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.
It is an unpopular opinion, but perfectly valid.
As an F87 owner, it’s just disappointment I felt. I couldn’t believe the first photos I saw of the G87. I remember sitting there thinking “well, shit…what now?”.
Equally, I dislike the G42 and still haven’t come round to it. Although I prefer the G42 over the G87.
The rear of an F87 is starting to date. The interior was dated even at launch. But the front and sides are just so good looking still. I showed my non-car girlfriend the two side-by-side (front angle). She said it looks like the F87 would “bully” the G87. Interesting comment, I thought.
I’ve got to go to Porsche to get a better look now, and once I go there, I know I’m not coming back to BMW. So a bit of a silly move from BMW to alienate the majority - particularly in the enthusiast market.
