Reading through the press material, it seems like they invested very little in weight savings for the base and Competition variants of the G8X. I am wondering if they are keeping weight saving reserves for the CS and CSL variants.

Grilles aside, what a major letdown. The weight, styling, aura, tacky options, stats on paper...I am honestly upset that I followed the release this close for a year plus.
Nice job ruining a vehicle that was once the benchmark for decades, BMW. The E30, E36, E46, E92, and even F80 are rolling in their graves. |

Crippling the manual version, then putting in an 8AT with 4WD instead of DCT really tells you everything you need to know about modern BMW. They pay lip service to enthusiasts, but their actions have said otherwise for some time now.

But we know they can do it right, contrast these G8X ads to x5 and especially x7 launch ads which were dead on target, really well done and expressive to both target demo and aspirational cohorts. |

Having owned the last 3 generations of M3/4 Coupe, I really despise how every generation gets larger and heavier. E46 was kinda just right, IMO. Not a perfect car, and each gen is faster, but there is more to driving enjoyment than specs.
I like the value and utility aspects this car has always represented. I’ve always preordered like a year in advance, but held off on this one. I’m going to let this sink in for a while. It will probably grow on me, but first time I’ve been unenthusiastic.

Sorry, but I am a naysayer. I simply cannot buy a car that is that fugly in the front. I am glad that I ordered an M5 a few weeks back to replace my current M3, which looked great.

Nice to see that instead of a G80/G82 M3/M4 CS, GTS, or CSL model they have introduced the M3/M4 Deadpool Limited Edition in a range of colors as long as you like Red/Black... a la Starsky & Hutch's Red Ford Grand Torino with the white Nike swish.
Now we know where that Quad Stacked Centered Exhaust spyshot came from...M Performance Exhaust Option. Look closely at the driver's side kidney grill. Massive radar sensor on the bottom. Not exactly centered and symmetric. I do like the boy racer trunk spoiler since it is so low profile. Learn to say "My 3D-printed aluminum cylinder head is cracked. WTF??" Bonus: Free carbon fiber ball sack bolster between your legs in the bucket racing seats. Just what I needed. Joe Achille spends 5 minutes on it, especially the reaction of female M3/M4 drivers. Pretty sure Legos could have designed a much sleeker ///M car out of square bricks. Very appropriate that the G80 M3 video includes a chain saw. Cheers |

WHY there is a huge torque deficit between regular and competition models? Other competition cars have same torque numbers. wtf?
300 lb weight gain over similar RWD F80. Add another 200-250 lbs for AWD. WTF were those marketing videos on youtube? Only a short film with Clive Owen can save them now. Not mad, just Disappointed. I guess they'll have suckers buy the early versions then they'll bring LCI and special models to make more money and fix some of the shortcomings as they always do

I agree with some of the points you're saying but if you really think it's "basically" the same performance I think it's you smoking that good stuff...
