In-person impression
Saw it in person yesterday at Advantage BMW in Houston. In summary, the overall design works. The grille is what it is. However, the carbon inlets are set way back from the front edge, the black trim along the bottom edges, and the hood intentions all work together when in person. From the front quarter, the lines along the bottom from front to back are really cool. The front wheel arches protrude more than I thought, as is apparent in the curve back into the body panel between the arch and the door seam.
The interior is really nice as well. I’m in an X3M Comp now and the G80 M3 Comp seats (not CF) we surprisingly comfortable and snug by comparison. As much as I’d like the CF seats, I’m going to get the base seats as their adjustability is very good.
I’ll be specifying mine in Portimao Blue and full Silverstone leather. I’m waiting on the AWD model to trade my X3M Comp, so still a couple of years out.
