Nice work! Definitely family resemblance. No wrong choice.

NO question the G87 is better looking to me.
It's not perfect at all— but it has potential!

The G80/G82 are the worst looking non-SUV M cars ever.

curtdragon · 10-14-2022, 10:59 AM

I feel like they added plates not for rigidity but to not have the M2 outshine the M4 even with the reduced power.

M3AWD · 10-14-2022, 11:00 AM

G80 FTW!

4 doors more h0es

PLF69 · 10-14-2022, 11:01 AM

8.4inch shorter than the M4.

WWM3 · 10-14-2022, 11:02 AM

G87>G82. No sense in comparing G80 since it's a four door IMO.

Eddie2315 · 10-14-2022, 11:04 AM

G80 please! 😁 never been a fan of coupes unless it's a super car. the G82 and G87 look decent but the G80 just looks so much nicer IMO

Mavus · 10-14-2022, 11:10 AM

g87 needs g80 lights head and tail proportionally sized

duky · 10-14-2022, 11:13 AM

Really want to see the M2 in person. Same width as M4 but shorter sounds like an awesome combo!

10mm<8.4 inch... you meant 0.4 I suppose?

EDIT: awww shorter in length... not height... silly English.. likely better to refer to something as being longer or taller with car dimensions than shorter I suppose.

GOLFFRR · 10-14-2022, 11:20 AM

nice post.

It's 8.4 inches, the info (in mm) is it right in the PDF on this post.

Edit: it *is* 10mm taller than the m4, so that's probably the source of your confusion.

I see a 214mm difference

GrannyShiftG80 · 10-14-2022, 11:23 AM

I got your 8.4 inches right here

Lokguru · 10-14-2022, 11:28 AM

Front, don't seem one is better than the other
Rear I like M3

G87 all day, couldn’t deal with that G80/82 front.

reward72 · 10-14-2022, 11:45 AM

Put the G80/G82 headlights on the G87 and the G87 would win for me no contest.

NYCMT · 10-14-2022, 11:45 AM

Still kinda stunned they fixed the grill and somehow still managed to make the G87 uglier. Makes my G80 look beautiful in comparison. Never thought I would ever say that.

E63M6_G42M240i · 10-14-2022, 11:48 AM

M4 +20 HP & +16 lbs probably +$11k similarly equipped (at MSRP). Do you want more room and a pig snout or less room and a tank ass?
