This is very true in pictures/videos, but in person, in my opinion at least, it has the right proportions and looks wide, sporty & aggressive!

Not sure if you've seen it in person or not but that's my observation. A drop and a set of more aggressive offset wheels (or spacers on stock wheels) will finish it off in my opinion.
I've seen them in person and they don't look any better. IMHO The G80 looks best in black as it hides the grills proportions.

Sure that's your opinion, and I stated mine.

I don't think I've considered any M3 beautiful. The G8X is definitely the most aggressive/abrasive design though, as intended.

Lol no mistakes were made! But I do like the back and the interior is sick on the G8X.

Its all good I'm only joking, you can have your opinion. I'll be interested to see if it changes after you actually see the car though. The G8X does not photo well at all in my opinion.
