Just went and test drove one, still not a huge fan of the blocky front. Just wondering if I’ll get over it, I’ve been saving for one and can almost justify the purchase.
My biggest takeaway from it is how exposed the front radiator is… is there a way to protect this from rocks? Seems like an expensive trip on the road if one hits it at speed.

I like the look of it, very aggressive and reminds me of old jdm cars. However, I’d never drive such a fat coupe lol
This will be a never for me. It’s not just the “ungainly” design (it is subjective I reckon) but it totally lacks BMW Design DNA. 50 years from now, a quick glance at any E generations, people can tell right away it’s a BMW. This one unfortunately has more Japanese fast and furious DNA than BMW. Not to mention…. The weight!
Problem is the new generation/buyers. They dont know/care about what BMW used to be and what it represented. Now its all about M logos and popcorn exhaust with circus interiors and fake vents.
The front and side of the M2 has grown on me. The rear is always worse than I remembered.
The M3 though, that thing is a complete loss.
It definitely looks better in person contrast to pics/vids. But I like my G80 waay more!
Just looked at both the M2 and M4 today. Some might call me delusional when I say that the M4’s external appearance has grown on me. I cannot say the same for the M2. I wanna like it. I’m not there.
Hasn’t grown on me one bit.
definitely, saw some on the streets now and immediately liked them, looking reeeally bulky
It looks like a chonky plastic toy….
Saw one recently and had the same thought as you about the front. It is wide open just asking for a rock to bust it open.
A solid NO from me. I have yet to embrace or even like it.
Im only now starting to warm up to the Pig-snout M3/M4… and only in Black at this time.
If BMW don’t up their game for the future car models, I’ll have to move to another brand.
The natural progression is Porsche
Ok Karen
I’m sure BMW will miss you.
the G8x series hasn’t grown on me at all. i traded out my f80 for an f87c and didn’t feel the g80 or 87 were worth having a car payment. I think the g87 has potential with a redesign of bumpers and tail lights, but i doubt bmw changes them for CS. plus theres the weight issue.
but to your question i think a company does make a mesh grill for that area .
G80 grew on me, and I bought one. M2 is a lost cause though. Seems like they were trying to copy GT2 and both of those cars aren’t that pretty.
Sadly it’s not grown on me at all, I think the 240 is better looking without all the square bits but it’s still no beauty. Even the m3, despite having driven and spanked one on a track and loved it, I still think its a terrible thing to have to look at. I can just get my head round it in black but with my own money I’d buy an F chassis. The m2 I cant find any redeeming factors though. If you like it though, that’s the important thing.
I love my g82 but the M2 is a hard no for me…it looks ok in black
Mazda/fiata taillights?
Same here. While I like the new 4 series lineup more than the old, the new 2 series is not for me.
It becomes tolerable in black.
Everytime I see a new M2, I kick myself for selling my 2019 M2C.
The M2 factory race cars are getting VERY high marks from competitive drivers.
