Doesn't look good. The amount of over-hang on the front reminds me of a FWD based platform vehicle. I'm guessing the grill will be hideous as well.

BigKutta · 02-25-2021, 11:16 AM

Yeah, my first thoughts were that it has a larger overhang than the F87, and the rear end seems even taller and rounder.

There's probably some extra paneling on the front bumper to hide its shape that would stick out more, so I wouldn't worry about the overhang too much. Hopefully they're not hiding a similar bumper to what's on the new M3/4 though.

Well, at least they haven't compromised the glorious look of the previous gen's muffler.

pz619 · 02-25-2021, 11:51 AM

I have grill anxiety.

The sides look flat like an Audi. Roof rails means no CS style roof. I'm trying not to be negative but it does look kinda big and chunky.

The least of our collective worries...

MmmmmM2 · 02-25-2021, 12:40 PM

While I'm not a big fan of these spy shots, I just wonder how much they are hiding with the camouflage? If it's not a lot, then I'm not too interested.

Yeah, I've seen that. But, the G20 has the more traditional grilles while the G22 has the new butterface. Same with the G80/2. I don't trust them until they debut it.

I guess we'll find out soon enough. I'm happy with my M2C so it would have to jump through some hoops to win me over

am3r1ka · 02-25-2021, 01:31 PM

Judging by centered the radar is compared to the m3&m4 don't this will be apart of the #GrillGate. Again I'll have to wait until the full debut.

Also looks like it's pushing into former 4 series sizing.

VisualEcho · 02-25-2021, 01:31 PM

Nice looking Remus-type exhaust tips.

I would say those fender flares and power dome are a pretty good start

baege · 03-01-2021, 07:05 AM

I think it's pretty clear it won't quite look like the stout aggressive muscular bulldogish hooligan than the f87 does...quite simply because it's a longer car

it's just like the e92 doesn't look as aggressive as the f87...a little length matters

robertm · 03-01-2021, 08:13 AM

Raise your hand if you are a current 2 series owner and you've thought "I would like a new gen 2-series but I sincerely hope it will be bigger and weighs more than the current model"

I'll never understand..

MMMBRAP · 03-01-2021, 08:21 AM

Might be an unpopular opinion but I'm moving over to Porsche after. I think our F87 M2/M2C/M2CS is the last proper M car BMW makes/made.

718 is next for me.

I am thinking along the same lines, unless the G87 convinces me otherwise. I'll always have my F87...

Steelguin · 03-01-2021, 10:22 AM

Best thing BMW could do for Porsche is come up with the horrible grill on the new cars.

.Tranceparent. · 03-01-2021, 10:23 AM

Inspired by the comment above me: Question to the folks who plan to keep the F87 for a long time.... does the prospect of owning an M car out of warranty worry you?
