Is the M2 the true successor to the M3? Does anyone else think that?

G42/87 don't have the more contemporary kink found on the 4er/8er.

The SOP for the G42 is July/August 2021. I think it's time to drop the camo!

Sounds about right. And the full "leaks" will be a few days before the official reveal.

That’s great news.The earlier leaked pic of the G42 looked like the design has the traditional hofmeister kink.

I don't like the connected grilles, the tall roof line, and the high seating position. Those could be improved.

Agree about the seating position and roof line. Maybe just maybe the driver seat will point exactly at the 12 o'clock position on the new ones. I feel the rear end was kind of a 2 series weak spot but I'm not sure the tail lights we've seen in these pics is an improvement.

Who's hiring these designers?

Why does it look like a fat old gen BRZ in the front? Even has those diagonal lines from FRS FFS.
