What I mean by that is M specific engines found on no other platform, less "bling" than competitors, but more performance, under-styled looks (at least by comparison) And most of all more soul, (analogue Tach, no pipped in exhaust noise, better connected steering).

So if the M2 was basically the last of all that, it really would be here during the last peak BMW happened recently.

I think I imagined a lot of their modern line as still being 10 years away, soon you will be able to see "through" the car via dash screen and forward mounted cameras, like brand new jets.

And while that is cool and all, I kind of like hydraulic steering so my taste in cars, (like taste in music) is going backwards in time.

I happen to love my M2C, but I think the car industry peaked late 2000's, which is long before the F87 ever came out. Regardless though, this is will be different for everyone.

I personally think it's kind of silly to rule out one of the last (if not the last) pure ICE M available because it has a curved screen. I'd tell an E9x M3 owner (I own one too) who would not want to give the F87 a try because you couldn't get iDrive delete that they're really missing out on a great car.

I have absolutely 0 reason to believe that the G87 will NOT be a special car. Will it be perfect? No. But neither are my 4 M's spanning 20+ years.
