G87 M2 rendering with leaked front bumper

jfritz27 · 07-12-2021, 07:07 AM

This thing better have the coolest (temperature-wise) front brakes ever

Sushimaster · 07-12-2021, 07:27 AM

Atleast its not the beaver grill

thaalrasha · 07-12-2021, 08:39 AM

Pretty horrible front bumper... Even the base M style car is better. Also it just doesn't fit any M design nor the headlights ... I hope this is just a fake or after market thing.

Lmao - if this comes to market - BMW has truly lost its way.

Whelp, pretty pleased with myself for getting one of the last F87s instead of waiting for the new one.

Not sure how they managed to f*ck the M2 up as well.

F series generation hands down the best looking cars of late.

Hilarious how F series owners have to validate their purchase by convincing themself anything new is not worthy.

F series is safe, invisible and getting tired looking. Time to evolve, if you like "safe" designs so much, try Buick, Oldsmobile, etc

I'm an F80 owner and I like this design. It's an evolutionary change…

The G80 on the other hand I'm still struggling with. Although there is a matte black on black example down the street from me that has peaked my interest slightly.

Looks great IMO. Modern, but not too much....
Hope they make some type of 4-door variant.

Don Pauleone · 07-12-2021, 11:36 AM

I am really happy with what i got ✊✊✊💦

Too unsophisticated to be real, oh wait…

FrozenGT · 07-12-2021, 12:19 PM

Geez! Pray pray that new M2C does not look like this. I will keeping my MY20 M2C until BMW gets that heads back on straight-

I was trying to figure out where I saw the middle structure of that bumper before. I think it's inspired by the E36 M3 GT. It has the same vertical bars bracketing the middle.

Prospective bumper for comparison:

Please no...

Mintsopoulos · 07-12-2021, 01:55 PM

I honestly prefer the G8X front end over this.

NYAWE60 · 07-12-2021, 03:10 PM

It had so much potential. This is like purposely sabotaging a good product.

Who wants to drive around in any of those?

Lmaooooo

Thomas · 07-13-2021, 02:24 AM

I think the headlights in this render are too square. If you look up close on the bumper you will see a piece of bodywork that contradicts these square headlights. It looks like the inner part is more squinted.

edwinm3 · 07-13-2021, 02:36 AM

aftermarket G8X style bumper will fix this, matter of time lol

Yeah the top corners just don't look like they match. I'm not going to debate the validity of these photos but the top corners just don't look like they would fit this car from the angle of the photographs. It's a shame there wasn't some better angles as we will just have to wait.
