Production starts in July for the G42 based on the BMW future model thread.

Made the same thought; finally a "normal" sized Bmw coupé, and looks great. I hope they will not ruin everything with those horrible lights of the leaked photos.

Yeah the lights and grill are going to be the huge question marks here. Gotta pray the 4 series designers were on vacation for this one.

Hate to break it to everyone, but the headlights and taillights are pretty much baked in this close to SOP. Also, M cars never get different headlights or taillights, they just have revised bumpers. The G87 M2 will have the same style of lights as all G42's. Sure, they might have an adaptive option, but that's just the inner components, the rest of the lighting assembly will have the same size and shape.

Don't think any of this is news.

That being said, the lighting doesn't look bad and most importantly the grills are normal. Throw in some aggressive bumpers and a wide rear end and we could have a winner.

Overall silhouette of the vehicle looks good. It's going to come down to the details on the panels - BMW is a hit/miss in regards to this.

Front & rear overhang look to have grown, like to know if wheelbase has changed.

The headlight is borderline acceptable and the taillight is hideous. In addition, the body is tall for anything coupe.

The G42 does not resemble much of the M3 coupe of the past, but in fact inherits the most if not all of the characters design wise of the E87/F20 hatchback, its ancestor.

It's hopeless if you're looking for the old 3 series/M3 coupe successor kind of car.

I don't expect it got smaller than the F2X platform. The F2x some might view as twitchier, which made it a lot of fun to drive frankly having owned an E9X, F2x and F3x chassis. (Shorter than the E46 even).

The body is tall? Looks pretty low seeing it in the videos standing next to other cars.

Can't wait for the camo to drop. The silhouette and overall proportions look really good.

That's an aggressive looking hood for a 2 series. Now I've got to see what the G87's hood will look.
