Hopefully that's not what the next M2 will look like. The current gen is so much more aggressive looking

I was a bit skeptical of this article since the new 2 Series Gran Coupe is based off the FAAR platform (UKL) which would never be found on an M car. Some quick Google'n found this article which states an M2 GC (if built) would be based off the CLAR platform, same as the RWD version of the G87 which is more plausible. The CLAR platform is very promising for an M car, it's what the Z4 and Supra are based off of.

Way too early to look at renders for a car that is not hitting production until December 2022. Much can change between now and then. The insider mentioned that the G87 M2 will also have the grille but not as big as M3/M4.

No point in renders for a car that hasn't even been spied in camo yet.
That said, if the weight and size increase, styling becomes worse, and the suspension will likely remain or become even stiffer (based on recent M reviews), and for the non-MT owners the DCT will become a ZF8, I'm not seeing much reason to upgrade from the F87.

A manual S58 with Adaptive Suspension and I'm willing to blindly drop around 65k because it's so worth it for the whole package..
I lost the bet where I predicted it would be equipped with a B58, so this new revelation certainly help justify and push my desire to upgrade. |

one day, maybe this virus situation will be the inflection point, but one day maybe companies and countries learn that farming out manufacturing to "low-cost labor" locations is a bad idea. Maybe.

Interesting. Hints of the M2 Hommage front maybe at the wide extremes.
No way it's looking like that render though from Autobilde.
