Nice hips G80
And the grille doesn’t look as upright/vertical, more contoured

Even the reveal will probably also be in poor lighting. Seems to be the case with the beaver grille cars.

Wild theory- BMW cut off all incentives for the Euro delivery program a few years back. Naturally, being cost ineffective, people stopped doing ED. Now BMW said since people aren't doing ED, they'll be axing the program. Is the same thing happening to the M3/M4? A few years from now they'd say the cars just arent selling like they did before & eventually they'll axe them in favor of EVs and SUVs?

Just rip the band-aid off already so we can vomit now and get it out of our systems.

I'll wait to see it in person before passing judgment, but I'm afraid the design is polarizing just to draw attention and not a genuine attempt at making an attractive car. |

There a few visual points of interest on the rear of the G80:
Update - after reviewing some of the high-resolution photos from the Press Release - 1) The spoiler is indeed the 'standard' size we expect. In the teaser photo, it is the side mirror that protrudes. 2) The rear diffuser is indeed gloss black & still speculated as above to be painted gloss black on the Competition 3) The exhaust tips have black surrounds/sleeves that engulf the tips. Does not appear to be an MPE at this stage. 4) The two points that protrude on the roof from either side of the shark fin antenna actually run across the roof and are 'sculpted' and very defined. This design appears on both the G80 & G82. Whether this was a result of aerodynamics testing is TBD.
