First one I’ve actually seen driving on the road. They look pretty good but wow they are big!

    I just can’t get over how the rear looks like a bomb went off inside the trunk and forced that whole surface to bulge out like that. Combined with the awful headlights I’m not sure what the designers were going for

      In the right color I think it looks badass. Black would be my go-to choice (it is for literally everything I own), but the red color looks amazing on this car as well. I’d love to see it in more colors than the few that are available on the website, and the BMW Individual website has a horrible selection of cars.

    I just hate how big and heavy cars are getting, even these “small” “sporty” cars. A car of this size should be light af.

    Bring back the 1M and focus on weight and size please.

    I don’t care about cars having 500 hp if they drive and feel like a pig.

      But most people who have driven them agree they don’t drive and feel like pigs. The M2 is quite nimble and hides its weight very well.

      If you want a smaller sporty car there are better options (Supra) but M cars nowadays are supposed to be a blend of a sport car and daily driver.

        I am sure it does—-they try to engineer the mass and weight of it and i am sure they succeed to some degree!! But having driven even lighter cars I get the feeling like Colin Chapman alluded to that lightness is the key to true handling

        F10 M5 is notorious for hiding its ridiculous weight. Tight U turns you need to kick out the rear end on to execute with speed, but any normal road condition is handled with the ease of a much lighter vehicle. Scary, really.

      I would buy a car that was designed to be as heavy as an Elise, with similar handling, yet still be usable, so maybe like a 2 door, smaller version of the F80 M3.

      The really stupid part is that the G87 and the G82 are basically the same weight. It’s something like 50 lbs difference, but the G82 is tuned for more power.

        That was the case with the F87 Comp as well. it’s actually heavier than the F82

      I weighed my 1M a few years ago and it was 3280 lbs—-now I feel like every car is 3800lbs :(

    I love the way it looks but it just looks terrible in that light blue color that they use in all the press photos. Looks very good in red or black. Should’ve had more color options tho…

      I just can’t stand how the top of the car has round smooth lines that look sleek, then the fenders and scoops are all square and lumpy. It’s like 2 people designed the car and met in the middle. It’s not a cohesive design.

      If I could get it in Isle of Man green I would go to the dealership right now and order one

    People hated the beaver grill on the g80’s so I have no idea how anyone can like the m2. They went the complete opposite and made the most ugly square looking front bar they could. The g80’s have grown on me now (I work at bmw so see them every day) but I’ll never ever like the m2. It’s confusing to look at.
