You take a photo on a dealer lot a dreary day with a crappy camera and F32s will look just as uninspiring. Lol, check out the picture with the blue car, it’s terrible enough that the white car looks 50% wider than the blue...looks like an F32 next to an E36 size wise.

If you require a great camera and a perfectly sunny day to see the beauty, then how beautiful is it in the first place? All I can say is the photos and videos we've seen so far were professionally taken and touched up to make the car looking its very best. Seldom do cars actually end up looking better than what Marketing puts out. If anything, that amateur photo may be the most real pic we've seen so far. |

You do, however, require at the very least a camera that doesn't completely screw up the perspective of said photo. Having seen the G20 on photos and in real life, I can honestly say that it looks better when you see it in real life. |

I dunno man. I've owned nothing but BMWs for the last nearly 20 years and currently own an F82. I've tracked 'em, I've autocrossed 'em and daily drive 'em year round. I go to various BMW CCA events to support the marque. So, I definitely consider myself an enthusiast. And I'm very confident that I will NOT be buying a G82 solely because of the horrific (IMO) design.

Who ever created this watched a lot of Star Wars movies. Reminds me of Darth Vader. Can we have the old one, slightly extend the grills and more tech and carbons. Definitely not my next car, I may go to the other side "P" next time I shop for a car. Looks like Kia to me.

The G80 would have been aesthetically pleasing if the designers had followed the usual formula of taking the 3 Series and making subtle changes.

Dimensional Perspective
I'm going to reserve judgement until I see the car in person. Moving from a 2 dimensional perspective to a three dimensional one can make all the difference...

So far the LCI 7 Series is outselling the pre-LCI 2016-2019 model. There you have it...

The thing is, ugliness has already been tested with black wheels. There's nothing uglier than black wheels in my eyes yet they're massively popular. A couple of months time, they'll be wanting these ugly grills in their F80/F82's
I think it's time for an M8 and paint the wheels silver for me |

I'd really like something along the lines of those 759M wheels on that Oxide Gray M340i to be available on this car.

Absolutely agree, I will never understand that, it worsens the look of every car IMO. I really hope they will finally bring back a proper silver wheel option (unlike the current M2, M5, M8, X3M, X5M... well, actually every current M...).

I couldn't disagree more. The big grilles look like an after thought to me. I think it's one of the worst looking modern BMWs.

This is anecdotal to some extent, but my SA at BMW of Reading told me that 7 series sales over the last 10 or so years are in a downtrend.

People need to realize. W AWD and the amazing S58 engine (which is already out in the X3/X4 M variants). this car will be the most unstoppable, fun four door daily driver on the planet. I'm talking when properly tuned (E85, Downpipes, turbos) we will be seeing 3 second 0-60's and easily 1/4 miles in the 9's. I'm absolutely getting one. And yes I actually love the grilles I'm glad I'll have something that stands out.
