Agreed… I had a Enterprise 2020 Q8 last May for ten days. I could not stand not having physical HVAC buttons/knobs.

This is a very good look at the car from the guys at evolve. I don’t like the fact he has nothing bad to say about the car at all. Like he is afraid to piss off BMW.

Man that interior is a MAJOR step up from the F87. WHY can’t these gauges be an option on the the G87. He seems to think the seats are a direct pull form the base M3.

M is really trying to close the gap with M performance and M. Seems like body work, engine and some suspension parts are the only real difference now.

I believe the launch date is either the 16th or the 18th. I am leaning towards the 18th. I was told in September, but I do not recall.

The front definitely looks better when you don't specify the non black vent trim. Like in the attachments. Looks way less busy.

Here are a couple of screen grabs from the evolve YouTube I thought looked good.

The fake exhaust tips are just stupid. So if you buy an M performance exhaust you have to get a new diffuser?

I have a sneaky suspicion that it will be the most popular color for the M240.


G42 Embargo expires on 11/16.
