Was Offered A G87 M2 Under Sticker! Would you do it?
Hey everyone!
Yesterday I was offered an incoming 2023 M2 6MT. Here are the details. $1k under sticker. April delivery. Brooklyn Grey - $650 Shadowline Package $300 Lighting Package - $600 Carbon Roof - $2600 Live Cockpit Pro w/Heads Up - $1100 50 Years Emblems - $200 $67,695 with discount I’m tempted to get back into a 2021 M2 Competition for $60k or a 911 S for a little more. Thoughts? Thanks! *Photo for reference*

Get it if you need the latest and “greatest”. For me I am not interested.
Pictures are ugly. I wonder what it looks like in real life?

It'll be an acquired taste for sure, it's the dimensions that are a deal killer for me...

I'm worried it just photographs poorly and it looks good in person lol. Or you know, it looks worse in person. I guess that's possible too. I posted this same thread on the G87 forum and everyone is in love with the car. I don't get it. A few people even said the G87 is better looking than the F87.

Since OP does not currently own an F87, I would go for it and buy the G87 if you like the way it looks. Undoubtedly it will be a stout performer even with the weight (see G8x for reference).
Owning an OG M2, I don't see the need to upgrade. It's not offensive looking, but it doesn't create any great desire in me and a few areas that look off/wrong (I agree with above it is an acquired taste). That said, I've heard from some non-F87 owning people that really like the look, so maybe F87 owners are in the minority. |

I dislike that car so much that there isn't a price I'd buy it at.
But hey, to each their own! If I'm honest though, I think unlike the F series cars, the G series M2 will be readily available under sticker, so it's no rush. If you want one, get the color/options you really want. |

If I didn't already have a M2, I'd do it. From an outsider's perspective, it certainly doesn't look very BMW but I don't think the car looks that bad, not as good as the F87, but not terrible either.
Those stick-on M Performance parts though...that's where I draw the line. |

I wouldn't even question it... better chassis / suspension and engine plus massive interior upgrade.

My dealer has a 2 person wait list, with no deposit, just a name. When I went to buy a new 2018 M2 in 2019 with Comps on the ground there was still a $2K addendum, so I said forget that and bought a used one. No way it's going to be the same for the G, unless they only make 12. Quote:
And better is a subjective term, not an objective term. It's yet to be revealed if the average M2 buyer feels like the G is better than the F under the similar driving circumstances. Everyone wants to quote numbers, but then forgets about weight, and what that does to the driving experience. I guess if you're buying the M2 because you don't want to admit that you really want a luxury car then sure, but IMO the average M2 buyer wants something beautiful, powerful, and livable, not a numbers car. |

Well, now it’s $2k under sticker lol.
I negotiated a little more. They have 2 orders currently for auto M2s and they believe if they sell this one quickly, they will be given another allocation to build one of those submitted builds. So they’d rather just discount it to move it fast. Kind of difficult to turn that down.

You are living dangerously since I thought there is only 1 BMW dealer in Vermont.
I wouldn't post the same info to the G87 forum, otherwise you mind find folks all over New England willing to driver to VT for a nice spec, $2K under MSRP. |

Oh, it's not in VT. Vermont dealers never have anything lol. It would be a bit of a trip.
