10 cm longer 51mm longer wheel base 52 mm wider front 31 mm wider rear We can guess the M2 sizes and weight. After the 1M Coupe it went backwards. Heavier and bigger and more weight. I had some good hopes but my current M2 will be my last fun car from BMW. I must say i have so much fun in my Yaris GR. It is short wheel base and 1280 kg it is a dream car to drive. I rather drive the GR then my 1600kg M2 at the moment. I don’t understand Bmw. If you want a big lump they already have the M3 and M4 and the M5 and M8. Even the M2 must grow again. I rather buy me new 1250kg toyota GR86 or Cayman GT4. Bmw has lost it for me! The bigger and heavier and fatter tires to compensate the weight is the wrong way around. |

If these prototypes would have had quad exhausts, I would have believed it if you told me this is the next M2. Will be curious to see how much more aggressive the G87 will be

Cool, I was wondering but hadn't looked up at what point it became at least as big or bigger than an earlier M3.
I swear the current Honda Accord is as bit as my late grandfather's Oldsmobiles. Can't wait to see the fenders on this car someday, LOL. |

Not in the US market. No 4-series outside of M is offered with the stick. Even EU market is only offering stick with the low-powered 20i engines. Manual is M only here in the states once the F22 phases out of production.

There's an article on BMWBlog that has a couple of those renders up for the new 2 coupe.
They somehow look off to me though. Not sure why, but they do. |

Cause the main body of the render is still based off a F22
The G42 has different proportions Just changing the bumper and headlights and side mirrors on a F22 body makes the car looks weird...I call it lazy photoshop rendering The actual G42 with little camo is already out, they should have use that body for the renders, not the F22. |

Actually surprised they would post these, pretty pointless at this stage with hi/res camo pics showing more detail.
