Good afternoon everyone,
Saw this posted by Adro on IG yesterday…it sure makes the G87 like the car BMW should’ve designed.
While their aero kit for G80/82/83 is controversial…this, I REALLY like!
🤩🤩🤩🔥🔥🔥
Thoughts out there???
Here’s the link:

It's alright... I am not a fan of the kidney grille shape on this render. The concept they made with masking tape for the rear was really cool!

I don't like it. I bought the M2 because I like how the stock bumper looks.

I love it! I like vertical grill!!!
too bad I don't like changing the whole bumper when it is brand new....

I rather have factory paint job over body shop paint job. It is hard to match the color completely.

The grill is too basic looking, looks like a 230i. The bumper looks pretty aggressive, so that's cool. But I think a nice lip with a new grill and carbon intakes on what we already have will look even better than that render.

They're just trying to make it look like an F87.


Have reverence for the past, but move on from it.

I'm no automotive designer, but the original design is way too busy. The centre intake is way too angled and the grille is huge. Still prefer the original, but did a super quick photoshop for the hell of it

Carscoops: Designer Fixes The Styling Of His BMW M2 With Nothing But Duct Tape

Must admit, rear looks miles better with wider taillights. I kind of dig what he did with the front bumper too. Reminiscent of the F87 styling, but that's not a bad thing IMO.

I prefer the OEM version 100x more. The aftermarket bumper makes the car look like a M240i

Agree. Also don't like the tail light mod. I don't care for any vehicle that has the lights going into the trunk. Probably a reason this guy is a former designer for major manufacturer and now works for an aftermarket company.

Love it! I’m not a huge fan of their G80/2 front end but this is pretty damn perfect.

I would definitely buy it if the rear tail light becomes a reality.
