It’s around 17kg, but that isn’t why it we did it.

I don’t know man…I know there’s a TON of fans of the G80, but, I really haven’t bought into the concept.
Well…I’m happy that so many people are raving about it, just wish the BMW bings it to our side of the Atlantic for them.
I’ll stick to the ///M Xs (if I were to get a family car)…more to my liking.
Meanwhile…convertibles are IT for me!

Looks very cool…it almost distracts me enough from the front grill to say it’s an overall great looking car. I’ve seen G80 M3’s that look cool, as well…there’s just something about the G82 M4 that doesn’t work for me. The grill, too much Nissan GTR in the side profile, etc.

But this wagon…not gonna lie, it’s hot lol

Teasing with this model is unreal

What needs to happen to bring them to the states?!

YXEM5 · 09-09-2023, 03:14 PM

I didn't know it was possible to love a wagon this much! Unreal build top to bottom. Awesome work!

The giant (generally ugly) grills just work so much better on this shape of vehicle compared to the G82/4 (I think it fits the G83 decently as well). The long sloping roof leads into the sloping hood which leads to the waterfall like grills. Sadly, I, like many, will never get the opportunity to own one.

Agree 100%, the two ‘variant’ models in this generation suit the design more than the base Coupe/Saloon.

That hood. I NEED IT!!

Yep…unfortunately I can’t stand the grill. The car looks AMAZING to the right of the yellow line I put in…but damn that grill!!!!

I actually cringe now when a G8X makes the front page because the people who can't help themselves come to post how bad they hate the front end. 4 years later, no longer an original thought. We get it, it's polarizing. Some of us like it, others not. All good. No need to let everyone know your opinion. Just move on.

tfunk88 · 09-09-2023, 09:17 PM

No need to let everyone know your opinion…except in your case? 😜

It’s still just as ugly 4 years later…and to me since it makes a new car that looks amazing otherwise look bad it saddens me lol

No benefit comes from repeatedly slamming something you don't like. Just filling your life and the world with negative energy. There are plenty of things / builds on this forum I think are hideous. I recognize that's my opinion and just chose not to say anything.

Over time I've come to like the grille. So I've definitely moved on.
