But when you realize how cheap it is inside you'll know why a Porsche is 300 pounds heavier.

Weird, my 2004 GT3 had 370hp and was just about 3000 lbs...probably should have never sold that car

They need to stop adding stupid sound-deadening and making modern cars BIGGER than past generations...if its a sports car, it shouldn't seat 4 comfortably...just buy the M5 then

Toronto Red is likely apparently.

I couldn't tell one way or another how the person from glendale who spotted the car feel about the G80.

Already done...but the M2 is blowing up too much...

NEED SUB 3000 lb 400hp car...why is this so hard??

Because of safety regulations & customer demand. Can't sell something that the government wont let you build & customers refuse to buy.

The hips where cancelled out by the hideous face under that apron!

Yeah, but that looks more orange to me in person. Wish they'd just use Imola or Melbourne.

Sexy (Nice hips), curvy and all, but hopefully it won't be a butter face...

I hate to be point this out but do you remember you were a kid and you'd hear your grandfather or father bitch and moan about something they loved becoming extinct? Companies have to adapt to what the public want and the public tend to be the younger generation... They are who they need to appease to lock them in for future purchases... You're getting old, right now the general public want more tech, creature comforts and power... What you want will be one offs (ala Porsche 911R or M4GTS) or exclusives or something made in small batches...

ill have to be on the look out for it now that they are state side

ByeFelicia · 02-10-2020, 10:08 AM

How many people paused to see what the front is going to look like.

cactusjack · 02-10-2020, 12:41 PM

This thing is going to be so damn ugly- BMW has lost its touch

What? Did you not read what I wrote? I am speaking to the observations of the person in the video("according to the video commentary..."), as is every other post in this thread. It is speaking to what we have seen. It seems you are having trouble with the concept of this thread, and the entire forum lol. Based on your logic, no one should post anything on here until 2021, this forum should not even exist! Lol clown, how about you follow your own logic and not post for a couple of years.

Look at the size of that muffler can! (gotta hope it's not the final rear fender - I can't drive around with that hanging out the back of my car!

).

Anyone shares this opinion?

Well, that kind of thinking got us into this horrible GRILL debacle. So no.

Trakrzy · 02-11-2020, 08:15 AM

Hopefully the front end doesn't disappoint. I like the rest of the car.

I Agree!

Here's another from another spotting today

The angle and swirls make it difficult to see if that car is missing the leaked diffuser in the leaked picture below?

The cut-outs around the pipes appear to be more square in the leaked pic. But again those swirls play tricks on the eye. The whole bumper appears a bit different on the test car, with more of a shelf under the trunk.

Loma · 02-12-2020, 12:32 AM

The real bumper and that diffuser are most likely covered. That's why the fender seems to protrude that much.
The M3 might as well look better that way...
