The front end and proportions are great but the rear is a bit awkward. Overall, I’d say top 10.

Try bringing this up on the G87 forum 😀 and I’m sure the responses will be different.

I don’t know that the G87 will ever be considered a great design. It’s a mess everywhere you look.

The G87 interior is beautiful and the engine’s great, but those two elements aren’t enough to offset the look of it.

If a car looks truly good, then it looks good right away. An ugly car doesn't start looking good as it gets older.

Sometimes a car can be so great that its homely looks gain a certain charm -- just like a great personality on a person. Sometimes you can acclimate to bad looks and learn to ignore certain traits...or at least try to.

I'm not interested in having some complicated metaphysical relationship with a car, so if it's ugly I will pass.

Well said.

Aside from my M2 Comp, I have a Z3 3.0 Coupe. It’s certainly a quirky design, but that said, I think its design merits greater admiration than the G87 (biased opinion of course).

I was referring to the OP’s main point about the F87…

And I don’t consider the G87’s interior beautiful with those screens 🤢

[MooMooM2]

To me the curved screen bothers me more than the outside of the car, that thing takes me out of the car so much. I can imagine being at the track with that huge imax screen in front of me, nope.

Its sad because the interior of the G80/82 was really really nice until they decided to go with the gigantic screen for all the Gs.

I would say top 5 Modern ///M cars.

I would add in no particular order.

F87 M2 (OG, C & CS)
E46 M3
E92 M3
E90 M3
F80 M3 (Not F82 M4)

Just my opinion...

Lol! That last paragraph is on point!

E24, E38 for example so not even going into the more popular E46 and E39.

But I would put the F87 as top 10 for sure and closer to the middle and it won't be a popular opinion on the comp forum (and I have one) but the OG is a better looking car, the front is way more classic BMW and will age better

I agree with everything you said, other than the OG being better looking

We own both and like them pretty much equally...

[Silverlining_m2]

I don't know if it's the BEST. But it's definitely the best looking f series bimmer in MY opinion. I do love mine.

G87 with bicolor rims

Exhaust sound

[nismosao]

I can accept everything on that car except the rear. It’s sooooo bad.

[MooMooM2]

The gray looks pretty good in those angles. I do like how the front flares out. I have some issues with it and will not be buying it for many reasons but glad some people are stoked on it. We are weeks away from some reviews and I bet they are going to be great.

Styling reminds me of those old Kaminari kits for the Z cars, back before CNC modelling.
