Alas, I cannot talk myself into the spend for something that doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies. At first photo releases, I made a joke at the time that I couldn't wait to see the LCI. Then I went to see it in person and my stance was not changed at all. In the middle of this I decided to begin moving forward with a Porsche order for this (at the time, next) late Spring. COVID year comes through full force, have had some unexpected health expenses through the winter, as well as a large maintenance project that needs to be done on my house. Where I'm going with all of this is; I really hope I'm able to pull off the P-car this year still. But if I'm not, I still can't wait to see the LCI. Why - goes back to your initial stance here: Quote:
Anyway, all of you with G8x's in the pipeline, enjoy the anticipation. It's one of the most fun parts of car buying, IMO. I'm sure it will be a monster on the streets, and give you all of the fun you're looking for.

Considered an M2cs but for me at that price point with 2 doors I am going to spend a little more and either get a stripper GT4 or standard Carrera. Really want 4 doors, but there is a big gap in the BMW line now IMO. |

Love the car, glad I changed my order from frozen orange to Toronto red. It's just too dark for my tastes.

Of ALL the things to be upset over this one is the best.

Not bad. Can't wait to see the new G8x on the road.

No, I just don't get to like the new exterior shape of the M4, and it's not only about the grille. Those CF bucket seats, especially in SS though !

It's as if someone in photoshop used the border filter to heavily. So clunky and probably not adding to any aerodynamics at all. |

Agreed. The only way this car looks good is in frozen black. But, it's still not ticking the boxes for me and I won't be getting one for the first time in 25 years.....

That color and finish is an eye catcher for sure. Out of curiosity, what is the small “cavity” south of the gear shift handle and north of the P hold button?

This is to allow you to insert a finger or two to "lift" the parking brake.
