The brand new G87 M2 configurator has gone dwell in a pair completely different nations, and since I’ve obtained extra time than cash, I made a decision to offer it a go and construct one out. The configurator for the UK may be discovered right here, and whereas pricing is probably going just a little bit off, it’s a great way to visualise how the automobile will likely be packaged.
Normal Tools, Engines, and Exterior Choices for the G87
Nothing a lot to say right here – no surprises. LED headlights and taillights are customary, which is sweet for the reason that authentic M2 didn’t get LED taillights. iDrive 8 comes freed from cost, too, with its huge curved show. M Drive Skilled, which incorporates 10-way adjustable traction management and a few neat driving analyzation instruments, is customary, too – which is a pleasant freebie, contemplating M3 and M4 house owners must pay for it if they need it on their construct.
There are not any engine decisions, simply the usual S58, however I did click on the field for handbook transmission. I had a troublesome time selecting a colour, however in the end settled on Zandvoort Blue as it’s presently distinctive to the M2, and I prefer it. A detailed second goes to Toronto Pink, because the “hero automobile” in all of the press photographs. It doesn’t look horrible in white, both.
There’s wheel choices, nevertheless it in the end boils all the way down to black wheels or no black wheels. I selected the Y-spoke, non-black ones as a result of I benefit from the distinction of an alloy wheel. I additionally opted for purple calipers, which I additionally assume add to the distinction of the automobile. Had I gone with Toronto Pink, I feel I’d construct it with black calipers (ought to they be an possibility).
2023 M2 Inside and Efficiency Choices
As a lot because the contrarian in me needed to spring for a Cognac inside, I simply couldn’t do it. Black is simply too basic, so I went with the Black Vernasca with “unique spotlight”. It provides M coloring to the edges and bolsters of the non-carbon seats and appears unbelievable. Since I didn’t add the “M Race Monitor Bundle” (provides carbon roof and bucket seats, amongst different goodies), that’s just about the place my construct ended. I did find yourself clicking the field for the “M2 Consolation Bundle”, although I get the sense that the majority of these options will likely be customary within the US.
MSRP comes out to a £65,905 which features a VAT of £10,497.50. Fortunately, the automobile will likely be a bit extra inexpensive within the US. How would you construct your M2?
