You and me will probably be disappointed once the length and weight are revealed of the next-generation M2.

My mind cannot gather enough words to express how ridiculously bad those taillights look like!

I just zoomed in on them! In tiny letters it says "if found, return to Honda."

The back end is quite ugly, hope they don't follow up with the leaked design. It looks like Toyota 86 on the back.

TrentMeister · 07-03-2020, 07:44 PM

I already like the front fender more than my car

///M TOWN · 07-03-2020, 07:45 PM

I want a M2 without a UGE bloody grill.

Are they drinking Tequila this time around?

Wow I had no idea the M4 will be as long as the E coupe.

They said the next M2 will have a power bump, so I'm assuming a size/weight bump as well. It's already too heavy as it is.

I guess I'm the only one that prefers those tail lights over the current ones. I've never been a big fan of the back of a 1 series or 2 series.

Wonder if just the M's will be built in Germany?

They need to stop messing around with all traditional BMW elements. It's ok to preserve some stuff...

the B58 M2 retains the "40i" name and the hybrid B58 M2 retains the current "45e" name...

while the the B58 O2 is bumped to "45i" and the new B58 O2 hybrid gets the "M50e" badge.

Hopefully if that's the way it goes, it comes across less "weird" IRL.

Agreed. I don't see how the G Series M2 will look as good as current generation M2.

No generation after the original looks the same. All generations after , are based always on the original. Look the E30 M3 . The original is where all began ! But im pretty sure the next 2 will be a great car too , and will follow the success of the original 2.

245 actually sounds nice to me. But it's funny how with say the E90, the top trim started as 330, then became 335, then in the F30 340, now M340. 1/2-series same deal.

I suppose the rationale is so people feel a pressure to get into the new model because the number designation at the refresh/redesign is higher.

One car I felt strongly about this was the E70 X5, particularly the M sport model. When it came time for its replacement I had no idea how BMW was going to top that design. Now the F15 and G05 look nice enough in higher trims, but in no way can they compete with the E70. It was the perfect amalgamation of BMW styling elements into an SUV form in my opinion. Still looks modern to me.

JustChris · 07-04-2020, 01:58 AM

Superb, bring it on. G87 likely next BMW for me. Mexico 🇲🇽

AUSf22 · 07-04-2020, 02:01 AM

Hmm! will have to wait for more spy spots, at the moment it doesn't seem quite as sleek as the current gen F22.
