I think people on this forum are counting out the G87 way too fast
1) I never ever judge a car by amateur or even magazine photshops. I followed the F87 since before this subgroup even existed and not one looked as good as end product
2) I don't see much of a point in comparing that car with the G80/2. Sure the weight is not ideal, but has anyone driven one? I don't judge a car purely by specs. I don't care about lap times and 3s acceleration, nor do I care that people complained about the F87 not being that much lighter than F82 (or did we forget that all of a sudden)

Please do understand I love the F87, and might still pull the trigger on a used one later. I just think that if the G87 ends up being the very last manual 6MT car M ever makes, it certainly deserves a chance.
Placed an order for a M2 Comp to replace my 2017 M2...probably the last DCT was one reason.
