Toronto Red G87 With Winter Wheels

SW19 · 03-20-2023, 06:09 PM

I was finally able to see a TR G87 up at BMW Canada today.It’s one of those reds that isn’t a true red.Color looked good but it just has to much orange it for me.Maybe i just need to have more time looking at the color before deciding.

This car has the winter wheels with snow tires which are 19 inch.It actually didn’t look to bad with these wheels.Should be an OK look for someone who will be driving this car in the winter.I really dislike the front licence plate on this car.Totally messes up the look of the front bumper.

This is the second M2 that i have now seen in person.Saw a ZB G87 back in the fall.I don’t know if it’s the TR color but the design looked much more cohesive then the first time.I might just be more used to the design now after viewing so many pics of the car but the car looked good.

Here is a video and some pica.

This was on that Stop Sale USA bound list TAG posted a while back.

Was this at a Dealer or Corporate HQ?
Carbon pack with a 50th decals, doesn’t seem like an HEA.

Thank you for sharing!

Those look like the chrome exhaust tips. Can you confirm? I am well aware Canada gets to select chrome or black exhaust tips irregardless if the shadowline package is selected.

cmgbk75 · 03-20-2023, 07:06 PM

I ran the VIN but nothing came back. They look like Chrome to me. Looking good too…

At BMW Canada corporate HQ just north of Toronto.So being driven by someone who works at BMW Canada.It’s probably a car that will be used sometimes for reviews.They most likely already completed the recall work.

Yes,definitely has the chrome exhaust tips.They look good with shadowline just like the original M2.

Perfect! Thank you again! This fully confirms my plans to swap out the black tips that we are forced to get with the Shadowline Pkg in the U.S.

It is strange that they don’t allow you to choose which tips you want like in Canada.I would also select the chrome tips.

The U.S. Product Planning team ultimately decides what we do and do not get.

My 15 year streak of not running a front plate in Virginia will continue

sweetvar26 · 03-21-2023, 02:34 PM

Can you tell me the profile of the tire? Is it running a square set up?

They are running with a full 19in snow setup?
Interesting to have an 18/19 during summer and 19/19 for winter

Good grief. The summer setup is 19/20 275/35 285/30.

The profile of the tire is literally shown in the video clip.

Oh I’m so dumb… I knew it but still messed up my mind

LivingInSalt · 03-21-2023, 04:24 PM

Is this also the first we're seeing a US/Canada shaped license plate mounted on the front?

Definitely the first one that i have seen.Its not a good look.The problem is that it goes over the kidney grille area and the lower area.Euro plate looks much better.There will probably be quite a few people that will take there chances and not run the front plate in places where it’s required.

Squidget · 03-22-2023, 10:47 PM

I'm one of those people who will want to run a 19 square setup to deal with Boston weather. And I have to admit I have NO idea what kind of wheels to get. OEM? BBS? Something better? I'm paralyzed into indecision. Nice fancy wheels are great, but on the other hand, it sucks to trash a really expensive wheel on a pothole. Gah.

I can't tell from the video, are the lower plate bolts drilled directly into the bumper?
