So.. initially having great reservations about the G80, with the car having looks that only a mother could love, I have recently started to have a change of heart.

I will confess to spending lock down dreaming and browsing the classifieds for a R34 V spec, but the prices are insane given the cars are almost 20 years old AND mostly molested. I don't see myself spending £50k on a tuned one that may pop. Thus it got me thinking: 'what else is out there with a straight six, twin turbo, four wheel drive, fast as f* and with a focus on driver engagement?'.

This is where I came back to square one so to speak. The G80 does indeed have the potential to appease us petrolheads - very few of us would turn down a R34 GT-R. Also looking at it in this context, one could always take the 'bag the face..' approach with that G80 grill; after all it wasn't as if the R34 was that much of a looker. Do you guys think BMW can pull it off, or do I have lock down madness?
