Can't say for that little, I had a bigger seat in an X3. But for the 1-er I have, this one fits great now that she's older (4):

https://www.target.com/p/diono-radia...4873&jb=489947

Fits in the buckets perfectly without scraping or pressing on them.

I also learned that to get a seat in the car, don't just push the passenger seat forward towards the dash and then go for it. Also move the driver's seat all the way back (lean the seat-back back) And then go through that side. In that door and then through the gap in the middle of the car. I hope that made sense....

Cannot wait for the G87, although it's going to be a long one. The side profile is giving me E92 vibes which is a good thing and the overall silhouette and size looks right too. Wouldn't mind a beefed up version of the B58 or the S58, with a stick shift.

This the M2 that's going to be made in Mexico? I can't picture owning a true M car that's not made in the motherland. This is really BMW's last hope tho for this new generation of recapturing those repulsed by the g8x platform

Don't mind it being built in Mexico just as long as the quality is maintained.

Agreed for me this is the last hope I have in buying another 'new' BMW otherwise my current M340i will be the last and I'll probably look at a clean used F87 M2 when the lease is up and save my pennies!

Yes, at the state-of-the-art plant of BMW San Luis Potosí in ///Mexico (see here and here).

You can picture owning "a true M car" made in Mexico. All it takes is an open mind.

No issues at all.

Buy better car seats!
Wow! Good to know! How about with two kids? I have two little ones, one in a rear facing and one front facing.
It should work just fine
front facing is no big deal
rear facing is trickier but we did it
just need to buy compact seats
We used Cybex rear facing
behind the passenger seat

Those wide fenders look promising...

420ps is too low...even the current A45 AMG has 421ps, with Nissan's 400Z, the new Civic type R and the new WRX STi all be coming in circa 400ps...

Needs 450ps

I disagree, current car has plenty of horsepower, what it really needs is a diet, not a power increase.

So the body lines of this thing is exactly what everyone wants, now we just wait for the official uncovering of the headlights/taillights. Let us pray.

Agree, whether it has 420hp or 450hp is irrelevant to me. More concerned about steering feel and gross weight, and that it is offered with a stick shift.

Ooooo an M2 with Active Cruise Control!
If this BMW doesn't suffer from having overly "unique" styling I might just buy one of these!

Anyone else notice the drivers side mirror is different than the passenger's? Both "M-Style" but different.

Road testing different designs?

Taillights will totally be inspired by the M Vision Concept. Upcoming LCI X3 taillights will be similar to them too.
