I drove by a local dealer yesterday to see if they had a G22 4 series since I haven’t seen the new 4 shape in real life yet. Sadly they had none.
Honestly there is not a single BMW that excites me even a little from looking at them. The 8 series including the M8 should be on top of a list of cars doing that but it just isn’t. It’s plain and boring looking. The front is the big let down as it was with the i8.
Actually the M5 does have some presence but not the 8.
Nothing like the old 8 series or the E60 M5 days when the cars just made me drool in the show rooms. I suspect the G8X will bring some of that back. And to be fair a visit to the Porsche dealer is pretty similar, only the GT cars styling evoke the right emotions from styling alone. The Taycan is the worst but the non GT 911s aren’t much better. Plain and boring stuff until you get behind the wheel...
