The end of that first vid gives a hint…it's MT. In the second vid, the TR G80 and Frankenstein90 appear and are related to the G87 of interest.

Maybe birthday related?

Can't complain about the M40 (B58), such an awesome engine.

In fact I had hoped the first version of the G87 M2 would have a tuned up version of the B58 (as did the N55 OG M2) but it was not to be

That's something else entirely.

[COLOR="Green"].. I agree, the " no manual competition " is a business means of transitioning to the end of MT incrementally year by year.[/COLOR]

And the g8x nob doesn't light up lol 😂

License plate reads 'THE M2" and the badge looks to be the M2 Competition badge, unless the word underneath isn't "competition"... very interesting indeed.

Design sketch, not a photo of the physical car.

Love how they are going a different direction - away from swooping, curvy lines to blocky and aggressive. Can't wait to see it!

The 2002 Hommage was really cool, but those off the shelf i3 taillights were absurd.

Dang I can't wait.

The way the bottom of the rear bumper sticks out - around the exhaust - on this and the recently released 2 series... is that a design thing or part of a new crash standard? I know the new cars don't have to look identical to the old cars, but I don't find it very BMW-like.

Karmic Man · 10-05-2021, 07:10 PM

Photos of this camouflaged G87 have been circulating for months

People need something new to be excited again….pull off some of the camouflage or give us more on the specs
