I think they typoed the date of that article. It says 2021 but clearly this was written around 2013, no?

Just one data point, but our X7 appears to be very solidly built with really nice materials.

Possible leaked pic ahead of the official 2 series release at Goodwood next Friday.

Nice flared arches for the standard 2 if it’s real.

It is the real deal. Supposedly the G87 M2 is going to be “AMAZING.” Non- M press embargo lifts July 6th @ 6pm EST. G87 M2 SOP = 12/2022. (SOP corrected ~ typo, ‘22 not ‘23)
