    I had an E46 lovely car.
    I’m driving a 1M at the moment.
    A good friend of mine has an F87 we often swap cars
    When we go for a cruise.
    I like the staggered set up on G87 and wider stance.
    Don’t care 2 much about how it looks.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for sharing!
      The fact that the G87 shares a lot with the G8X M3/M4, I like a lot. Same as you, I am not sold on the looks yet. It's a retro modern look they are going for. Feels like it needs a CS or CSL treatment.

      Ok will do.
      I am still trying to figure out the recipe for these videos. Keep the feedback coming, it will help me with future videos.
      Some say they want shorter videos and some say longer. Maybe we can do another series where we deep dive into these cars and do a walkthrough.

    I’d stick with the F87 hands down. The current gen BMWs are tasteless in their designs. If you make the argument that the looks don’t matter, then just get 240i and mod the hell out of it. Cars are a form of jewelry to men. To say that design doesn’t matter is like saying that all you care is the size of the diamonds and who cares about the design. G82 vs. GT3/GTS allocation? The answer is absolutely obvious.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you for the feedback 🙌😃
      I agree with you. However the more and more I look at the G87, the more I am starting to like it. Partially maybe because I an order in for the G87 M2 😅😅😂
      I am hoping to drive the new M2 for a few more this and experience it first hand 😃🙌🙌

    I drove behind an OG M2 a few days ago, and I was drawn to that sexy booty; along with the burble sound. Such an amazing car. The new M2 is an abomination in terms of design IMO. The only car left from BMW that hasn’t been butchered is the M5.

    • @thedevthing

    F87 is the last true M car. As soon as they went auto only in the G87, that's not a M car anymore. Not to mention the vomit inducing styling of the G80 M3, G82 M4, and G87 M2. The entire G series lineup of current BMW's look bad. Case in point look at the 2020 X3M and compare it to the 2023 model. In just 3 years they messed up the styling so bad. The E and F series are the last good looking BMW's. I'd much rather take a Bangle era designed car over the garbage looking cars they have available today honestly.
    I am gonna hold on to my 2019 M2 Competition 6MT for as long as I can after seeing their current lineup. Oh and RIP physical AC controls on BMW's.

    • @thedevthing
      @thedevthing  ปีที่แล้ว

      Styling is something to get used to. Many may not get used to it at all.
      The G87 does come in a manual. They have not given up on that. In Germany you have to pay extra for the manual. In my books that’s ok. I would pay extra to get a manual G87 🙌😃🙏
