2022 BMW 2-Series Coupe (G42) & 2023 BMW M2 (G87)

Now this is interesting. I don't know how I missed it, but is this right, 382hp for less than 50k? Granted it is the awd model, but I wouldn't think the rwd would be more. It does have a kind of weird front end too, but I may have to look into this more.

Man, BMW is very confusing! I've never really looked into them much, but from what I can tell it sounds like the price went up by about 10k for 2022, but maybe it has to do with the difference in the trims between the i240 and M2? For 2021 there are no red or orange cars left for sale. It also looks like they don't offer a cooled seat option for these either. This must be a BMW thing or something, but seems like a "luxury" car at this price point would offer this even if it were an extra cost option.

That's one thing I couldn't get on board with about the M2. I know on the M2C you could only get black interior with either blue or orange stitching. I'm almost positive it was the same way in the non-comp OG M2 as well as far as black interior only. Meanwhile on the 235i, 240i, etc. you could have a leather interior in Coral Red, Cognac, Oyster, etc.

Favorite quote from this one, "Would you say this car was designed in the dark?"

The config for the G42 is up...

The M240i gets the improved 382 hp B58, but being A/T and xDrive only, and nearly $49k before options, I just don't see the appeal. Does anyone else find this thing to be as dopey looking as I do?

I actually like the rear, it still has good proportions too. But that front just isn’t working

I had myself convinced months ago this would be my next Coupe. It is just too ugly for my tastes, can’t do it.

I literally stopped chewing my lunch, tilted my head, and said to myself "what the fuck have they done?"

w/M Perf parts. I like the wheels and steering wheel. The rest is meh. I don't know what they're thinking with the decals on the side and hood buldge...

I like it minus the taillights. So would this project now be considered the fraternal triplets ? ??? (Z4, Supra, 2 series coupe)

Too bad only the soft top looks good to me.
