Thank you Erind
So, in person, does the nearly 2 tons of car dwindle down to nearly 1.5 tons? Just curious because the 'spy' track videos make it look like the G80/G82 have to pay an extra axle toll. ///AVM |

I think it's just a matter of days before somebody leaks full pictures of the new M3/M4 from that closed event that they are having with the preview of that car. |

Really hoping someone like iND develops a "performance" grille in a honeycomb type pattern

Thanks for sharing OP!
As I've said before, I'm a buyer of this platform based on performance metrics alone. The fact that a fellow F82 owner has seen and liked it is a very good sign. One of my favorite things about being an M car owner is how people react to it's aggressive look/stance. If that's been amplified, I'm sooooo down!

"but after seeing it I changed my mind."
I interpret this as: it's still ugly but not to the point of being a deal-breaker.

I don't see what's so impressive about the rear end, it looks like a M340i with a M Performance diffuser..

I'm with you. I mean that in the beginning, I was totally shocked, and didn't like the grille at all. Now the more I can look at the photos with less camo, the more I like it. Especially compared to the new M5, too much "normal" for my tastes, and it's what I've always hated about my M140....which is totally understated and no one can recognize it, unless you know the model and you are aware of the little changes of the 40i compared to the common M sport cars. So, I think that it's not the most beautiful front in the world for sure, but surely, everyone will recongnize it as an M car. No question about it. I agree with you also for the general looking. To me it'll be a really hardcore sedan, and my choice will probably be between the Donington Grey or an Individual red color if I'll want it really showy. |

Except once you put a U.S. license plate on it, it looks even worse. BMW definitely designed the car with the Euro plate in mind. I am hoping with an offset US plate that might help draw your eyes away from the massive grille

Thanks for sharing your observations. It's not info that will change anyone's mind, but it's a useful reminder that we should see the thing in person before making a final judgment.
I went to the dealership after they got their first X7's because I thought surely it can't be as bad as the pics. When I got there it was even worse because in three dimensions the size of the thing just assaults you...it's not just big and tall but it makes the whole nose just jut out at you. I'm not optimistic but I do want to give the G80 a fair chance to change my mind. BMW should unveil the fucking thing already. I know how corporate machines and timelines work, but they should realize that they have to rush it a bit because journalistic and forum opinions are killing them right now. If we can all see it, there will be people like erind that will change their minds and lessen the problem. The others will still hate it, but they already hate it now so there's no loss. |

I can only recommend to watch the below video fully (not only X6 related things)...it shows the issues very well, and it is shocking for some things... Overstyling and not having a flow in the design is an issue with all manufacterers currently and is not only happening with BMW, but they seem to lead the trend currently |

Or just don't put a front plate on at all.

The 1-2x a year ticket is worth it. I have been running without a front plate for 12 years and it's cost me $150 in NYC.
