Throwing a bone to a dog attitude will not reclaim lost customers; showcase of passion and dedication is what the brand needs. BMW has become a follower instead of a segment leader in performance and technology, with model portfolio clearly benchmarking that of AMG while lacking their mechanical substance. Where are halo models with latest hybrid technology, aerodynamics, carbon composite components and DCT? Enthusiasts will treat a follower brand as such.

I hope the M2 doesn't follow that path, although the spy shots seem to be partly showing otherwise. |

And the small add-on parts on both sides near the C-pillar / fuel cap: BMW is hiding whether the car still features a Hofmeister kink (very likely affirmative) and whether a BMW logo will be added, as happened on the X2 (possible, because AFAIK no F87 test mule ever featured camo at that spot). Brief, we are required to use our imagination, trying to "think away" those fake add-on parts. From 07:16 onwards:

As far as I'm concerned, BMW has very little competition when it comes to the G8x M2/3/4 when you look at what's out there (at this price range).

I'm betting G87 will have S58, adaptive, CF roof, and improved interior. And it will outperform F87 in every way...just like G82 outperforms F82. If not, why on earth would anyone trade up?
Looks are a different deal, and some won't like increased size (I'm betting roughly E92 size). For me, the G87 may be a potentially perfect replacement for my current M3. If the c/cs version is good enough, I may let my F87 go too. |

Yeah it does look softer than the F87. The front is less aggressive and the line running across the side of the car is higher than I'd like it to be, traditionally it ran lower in line with the door handles which IMO looked sportier.
