The styling seems increasingly Gundam.

This car is going to drive up prices of the current M2’s.

BMW, “It will grow on you.”

That thing down this side needs to go…

Our local center continues to state that the new M3/M4 sales are strong. I have yet to witness any sitting around to be collected by new owners. There are plenty of the previous gen (used) sitting on the lot in every variation.

Edit: BMW, this is simply too much. Enough already! See attached photo.

The “performance door lock indicators” definitely caught my eye in that carscoops piece. FFS.

"If we consider the G42 2er as indicative, expect yet another approx. 52 liter (approx. 13.74 US gallons) fuel tank capacity (same as F87 M2)."

It’s not bad if you keep your foot out of it. SO yeah it’s pretty bad in my case as well.

That's terrible. So if you keep your foot somewhat in it and buy gas at 20%, that's 0.8*13.74= 11 usable gallons -> about 200 miles. Maybe 250-260 if you are coasting and driving like a Prius.
