It is bigger, rides better, handles better, with more safety, technology, and better overall fit and finish. When in Sport Plus, the ZF in my 330i shifts almost as fast as the DCT in my F80 and is more livable for everyday driving, so I'm not worried about the move to an automatic...
We will see once all of the professional reviews come in but on paper, the G8X has a lot going for it, despite the weight gain, so it seems silly to harp on the subjective grill and small rear brakes. But then again... I suppose these two excuses will be just like sound was for the F80, which didn't stop BMW from selling more of them than any M3 that came before.
Like I said, haters are going to hate!

I disagreed at least the F80 didn't have the big grille liked G80, the most important thing on the car is exterior appearance. Like many other members I would skip this generation not to mention you no longer can order the competition version with DCT and MT.
BMW made a big mistake by releasing the big grille on G8X family, why follow Audi and Lexus design? Where is the traditional twin kidneys grille we grew up with? I bet you're going to trade in the Bierman design for G80.
