I know it's not the M2 but that is the overall similar rear design.

///M TOWN · 07-31-2021, 06:36 AM

It's not the final design

I never liked the old 2 series rear

But I absolutely love the M2's rear end

You definitely shouldn't give up hope just yet

My guess is it will be heavier. That's how the industry is going sadly.

Any ideas on starting price in the US?

Based on the difference between the g82 and f82 price that takes us to say 61550. Throw in some inflation and another two model year price increase and probably 62999 before destination letting them say it's under 65k.

Man he is spot on with his assessment. Lots of random creases that go nowhere. I'll still wait for the full m2 before I write off the new 2

That's been BMW's new design language though, creases that are random and lead to no where.

S58 with good output paired to xDrive and i'm going to pony up if it looks better than that front once released.

Avaley · 08-27-2021, 02:53 PM

Will the G87 get adaptive dampening like the new M240i? I think it will.

Other than the front and the sides, I like this fine

Can't wait for the new model!

The new M240i xDrive apparently weighs in at whole 484lb (220kg) heavier than the outgoing M240i. It's wider and longer too - as it apparently uses the new 3-series as a basis.

I'm okay with the weight if it performs with the S58. Everyone said the same with the M3 and while its a pig it makes up for it by how it drives and the acceleration.

That's because you already have a GT4
