So is it 453 or 460 HP? I see both being reported on as the power number.

I think it's 460 metric horsepower (PS) = 453 HP

Looks like G87 M2 Competition in August 2024. I’m assuming G87 M2 CS/CSL not until 2025 at the earliest.

Watched the whole thing. Bummer that the dinky 52l fuel tank is the same as F87. What was bizarre was the interviewer questioned him about it, and his answer was not that it was a packaging issue or some logical thing, but that this was what they thought was the right balance between capacity and.. weight?? That seems insane to me. Anyone who cares about a few pounds of fuel could just put less fuel in it. Anyone who wants a reasonable range could fill a larger tank and more fuel weight would be the last thing on their mind. Seems like a strange decision.

I agree with this. One of the most frustrating things about F87 M2 is it’s small fuel tank. Only seems to get you roughly 300 miles.

10:55 - No individual colors at launch.

11:15 - All but confirms G87 is following F87 lifecycle.

Anxiously waiting to know whether this will ever come out with xDrive which will determine whether I wait for the Competition or LCI or just go for a G80
