We have known that was happening since the front bumper cover got leaked last July. We have also seen it camouflaged prototypes ever since.
I know but that render makes them look worse.

I hope the front bumper at least is closer to this.

Looks like the same color previewed on the 2002 Hommage vehicle.

If the G87 looked anything like it would be hard to resist sans M striped mirrors.

It is the color from the 2002 Hommage years ago. I would be inclined to order it and forgo individual paint.

Edit: Maybe not regarding ordering Zandvoort. I want loud…

I may be alone on this one, but I prefer the triangle intakes on the G42 over the rectangle of the G87.

It is… I was working on a pics and a response. You beat me to it.

+1 re if the G87 looked like the Turbo Hommage.

I just hope for fewer lines and angles on both bumpers from the M240i.

For the rear diffuser I doubt it. The G80/82 rear diffuser is comically busy.

That color is way to baby blue for me.
