People don't say opinions, they say what they think other peoples opinions are so they can get that like button smashed. I said how nice I thought it was on Reddit, it's been funny as the days progress and I keep saying the same comments, watching it go from being downvoted to oblivion to slowly upvoted to popular, as opinions change and people do too.
People don't think for themselves; they are told what to like and stick in that lane to be safe, they're fed algorithms in their echo chambers.
I am so so glad BMW doesn't listen to social media comments and I love this car is divisive! Imagine an M340i with a body kit; so boring. I still can barely ever tell an F80 M3 apart from a 5 series or m sport 3 series from a distance, no one is mistaking this car!

I'm on several other car forums of other brands and while there's still plenty that hate the look I would say more people like it than don't like it as it's definitely less controversial than something like the Civic Type R. It seems BMW fans online may be a little more resistant to change than the general populace. That said BMW fans would be more likely to purchase a BMW compared to the general populace but the reality is forum posters make up an extremely tiny portion of buyers for any vehicle. Regardless it's a big talking point and BMW has generated a lot of buzz with this revealing and manufacturers know that buzz good or bad is better than no buzz.
