I just hope at some point they offer a nice carbon fiber Gurney flap for it. *fingers crossed*

At 2:13 it takes a dive near perfectly then proceeds to annihilate that corner..... the hype is very real.

This is clearly BMW leaking these right? To spot it the second it leaves the garage seems a little too obvious. I couldn't care less, I hope these keep coming!

The taillight is the same is the M240i; the "light bar" is red in the US and doubles as both a turn signal/brake light and in the rest of the world the separated narrow light bar is amber and functions only as the turn signals.

Did you watch the video?

Totally agree with you that the light bar may be 100% the same, but the turn signal isn't a light bar at all… which leaves open the possibility of a different light altogether. Probably some wishful thinking in there too.

Problem with that… the tail lights do not always get the LCI treatment. Hope I am wrong as I dislike the tail lights on the G42 and the G05 which has an LCI coming soon.

I saw the video and from what I deduce, a majority of the turn signal "light bar" is cropped out by camouflage but it's more or less the same taillight design as the G42.

And common sense will dictate that on a lower production vehicle like the M2, they have zero reason to add resources in revising the taillight, being that the M2 is merely a souped-up version of the 2 Series.

Some folks are also claiming that the headlight are unique to the G87 but there is no precedent for any standard M car having bespoke headlights (other the M5 CS yellow DRL), so knowing how BMW gets down, I have to see it to believe it.

In this case it's not BMW, there are tons of people out at the Nürburgring taking spy shots and videos of mules. The G87 is in its final stages of testing so we'll start see it more often now. You'll also slowly start to see the camo come off leading up to the reveal.

Most of the time LCI includes new tails

Like you mentioned the M5 CS had revised DRL'S and the F82 M4 CS/GTS had OLED taillights so there are a couple instances of lower production vehicles getting a special touch. BMW has also devoted more resources into lighting lately as a number of new models have a "shadowline" lighting option.

That being said, again this is just wishful thinking on my end.

Looks like they've gone with the staggered wheel setup ala G80/2. That's a shame.

Actually, there should be no carbon seats. But to me it looks like the carbon seats when exiting the garage?

That rear spoiler is very E36, I like it.

I feel like the G87 w/ 6MT is already a winner, and would make a great compliment to my G80 xDrive

Maybe we get to see a bit of camo removed during those tests.

Correct me if i am wrong but the second car driving into the M test center looks like it has very aggressive rear wheel arches which are more squarer at the start of the arch
