Leave it to BMW to make box flares look like something a highschool body shop student did over the weekend

Cough, Cough, remember the E30 M3? Boy racer looks and the S14 being a dreadful thing to use as a daily within metropolitan areas.

The G87 is better visually in person, I know as I’ve seen it. Nevertheless, it will not win any beauty contest.

Brief update, still no G87 allocations for the U.S. market. The global launch is in April.

In the third picture, the additional “aero” trim on the front wheel well is fascinating.

The M Performance accessories for the G87 are geared towards a totally different demographic. It is strange to say the least.
