This site is completely dead, very little new info to discuss, seemingly very little excitement or buzz.

My dealer has a comp incoming in 5 weeks and they have open allocations for customers to take, but I have not seen Davit Grey or Tanzanite on a G80. Not a single pic of the of the standard wheels and zero driving impressions in English since Schmee who only drove a pre-production version.

Also with a new CF seat we do not have any road impressions of how they feel while driving, only impressions of sitting in a parked car.

Porsche flew GT3 cars to journalists in LA and will have full driving reviews before the launch with reviews incoming in the next 2 weeks months before allocations are open. Why BMW is holding back reviews when there are open allocations for a car that was launched 3 months ago, seems poorly planned.
1000% this.

Potential buyers are even bailing based on the only thing available, paper numbers and the one performance metric available, a disappointing match of the F8X 0-60 time...
Extremely poor campaign this far BMW.
