Yes, where the moderator imposes only to discus the things we didn't rant about in a former forum because we annoy the real fan boys.

What happened lol? As long as you don't attack other members you are usually free to say whatever, like opinions on a car design.

I think it is hideous but will sell just the same

I like everything that doesn't involve the front end. The color is also amazing.

in fairness, this was in regard to the pricing/ordering thread posted here:

Love it!

VetteGuy · 08-17-2020, 04:31 PM

Ok, I gotta chime in... I really like this car. It’s a much more aggressive looking car now. It finally looks like a sports coupe, not a 3 series sedan with the back doors welded closed. The interior is solid, the engine is awesome.

That new Arctic Race Blue is very cool. Something different from black, white, gray, silver and dark blues which account for probably 90 percent of all cars on the road.

The only thing about the grill that bothers me are the shiny nuggets. An easy mod... black it out in the center and it looks like it should. Same with the M3 M4, they look even more aggressive.

And, at 69, I’m older than probably all but one or two of you, and have been around these cars longer. I appreciate the brand and their efforts to keep up with the times. Although I don't understand BMW or Porsche offering big ass SUVs. LOL

Overall the car is fine, its just the front kills it, I could settle with everything else.

Bud, looks like you're warming up to it lol. Don't even think of buying this one.

I never disliked the side profile or rear, I would prefer a proper kink but its not a deal breaker. The grills however, that's gonna be a hell no from me

The only beaver grill bimmer that gets a pass from me is the X7, I still hate the 7er with a passion. I'd buy a G20 over a G22 anyways. Only coupes I've been looking at recently is the S-Class Coupe.

I hear you but I can't imagine settling for this relatively expensive car. One settles for a used Focus, etc. One does not settle for a BMW. They screwed up and we should not settle for this poorly designed car.

Oh I agree, the G2X is definitely overpriced, I wouldn't buy the design at $70k. I'd take everything but the grills at half the price after depreciation. I never strongly disliked the side or rear. I don't like them, however they don't annoy me as much as the horrid front end, I just can't do the front and looking at it in my driveway every day.

Normally I would agree, however my lack of abilities to enter the G8X forums would go against that

You can mute the sound. Can't mute the visuals.

Can anyone answer this question?

The last shot was mirrored I believe

Edit: I take it back. There's a fuel cap on both the M440i badge side and xdrive badge. I have no idea

I can't believe I'm saying this, but definitely the music. My god, I need a memory wipe, pronto.

first comment says it all.

It's something I'm certainly looking forward to seeing in person.

R N M · 08-17-2020, 05:17 PM

Besides the headlights - there are zero BMW styling cues. Absolutely horrendous!

No, there's not. Look at the youtube video and pause @4:23.

Fuel cap is on the right side, driver's side is the left side. Left side has no fuel cap.
