Also, is that Marina Bay Blue? Between this and the purple, the color selection is already better than the current gen!

I think it's MBB yes

So far so good! Love it, and LOVE the color.

Now, show us the front end.

Is that a power bump on an M240i?? Looks aggressive I'm liking what I'm seeing

therealm3 · 05-12-2021, 04:17 PM

Wow. This is very promising. I am eagerly awaiting the full reveal. An m240 with a 6mt might just do it for me. Though I'll wait to see the g87 to be certain.

I don't think M240 has had a manual option for several years. At least not in the uk

What happened to the door handles?...

They removed the iconic character line so they had to shift them downward

I am not a fan

Looks like they will be flush with the door similar to the i4.

Looks promising, love the purple.

Looks cleaner

Probably helps with arrow dynamics

doesn't help with opening a door though!

Hope they will not fall off as E39 ones.

The side profile of the G87 looks very similar to the F87 M2...

you can still buy a brand-new 6-speed M240i... in the US. It seems they discontinued the option in the UK awhile ago, maybe Europe too. Doesn't matter anyways, since the new one isn't getting it. F22 will be the last non-M car to have a manual option, at least it went out with a bang.

Rear is almost like a 1 Series Coupe in length

That looks like a great blue

I am liking this Blue

wunderbar911 · 05-12-2021, 07:29 PM

I've been wanting a m240i or M2 but holding out to see how the new one looks.
Is it me or does the car seems longer than I expected with the camo off?

The side view also seems too clean and not digging the door handles.
Hopefully it will look better in person

jmg · 05-12-2021, 08:42 PM

Cautiously optimistic on the M2!

KoenG · 05-13-2021, 12:06 AM

Love it! It brings back a lot of the original BMW DNA: longitudinal mounted 6 in line, RWD, long hood, short overhangs, perfect weight distribution, timeless design and I suspect a real joy to drive (fast)! Finally a real BMW again.

stefan · 05-13-2021, 12:25 AM

The purple is bringing back E36 vibes. Awesome. what's up with the front overhang? they are massive. xdrive?
