very common for them to use old wheel designs, mismatched wheels, etc on mules yes.

Looks like the G8x is getting larger standard brakes like the M2 Comp.

There are so many models now I feel it's just not as special as it used to be.
Slipping??
It's a boxing/MMA/Martial Arts defensive thing... basically a head fake.

My meaning was they give us something to see, "candy" and then weave the other direction. Basically they make us think it's exclusive but then in reality it's just a head fake to sell us more expensive cars.

Unfortunately every new model is growing in size
I am sure most of us is wishing to stop doing this but like always it needs to match competitors for sale.

Yes, I believe I saw that post too. I was specifically referring to the style of the wheel, not the diameter of the wheels.

There will be a Coupe of course. It's just they are keeping prototypes hidden for now. But we will see it soon. They need to sell the idea of the kidney grille to the general public.
The new 4er is an absolutely stunning car.

Standard package on the 840d. Derived from the actual concept of THE 8.

Always appreciate Scotts words and input, but every time i hear you speak about/describe the new grille it just sends shivers down my spine. Tones of cautiousness and uncertainty and even hesitation are everywhere. Makes me so nervous ... of all the cars to pull this massive identity stunt on, why you gotta f*ck w my baby BMW?! Whyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!?

Agreed but it looks as though it may be blacked out with the addition of a rear diffuser.

It's ridiculous how big it is.

Just look at the front and rear overhang.

Sad 😞 BMW is killing the 2er Convertible as well.

Can not wait to see this revealed. If it looks anything like the CS concepts they've produced the last few years, it's gonna be stunning

First time I've heard you say that, thought you were on the fence with the big grills. Had a more recent look?

So the M3/M4 won't come with piston brakes in the rear correct? Sounds stupid but a simple thing like this will force my hand to purchase a F80 CS which I want anyways + the fact that the grille looks like it's going to be taller than my 2 year old lol.
