G87 M2 Comp - it is huge!

[Tony B2]

I was at my BMW dealer this morning and one of the techs was moving a G87 M2 into the parking space next to me.

It does look much much more attractive in the metal than in pictures, for sure, but it looked absolutely huge next to my E92 M3. Never noticed the size in pictures/videos, but my M3 next to it looked like an original Mini, next to a current MINI.

I believe it is on the same platform as the M4, so that is going to be the deciding/limiting factor, but all the same, if you want a small/wieldy M-car, where do you look?

A 1 or 2 gen old M8 must be about the same size?

They definitely are big now that they share the same platform as the G80/82 M3/M4 as you say. I think the current M4 looks massive too, and I can't say that I'm a massive fan of it's 1800kg weight either.

This is why and also why it weighs so much. I hated them initially however there is one that parks near me at the station car park ... growing on me. Think certain colours look better than others.

To put it into perspective, my 2015 F13 M6 coupe is 1,850kgs and probably about the same size as the new M4.

And a 2005-2010 M6 coupe with the whopping 5.0-litre V10 was about 1700kgs - so about the same weight as the new M2 lol
