Dang. So quick, great dynamics. You can gripe about the aesthetics but it's an awesome package, and if this thing dropped out of the sky 10 years ago we would all be losing our minds at the performance. Great middle child between the four banger and full tilt M cars.

The point is that it's been very easily dismissed (almost universally on this site) due to the aesthetics, but it's a stellar performer. |

My point was more towards your comment about a car like this being released 10-years ago, saying we would have lost our minds, my response was that indeed a car did come out like this ten years ago and we did all lose our minds, the original 335i. 4.8 seconds to 60 in 2006 was a huge deal, just like sub 4-second cars are now. The M440i has impressive numbers, but this is nothing new, BMW has been putting out impressive numbers for years, case in point, the 335i. Even today, the numbers are still impressive and ahead of the current 3/4 30i. |

I seen car and driver reviewed the M440i xdrive at 3.8 0-60 also. It'll be interesting to see the M3/4 competition and M3/4 competition xdrives performance specs.

I saw it at the dealer yesterday. Great looking car. Now the grill - I stared at it. And stared at it. Looked at the M5 next to it with the "traditional" grill (whatever that means) and loved the M5 and .... could not decide if I liked this grill or not. The car was black so the grill didn't stand out as much but still... could not decide. But I'm not a buyer anyways so it's moot 🤣

The whole 10 year example doesn't make sense when you can get the previous generation 440i for less, with better styling, and around the same capability when it comes to modifying. Bmw isn't exactly giving us anything groundbreaking here. |

stage 1 flash tuned S58s in X3M SUVs bone stock with ethanol are running 3.0s 0-60s and that car is hundreds of pounds more than the G8x. I feel like when we get driving reviews, the performance will not be disappointing. |

Pretty sure this B58 is rated 382 horses from the factory, which is like 50 horses more mfg advertised for the prior year generation at 335. I know 2020 supra and 2021 had this exact change and 2020 owners were not happy at all... I agree with this not being groundbreaking, but I would still call this an improvement / evolution over the prior cars. |

I disagree with this, some people have "grille derangement syndrome" and are borderline delusional and think this will be doing like 8 minute Nring runs...I posted a poll and I think two F80 owners voted that they think a g80 will be slower than a F80.
There is definitely bias and fwiw, I also hate the grille but there is no damn way BMW will make cars perform worse generation to generation |
