As March 2025 is scheduled as EOP (end of production) for the original G87 M2, expect no G87 M2 LCI delivered prior to Spring 2025. That's still four years from now.

I don't think the g87 is going to be terrible enough and the f87 m2/m2c rare enough to make f87 values mirror the 1M. So to me, unless you won't consider a MT g87, it makes sense to consider the g87 as a possible future purchase until we know more.

Personally I'm still not convinced by the headlights swoop design. Quote:
G42 2er front bumper: Try to imagine the pictures below without the sturdy/bulky plastic add-on camo. Also note the V-shaped LIDAR at the lower central part (LIght Detection And Ranging of Laser Imaging Detection And Ranging).

Correct. The surrounding plastic bumper will be meatier on the G87 M2, but the headlight unit itself will be the same, unfortunately.

Regardless, a sharper handling, better sounding, potentially last fully ICE BMW M (with a 6MT) is far more important to me. I say long live that car.

CAR magazine looks to be running a bit on and iM2 variant.
Not sure if this is click bait etc and not seen the article just yet.

If you want to rule out a car that is over 1 year from release before seeing it in person, yet alone driving it, you be my guest.

The iM2 in car magazine mentions a 1100 hp iM2 for their 50th bday. 0-60 in 2-2.5 secs. Did the ring in the same time as a porsche taycan turbo s. Im sure it will be really cheap!

I'd argue it's relevant to us M/T fans as well. BMW lowered the redline of the S58 relative to the S55, and i'd wager its because the engine is designed to be mated to a torque converter instead of DCT boxes. So, kinda a bummer for everyone so that BMW can use the ZF8. I'm sure the S58 is still a great engine regardless, this might fall under the realm of "nit picking" but ultimately, I like revs when it comes to sporty cars. |

Be honest, an s58 in a smaller and lighter car with a stick can look like a pile of Pooh, you'll buy it and smile

BMW M2 CS CFRP roof weave issues: "Garching, we have a problem" ? https://f87.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1765570 Doesn't matter to me anyways, as I'm going to certainly opt for a moonroof, which obviously relinquishes any carbon fiber top but just saying.. |

lemetier aleady confirmed in an earlier post that the G87 chassis is based on the Z4/Supra with an added section from the 8 series coupe. |
