Like you, I am not betting on major changes to the front of the 4er nor M3/M4, necessarily. However, I think that if sales performance does not meet expectations, and they can definitively attribute such results to potential buyers being turned off by the new aesthetic, some type of revision is possible.
What makes you think front end changes are more likely with the G82 than G80? If it is an LCI how would bmw not change the front end of the G80? Also, if the front end change doesnt happen until G82 later, would they then simultaneously change the G80 to suit?

Finally, do we expect the G8X to carry manual transmission throughout its life?
