BMW DIY Guy 'Nimona' G87 build out thread

Well all.. so it begins with the new G87 M2, and the start of what no doubt will be an epic build out thread. I will keep a running log of the build as she progresses here, and track the changes, updates and more. The crazy thing is, as of right now (july 2023) I already have 4+ projects lined up for a car that hasnt even been built yet. Crazy huh?

I will keep this going as the build progresses to match what was done with the F32 and the F87 no doubt. Not much to show right now, but the next few months before the car gets here will be busy with planning and lining up projects, then going to hit it HARD in October.

Thanks yall.. not much to show yet but if my F87 build is an example, many things are coming.

I have lots and lots of possible items on the radar, but won't add them to the build plan until confirmed.

For now.. still stage 3 of the build process.

Not sure on the CSL and will pick up in a few days, so I can get ready for delivery.

She is here and home.. several more projects arrived with more on the way. I will update the build list with all the new things coming.

Initial impressions are very very positive, other than the audio system. The HKs really aren't great with very little richness to the full sound range. I cannot wait to tear them out for a full set of Bimmertech Aplha Ones with speakers, subs and amp.

It's dawned on me what BMW has done with the G87. The biggest shock was the shift from the F87, and the change was jarring.

The G87 has flat door handles, horizontal kidneys and front grill accents, and a more boxy sharp edged design.

Tell me the G87 isn't a modern homage to the classic E30 M3? The similarities are striking once I realized it.

Throw on some gold BBS wheels and suddenly it's an updated E30!

Well done BMW, and all the reservations I had about the G87 evaporated!

Hmmm... gold BBS wheels.. I wonder what might be coming in BBS boxes?


PONDER..

That's what I thought also. And it seems the squared off designs may be coming back. The new Mustang and Nissan Z as examples.
