I see threads about people with deposits down and selling their cars already to make room, while I'm on the fence about this car.
My F87C is such an awesome car, at a great price, that I have a hard time believing that the G87 will be that much better than the F87. I get the argument that it is newer, with better tech, and a more powerful motor. But on the flip side, it will undoubtedly cost more, maybe substantially more, weigh more, have smaller brakes, a more cramped cabin, substantially smaller rear seating area, and maybe have some polarizing looks (good or bad).
So I suppose my question is, is anyone else waiting on details before plunging down money? This could be the G80/82 fiasco all over again.

no

Well, for me, i am def interested in the car. For me, I am not going to be buying when it first goes up for sale as I am paying off my wife's new car (I personally do not like having more than 1 car loan) so I was always going to wait. When I am ready to make a car purchase for myself the M2 will already have been out for a while and I will be able to compare it to other cars that I am also considering.

[MG20i]

I am getting one unless it is to cramped for me. No other sport coupe to compare to or keep.

[Game]

It's pretty much a done deal for me. Sold the Audi and there's nothing else I'm looking at.

Just impatiently waiting on options, pricing, and of course a full reveal.

[SW19]

You needed one more option in the poll for some of us that will be getting the G87 and also keeping our F87.

I'm still on the fence. Have a $1k deposit down. 1st in line at the stealership. MSRP in writing. Fully refundable until build starts/VIN produced. Really enjoying my M240. Not too sure about the new dash screen. Not sure I need to spend $20K+ for power/performance features I'll rarely use. But time is on my side.

I'm committed. Sold my 2018 F82 and I have a deposit placed at my dealer. #1 on the list at MSRP in writing

Not on the fence and not interested in the G87. Keeping my F87 M2C.

It has low miles, looks like new, drives great, and I prefer the styling compared to the G87.

[JustinHEMI]

The only thing I'm on the fence about is using my first in line allocation to buy ASAP, or wait until a comp version or LCI. But I will have the G87 in some form.

[ESB]

I'm further back than on the fence. I'm not considering getting a G87.

First of all I do think it's premature to commit before the official reveal, though of course everyone can always back out.

I'm confident the G87 will be faster and have some features that I wish my F87 had.

But I love my F87 comp. It's more than fast enough for me, fun enough for me, and looks absolutely stunning. I don't think I'd find a good reason to replace it with a G87.

I don't care too much for future resale value but I do think the F87 will age better. If nothing else, the analog gauge cluster will be a positive differentiator many years on.

Overall my plan is to pay off the F87 and then get an electric car as a daily driver and keep the F87 around as a weekend car that will remind me about "the good old days" in the years and decades to come. We'll see though.

F87 is gone.

Don't plan on getting the G87 immediately. I want to see what the competition model has to offer before I decide. I'm in no hurry, I may wait for the LCI too, but that may kill me.

That said, I love the folks on the M2 forum. Members here are just more down to Earth and real car guys/gals, unlike the posers in the other forums. I was all over the F87 forum since its inception, but now that the F87 has been out of production for a while that forum has become a bit lame and boring. You have a ton of new members asking the same tired old questions that were answered years ago. Entropy has started to take root there; now it's common to find stupid threads asking stupid questions like what watches do you like, or something to that effect. Yikes! I can't stand nut flexing contests or inane discussions which made me jump ship first chance I got. I enjoy technical discussions, serious car talk, learning new things about cars, etc. That's why as soon as the G87 forum was started I setup shop here.

But I digress. Am I on the fence? Yes, the fence of fuck yeah!

[geschick10]

I am keeping my F87 M2 Comp. My plan is to also wait and see till I see the new M2 on the streets, there are plenty of reviews on the car, etc.
Hopefully at that point, the car market will be back to "normal" again too.

I feel that many times, we jump on the next new thing, assuming it will be "more" / "better". Its human nature.

Unless you are planning on tracking the car, I don't think the power difference with the new M2 model will be usable on the streets per se.
I also like the looks of the current M2 Comp better ( personal opinion, being the new M240 my reference).

I don't care about better technology much, honestly I barely use the tech features that the current generation brings.

Excited to see the new M2 hitting the dealers though and see how successful it is.

100% interested, however I am absolutely on the fence simply because I would love to own a GT4. Getting a GT4 for MSRP is the main issue for me at the moment. I don't believe in paying mark ups

I would also like a GT4. The ones I saw had about 30-50% markup. This was on used and new. Although not sure if there are actually new ones sitting around on the lot. Perhaps on order. Anyway, I'm not paying a premium mark-up on a toy for my carhole.

Yup it's been pretty nasty recently. I inquired about a few and haven't even gotten responses back when I mention I would be interested in moving forward at MSRP

You've seen the G87? Mind sharing some pics?

[vampire81]

undecided. i'm afraid i will miss the dct.
even after i bought a camaro last December, i still drive my M2C more. both are weekend cars. unless it comes with xdrive then yes, definitely yes.
i really wanted an M3 xdrive but it's above my budget.

The only pics I've seen were from here, haven't seen it in person. It's not bad looking and given the last M3/M4 it could have been much worse.
