No amount of performance can fix this.  : |
Out of sight out of mind when the active grills close?
FWIW, I drive my X7 with what was once considered the big grille about 3 times more than the M3, and at a faster average speed (consistently on highways) where would I tend to collect more bugs with the M3. I still find myself needing to detail bugs off the M3 more often and in more spaces. It's not like my radiator is noticeably more contaminated (less there as well, but I have only had the X7 for 8 months). I suppose that it's more of a function of the aerodynamics, it's really only the mirrors that constantly get splattered in the X7.
Agreed that I still have to look at it, though... Luckily the M8 coupes are being discontinued due to slow sales resulting into some substantial discounts. I really didn't want to go that big, and was thinking about going to a 992 instead, but a lease deal on an M8 coupe or convertible wouldn't be too far off from what we saw with the M3CS.
