I love how they put a rash guard on the lower grill area.

I came from an F87C myself, so I understand your hesitation.
Your initial impression is spot on; it's bigger, more 'insulated', and maybe a little less engaging (less NVH through the seats) than the M2C.
But the G8x feels more sturdy and stable. I guess it's a matter of finding out what characteristics are more important for you.

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. I hope to get to enjoy something like that one day.
The front guard isn't just for the G8X cars...much as some may like to think. They had had them on the F8X cars too. I told the Germans I'd love to have one just for driving around LA! As for the front, I've really gotten over the grill part. My issue is the basin and range geography going on at the top of the grill/hood and particularly the side profile of the M4. This would be the first M car where I'd really be considering just the sedan for that reason.
