Ikester19 · 04-27-2021, 03:42 PM

The size and proportions look just right!! Hof kink looks good. Looks promising.

M2_CSL · 04-27-2021, 04:04 PM

Judging from the camo shots something tells me BMW are going to get this one right.

Looks good even in camo to me.

Looking good so far. Hopefully the weight and size are kept in check since the last one was a bit portly for its size.

❌non-M 6MT
❌DCT M

Not that we are surprised

I feel the competition has gotten a lot better and this will have to perform to sell. I wonder what will be the final output and will it have an LSD??

BMW m340i. 382hp
Toyota Supra 3.0 382hp
Nissan 400Z 400hp
Cadillac CT5 360hp
Audi S3/Golf R. 315hp
MB CLA35 AMG 302hp
Mustang GT 460hp
Tesla3 long range 360hp

The Hofmeister Kink is back!!! ✅

But the in the middle of nowhere hood line is still there ❌

I hope the kidneys will look good and they are not slightly upside-down....
Also I miss the double headlights which seem that will be ‘single’ headlights

Bimmer Jeff · 04-27-2021, 04:29 PM

I like it, specially if the base car will have 300HP!

AllaVodka · 04-27-2021, 05:07 PM

Gonna outsell the G8x

verheizer · 04-27-2021, 05:18 PM

Really hoping for something like a 230ti with 280ish hp and a limited slip diff.

Tii is soooo much better than this quasi m crap

Germanauto · 04-27-2021, 05:27 PM

It's shaping up to look pretty nice.

Please no.

Let the G8X be the badge whore's dream car.

I want the 2-series to remain as the enthusiast's choice. The more sales they get, the more they'll water down how it drives.

therealm3 · 04-27-2021, 05:36 PM

These new spy shots are really, really promising. Love the look of the m mirrors on the higher spec one. (Two tail pipes)

Jimjamz · 04-27-2021, 05:39 PM

Looking good on all fronts except the triangular front side intakes. Those have all the hallmarks of what will be a naf look on a beautifully proportioned car.

Thank goodness it has sensible kidneys. Really interested to hear the final specs!

Man, that would be cool. Kinda like the BRZ/FRS enthusiasts have been asking for since that car came out (minus much of the lightness, but hey its 2021, everything is fat.)

NickyC · 04-27-2021, 07:00 PM

Cool mirrors? Those remind me of the garbage they’ve stuck on the G8x abominations.

Same abomination

itsTwigs · 04-27-2021, 07:40 PM

That ugly shape can't be saved.

bobloblaw · 04-27-2021, 08:26 PM

Wow the leaks were legit. This thing's gonna look like it came out in 2009 lol. Which I'm sure is a positive for some people...it even has pre-LCI E90 taillights!

And to the people celebrating the smaller grilles, Scott29 said that the m2 will have different and taller grilles, though not as extreme as the G8x.
