Wow. After comparing some of these sketches to actual photos of the G42, it’s now much easier for me to glean what (I think, anyway) the G87 will look like. If my mind’s eye is correct, it should be awesome!

Cool. I like the style of the rear-end.

AUSf22 · 07-07-2021, 07:31 AM

Hm! the sketches definitely give some insight to what the G87 M2 will look like.

Time will tell but it looks promising !

IB M · 07-07-2021, 08:11 AM

Looks great from all views and flows together front to back. Two thumbs up.

skiparock · 07-07-2021, 08:20 AM

Backend is 100% with a quad exhaust

SexyRoger · 07-07-2021, 09:09 AM

power dome.

SFBavarianArea · 07-07-2021, 09:31 AM

I wanna see some clay model pics

EMB-89 · 07-07-2021, 09:48 AM

Really like the taillights on the orange and yellow sketches. They should have gone with one of those...

..Rush.. · 07-07-2021, 09:52 AM

Why do car rendering sketches always draw these cars with hot rod sized wheels and tires? Not only BMW, but other brands as well.

Because it looks outrageous

Germanauto · 07-07-2021, 12:19 PM

I feel like the M2 will be a home run. Should clean up the weird quirks of the M240.

werdn · 07-07-2021, 12:29 PM

Lol the rear end looks so much better in the sketches. Hopefully will be the same in person too.

JustChris · 07-07-2021, 02:24 PM

Those sketches look awesome. I really REALLY hope BMW get this one right with a proportional front grill.

///M TOWN · 07-08-2021, 03:41 AM

It's unfortunate a 2nd Generation 2er Convertible will never see the light of day

For the drama dawwwwwling.

CP911 · 07-08-2021, 10:49 AM

I know everyone is happy that they new 2er didn't get enormous grilles, but am I the only on who thinks that the new grille design is a bit weak and underwhelming? The general shape is too much like a Z4 or F80 grille i.e. it's wider than it is tall.

I'm looking at the sketches above and can't help but wonder why they didn't go with the grille design from the silver car. Those grilles are perfectly sized and shaped for the modern BMW era we are in.

Maybe they are saving this slightly more aggressive design for the M2?
