G87 M2

I figured an official thread might as well be started. Sixteen months until SOP begins, allegedly December 2022.

New spy photos attached below. It appears that the recently leaked front bumper cover may be legit.

It appears so. A very lackluster design team at BMW these days. Oh well, at least it will not have the beaver teeth. Grateful for that!

Right… it has potential. The new M240 did not see a significant price increase. The same is currently expected for the G87. Fingers crossed…

Latest round of spy photos. No clue what is up with that X vehicle following it (kidneys).

Hopefully both the 2 and SUV indicate they are giving up on the vertical kidneys…

I think they are going back to the Bangle-era idea of trying to give each series a unique look/identitiy. So its possible the 2 gets to retain normal kidneys while the 4 series gets the buck teeth... and the 7 series becomes one giant grille

The X in the background is a current gen X5 - looks like an X5M LCI test car.

I always have trouble differentiating the front of G01 X3 from G05 X5. That is about the change with the X3 LCI.
