Leaked: G42 2 Series Coupe in Black!

Auricom · 08-08-2020, 02:34 PM

Yikes at the deep headlight body cutouts for the inset headlamp units - makes a great ledge for snow accumulation.

Front inlets remind me of X2 M35i.

phantom7835 · 08-08-2020, 02:34 PM

Whew, makes feel immensely better about my F87 purchase. BMW has got a real issue with design these days.

BowzerF30 · 08-08-2020, 02:34 PM

Looks like the hood has some f80/f82 cues.. The rear bumper looks aggressive and on par with the g20 m sport, I'd expect the next gen m2 to bring back real exhaust tips.

If it grew by a few inches that would be fine, also keep a manual option and I'm interested.

I am so glad I bought the M2C now..

Lets not forget the 4 series still exists. This looks leagues better.

Ghostriderf80 · 08-08-2020, 02:35 PM

Reminds of a Toyota celica.

Khrushchev · 08-08-2020, 02:39 PM

Anyone else getting a Volkswagen Polo vibe from the back?

spuntyb · 08-08-2020, 02:40 PM

No thank you

It's BS, this guy confirms that larger grills are mechanically unnecessary, in this day and age, at 9:28

Big rear hips and a normal sized BMW kidney grille.Nice design for the regular 2 series.Looking forward to seeing some M2 spy pics.

///AVM · 08-08-2020, 02:42 PM

How is it BMW managed to keep the G80/G82 under 'wraps' for the past 1-2 years . . . and the new 2-series is already leaked un-camouflaged while they are still taking F87 M2C orders and the M2CS seems another five years away from hitting the U.S. roadways???

L e o · 08-08-2020, 02:44 PM

Back end still looks awful high/tall just like the new M235i coupe, hope it looks better in the flesh and fingers crossed things will be much improved for the forthcoming M2 !

Cheers - Leo

The good news is that it still has the Hofmeister kink!

Less security in ///Mexico maybe?

Edit - not being stereotypical, just saying cause its a newer factory.

stein_325i · 08-08-2020, 02:49 PM

Very weird design choice here to randomly cut/square off the lower intake, doesn't fit with the aggressive lines.

I agree it's not great viewing for a new F87 M2CS owner who has dropped £80k on a car

The timing could be better.

But remember this isn't the M2 that's 2022 away. This is the regular new 2er that is a 2021 release and due pretty soon TBF.

I just thought that because its a newer factory. Hopefully people won't try to use cancel culture on me

///AVM · 08-08-2020, 02:55 PM

This is just the base 2-series, which does not look terrible.

BMW is going open a can of 'whip-ass' on it for the G87 M2/M2CS.

Will start with S58 engine and, no doubt, some proper ///M performance and aesthetics tweaks we are all after.

Thescout13 · 08-08-2020, 03:02 PM

All I see is last generation GLA 45 AMG, and I don't like.

alphawawa · 08-08-2020, 03:05 PM

Those headlight cutouts make this look cheap as hell. Terrible look.

f22bub · 08-08-2020, 03:06 PM

That weird ass triangle shape in the front is awful but we know for sure that this won't be on the M2 since Ms have their lower intake shaped upside-down (compared to regular BMWs). I think the base looks good for the M2, even though I find the rearlights quite ugly - but guess what? I found the rearlights of the F22 ugly as hell too when it first came out and now I love everything about the 2! Also the grille seems to be concave which looks cool
