What are your thoughts about why BMW M is going in this direction?

Because the BMW boss was quoted on record saying he doesn't care about heritage/classic designs and is determined to move away from them. That resulted in everything you are seeing today, even the performance parts.
Change can be good, change doesn't have to mean unattractive or brash, change doesn't have to mean abandoning designs worked up in the past 40 years.
But alas, this is what happened. They can't seem to design a new attractive car while doing a evolution of design cues.
There seems to be an odd logic in some people that, when a new iteration comes out, the old one immediately looks "dated".
I wonder if this is because they lack the ability to judge the design individually without considering the "new" factor.
If the the F8x and G8x exterior design came out the same day which would they choose?
