Thanks for sharing!
I wonder what he means when he says it's a "much much quicker car". There's quicker Then much quicker And then much much quicker I hope the real tests prove that on the road & the track.

You just know BMW AG explicitly instructed both of them not discuss the front of the cars under any circumstances.

Now that it's on the front page...release the Kraken!
(And by Kraken I mean people threatening to move to Porsche).

You go from this by Biermann, an actual Motorsport engineer, to that meandering drivel above. Hair plug Flasch smh a sign of the times.

Folks threaten all the time. I'd be willing to bet it's a promise this time around.

Well, I think the one thing we can all agree on is that male pattern baldness is the greatest threat the world is currently facing.

Got an email from my local dealer saying they will have the HEA cars next month as they are in transit right now. So at least we'll be able to see the cars and judge them in person soon enough.
Still waiting on reviews...

They like to downplay this as it's happened before and people got over it. But they fail to realize the context and magnitude of prior complaints compare to this current one. No time in BMW M history has the change in core style AND philosophy been this severe and unwanted. Judging by who they're marketing this to, sales figures will only paint a small picture of what they've done. |

They wouldn't want someone to think their car is ugly at the Cars and Coffee where they're flexing their fixed back seats, PSC2 tires on BBS FI wheels and decals alluding to 'track toy', tow hooks and other stupidities. I hope these people move to Porsche, that is the natural habitat of hard parkers and 'look at the color of my seatbelts' people |

and new X3M does 3.3 guessing this will be right about 3.0 and shaving 25% off 0-60 time for any 2020s car, that's amazing. and the fact that the entry price will be in the low $70K range for a 0-60 3 second car is also amazing! numbers will probably be on par with the new corvette for similar prices when fully optioned, except M3 is 10X more practical. A small nose job and its a beautiful car. |

I'd much rather: (1) wait to hear independent reviewers say things like "the G8x drives better than the F8x despite its additional weight", "is faster in straight line and on the track/twisties", "steering feel & feedback is improved", "ZF8 is as good or almost as good as the DCT", "offers the driving experience of a proper M car", etc. (2) drive it myself and see how it fits my specific expectations and needs.
