BMW's marketing in general is odd for sure, with the G80/G82 it seems they're targeting younger demographics that can't afford these cars, not to mention that whole "ok boomer" thing with the iX...

Really can't wait for the professional driving reviews to come out though. I'm sure everyone's opinions will change once more if the G80/G82 continues to be another great drivers car in spite of the worrying specs.
