Still a misleading comparison, which continues to cast a shadow for the sceptics.
BMW should have been more transparent with all of the technical info from the onset of the G8X release. Too little, too late. They now seem to be in catch up mode, which is usually not a good place to be.
See what they gave us for the F8X:
[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 1): The new M Servotronic.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 2): The Brake Systems.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 3): The new engine.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 4): Sound and Exhuast System.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 5): smartly light, rigid, precise.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 6): The new chassis.
BMW M3 and BMW M4 Inside (part 7): The Active M differential.[/COLOR] |
F8X makes you want to reward the hard work of talented automotive engineers.
The G8X directs you to KITH's ig profile to peruse sweat shop produced goods.

Fully agree. The F80 was a technical and engineering leap over the prior car and that was the marketing. You can argue if all of that engineering lost something in the process.
This go around we have a reworked engine that has been in an SUV for 2 years, grills, carbon seats, blue seats, a skittles bag of exterior colors.
Feels like the marketeers were in charge of this one and that is why the substance is not being shared.
I might sign up again because of AWD and wanting something I can drive year round with two little ones in the back.
