Scott had mentioned Official Photos ( actual car? ) July... but that might be delayed based on current situation... might delay production of G80 perhaps ?

What does this tell us about the philosophies of the two companies?

Also, MB are putting in DCTs, and BMW are taking them out.

For current generation cars, the F82 with M-DCT is still streets ahead of equivalent AMG from a driver engagement perspective, but I'm not sure I expect that to continue much longer (since next generation they will both be heavy GT cars). On the design and technology front, BMW are already behind imho.
It's a mixture of elements pedestrian safety is one of those. The penultimate being production costs and application and impact legislation.
Another overlooked but significant is that in a low end shunt the nose cone absorbs the impact without damaging the hood itself. Therefore for insurance purposes costs will Be lower for initial repairs.
Who had: functional?

Will BMW really build this car with the bottom covered in plastic trim? Also, not a fan of the USB charger diffuser. Otherwise I like this view.

This looks decent. I really like this car.

Big grill growing on me. The more I look at f80 the more dated it looks

Exactly! Every generation had its changes, but every of them had a „wow & nice" effect from the beginning, which until now is not the case at all with the leaks and renders I've seen so far...
For me to buy a car, it needs to have this wow effect from the first time I see it, not to grow on me in 1,2 years

And there never has been so much defending from BMW about their design decisions as it is now...maybe people wanted some difference, but not in that ugly way...

[COLOR="DarkGreen"]I had the Vtec sub 4WS that was the "top" model in the usa. I was not concerned with 4 wheel steering at the time and wanted cloth seats so I went Si.... loved that car, so fun and simple. I joke to this day i wished I had bought two and left one for simple maintenace in a garage... loved it. SO rarely see that generation anymore in NJ USA here. The other day on a hill pass I saw one... must have been the first in a year[/COLOR]
Man you're not kidding I had my 92 Si 4WS for a little over a decade. I thought that was going to be with me forever then my brother borrowed it and totaled it. I miss that car the 4WS sub 30 mph was a thing of beauty.

New design is not my cup of tea! Of course people will buy it and most likely enjoy it. Who else is going with C8 or C8 Z06 instead?
