It looks good but that grill....is not so original. Kind of shame.

What's up with the first photos. Horrible.

The press release says the mesh grille will be available in either Cerium Grey (as pictured) or gloss black - does that mean black mesh with black outline or black mesh with Cerium Grey outline? The latter would be perfect 👌

I bet in all but good conditions it keeps up with F80 0-60, especially less than optimal conditions.

Sad the X3 and X4 don't have all these interior changes. Makes them look dated now and they are brand new. Makes me think twice about X3M I was considering.

Don't give up yet on the upcoming X3M, as I was very fortunate to have spent 3 days this week with the lead BMW M engineer who developed the upcoming X3M/X4M. There is an other press date scheduled in 2 weeks for the X3M/X4M, and confirmed of an all new engine (also destined for the G80) and MxDrive is carrying over from the M5 to X3M/X4M.

Same MxDrive will also be in the new G80 in 24 months.

S58 of course but the real take away if true if the M X Drive F80

C43 grille???

Grill is aids.
Tailpipes are cancer.

and the illuminated "M340i" door sills are the biggest crime any group of Germans has committed since the Holocaust.

Otherwise, I'm very optimistic about the performance.

if we go by how it is on the new z4, it looks like its either all cerium gray, or all gloss black

Probably May, or later. Unless you’re willing to pay full price at your dealership and get the first ones that arrive in late April.

Staszek · 10-03-2018, 05:05 PM

I just cant with the new rear lights BMW is going for, and the G20 is the worst of them.

It looks like a straight up rip off the Lexus's whole L design theme.

Cyanfall · 10-03-2018, 06:08 PM

7.3L/100km, this number would never achieved in real life
