts are a game-changer, wow.

I dont think the direction of the slats is of any issue. Look atbthe beaver fronts, they are horizontal as well. As to the "roundness" or lack thereof, I would say there is little difference between the G42 M240 and G87 M2 (I have the M240, still waiting on the M2). Again, looks are totally subjective and a personal preference to each individual so there is no right or wrong. |

to me anyway, BMW signature kidney grill should be VERTICAL! Especially on a M car
once I get my car, this is my first mod if a reasonable priced aftermarket vertical front grill is available! I think it looks more aggressive too! |

I kind of compare my thoughts to when I first saw the S550 Mustang. I was like, "Meh." But, over time it grew on me and seeing them in person even more so. I loved the looks of my 2022 Mustang GT and it was hard to part with it. As for the G87, I actually liked it when I first saw pictures. But when we went to the dealership to look at the AW / Cognac / CF Roof / Bi-color wheels one they had we absolutely loved it both inside and out. It really is a good looking car. And I've received several compliments / 👍 in the 400+ miles I've driven it around town. About the only thing I would say they need to do is body color paint the base of the inlet below the bumper to complete the look of the front ( yes I know I can buy a part to complete that look).
