Very true (and sad). Everything BMW makes except for the 2-series is dead to me pretty much from a driver's standpoint, especially the 5-series. And even this new generation of 2er has me worried.

The headlights and taillights are not looking promising and those two elements alone can make or break the overall look of a car IMO.
Rest of the car looks okay but not anything to write home about at this stage. I'm getting worried! |

The car should look awesome with a powerdome and some proper M pumped steroidal fenders...1M front fenders matched with M2 rear fenders would be perfect in my book
Teamed with an S58 + close ratio 6MT + RWD = Motoring nirvana |

Things I like:
- less bulbous looking like prior 2er - no big grille - pronounced fenders Things I dislike: - looks big and heavy

If the car has those combos, and is priced at $60k ish, it really stands out and kind of stands by itself. Really looking forward to it actually.

It seems to be some sort of ritual at bmw that the cars must grow 10 inches every generation for some unknown reason. New M4 is now the size of an M6 and so the M2 will now be the size of the old F82.

BMW is catering to a much larger population of consumers that want bigger and more 'practical.' The enormous G80/82 front grilles are what 2 billion people in China like. . . similar examples in design decision abound. It seems BMW is at least smart enough to recognize the basis of success behind the F87 and do not appear to be fucking it up with the G87 . . . they still have time. ///AVM |

Have a first live look at the G42 2 Series Coupe performing on the Nurburgring.

I figured that was coming Don't care about the 2-series on track, as I already own a 3500 pound tank in the F87 M2C . . . and quite certain the G model ain't gonna shed any weight over the F series. If I were a tracker, I could do a lot better. That said, thank you for sharing. The G42 looks pretty damn good for a base 2-series. So, I'll rinse and repeat. . . looking forward to G87 M2C. I think it will be a great encore to the F87 M2C. ///AVM P.S. is the G42 running the B58 that is in the Supra? Last edited by ///AVM; 09-16-2020 at 06:29 PM.. |

I hope BMW recognizes this and keeps this next generation driver-focused like the current model, because frankly it's the only vehicle remaining in their entire portfolio that maintains the philosophy of the E-chassis models.

Spot on! The M2C offers exactly what anyone needs to enjoy an enthusiastic driving experience. It is now up to BMW to take the F87 M2C to the next level with the G87 . . . I am confident they will. Until then, the M2C is a great ride. ///AVM |
