If the G87 M2 has no option of DCT anymore

What would you choose then

ZF8 automatic or Manual

If it has a pig snout I am out.

[Advevo]

Yes me too

For me if zf or manual is the choice i go for manual for sure.

The downshifts on track with late braking with zf are sluggish

You are correct! that was not the G42 leaked before

I haven't driven a ZF hard on track so difficult to judge (driven the new Z4 on track but not hard). That said, the idea of having an M car with a 'standard' automatic just doesn't sit well with me. I think I would have to test drive first but I can see myself getting a manual next time around.

My M235i with the ZF8 was great for everyday driving. It even felt fast and tight. However, in the twisties it wasn't smart enough and manual shifting was sluggish. The software does make a difference to a point.

Agreed with this. I would be terribly afraid of getting a ZF automatic without a test drive. Need a DCT or PDK as I enjoy the sportier shifts.

Orbit Grey.

It's the official BMW OEM wheel paint color of the 763M wheels on the M3 CS and the M4 CS. Charcoal in the dark. Gunmetal in the sun (with metallic particles) and a subtle grey/blue hue.





On an M4 CS:

By the looks of the pictures, yours has a hint of gloss correct? I prefer a gloss finish over the satin look.

Not matt. Shiny but not as glossy as gloss black on the M2 CS.

Just curious did you do any suspension mods?

100% stock suspension.

There was less wheel gap on my former M2 with exactly the same wheels and tires. Likely my M2C needs more mileage. See here:

I really like the design of the 763m wheels, but they always look so undersized to me . . . are they smaller (e.g., diameter) than the 788 wheels, or is just visual perception on my part?

437, 788 and 763M are all the same size and offset

19x9 +29 Front
19x10 +40 Rear

763M does have a 20inch for the M3 and M4 CS factory fitted wheels.
20x10 +40 Rear

Thank you Aus

Well then, no doubt about it . . . it's just my visual perception that the 763m wheels look undersized.

I do, however, like the design of the 763m wheels.

Thank you again

The color looks incredible on these wheels. I may need to have mine repainted. As reported many times before, the weight savings with the 763Ms over the 788s is substantial and immediately noticeable. The fact that cleaning times is cut by 75% is just frosting.

The new design team at BMW do seem to be taking inspiration from animals for the latest models.

Well, again, if that's the 2-series, it is a pretty nice base model.

The G87 M2 should be menaced up pretty nicely, including a beast of an S58 engine.

G87 M2C, M2CS and maybe even CSL will be even better.

Taking build orders before you know it. . . just enough time for me to wear out the tires on my F87 M2C and turn the beast in for the next iteration.

I can't get past the lack of angel eyes...they are synonymous with BMW for me. I don't understand eliminating them. Along with the kidney grilles, they are the key design element of the front that differentiates a BMW from every other brand. Without them it becomes "just another car".
