Spotted a G42 2 Series test vehicle

ProdigyM2 · 02-27-2021, 12:38 PM

Spotted the new 2 series last night driving around Los Angeles, I assume a m240 based on the dual exhaust tips. Excuse the blurry photo of the front but that's the best I could do while driving. I managed to get up next to the car in my M2 and the test car seemed to be slightly longer and a little bulkier than my car. It was also following a 2 series gran coupe in full camo wrap so I assume that was a facelift? Excited to see what the new M2 is going to look like once revealed.

Think round tips = smaller engine. Still fun to see.

Grille still looks to be reasonably proportioned.....

Our only hope left...

Did you try to race him.

"A little bulkier" than an M2 does not sound like a good thing. Certainly hope BMW get the new 2 series coupe right, as someone above said - it is our only hope!

I wouldn't say he was speeding per-say but he was definitely enjoying the nimble handling 😂

I was referring to it being a m240 rather than a 230i

Pretty sure not the M240i. Check out tips on existing newer models.
