Looks might initially be polarising but it will be one heck of a performer I'm sure. For sure the weight will be the trendy thing to criticise on this release.
Everyone remember the F8X release and it was about the blasphemy of the Turbo M car  Yeah that realllllyyyy held back the F8X platform, I barely saw any around here  |
Comparing the displeasure about going from a V8 to a I6TT versus adding 400lb is ridiculous.
One is changing characteristics and can be argued with a lot of pros for both types of engine whereas the weight increase is a universal con, there's only disadvantages to adding weight.
But then again the audience BMW is targeting with the G8x is different from the prior iconic M cars.
