Supercar Blondie G82 M4 "Driving review"

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Not much of a driving review but they did let her drive the car and use launch control. Interesting info on the drift analyzer as well.

Again, this shows the new target audience for the G8X. Instead of putting the car in the hands of proper drivers for proper driving reviews, they prioritize social media image makers. BMW ///M R.I.P.

My friend, there's no way in hell this was authorized by BMW. This is something that went down in a dealership parking lot.

Covid is the only reason we either don't have (or won't have for some time) true driving reviews.

That's not a just some dealers parking lot, that's BMW WELT! You can see the doppelkegel in the background.

Lol, the cheesy “look how badass we are with our gas can” gave me a good chuckle, as a “review” it’s obviously garbage. Though millennials might view it differently, maybe...

BMW pulls the car out of the Welt and then says, sorry, you are going to have to add your own gas for your 300ft test drive.

I can't wait for some reviews. I want to hear how the car drives!

It has been very slow and people are ordering cars soon.

Also, please just want ONE person who films the car, open the roof-rack flaps and show the bolts for attaching a roof rack. Please, somebody

People are lumping the marketing in with the engineering, like the people who comprise the two teams have ever even congregated in the same room.

People are upset about the grilles and weight gain and are attacking anything and everything they can about the brand. Just my opinion. In any event, we are all talking about it.

Put an attractive female in a 'man's world' and that kind of thing will often happen. Same with shooting videos on youtube. Law of nature...

So why aren't they marketing the engineering?

Give me a hypothetical of an ad campaign you would consider suitable.

But we have had similar videos with Flasch, we have seen a manual G82 at the limit on a track, etc.

Also, the times we are living in are likely slowing down the full driving reviews, it's the only possible explanation given the car is in production. The tech in this car does exceed that of the prior generations.

This type of shit and the M Performance videos do nothing for me. However, I don't look at it as proof the brand is dead.

Flasch has said very little technicaly about the car thus far. I've been patiently waiting but to no avail, which leads me to believe they've got little to show or talk about. As far as the tech goes, there's nothing new (save for AWD for those that it interests) and the G8X is actually a step backwards in terms of weight reduction effort. The brand isn't dead, but what it used to stand for slowly is.

Yea, come to think about it, it's pretty odd we are not bombarded with facts and data, on the new model. Very un-BMW like..

Based on the design, which I would say is trying a little too hard to make it physically stand out, I believe you're right; they is nothing about this new model to really move the needle, so to speak..

Time will tell. Let's give it another 2 months and then, given your technical knowledge, I'm quite interested to hear what you have to say.

I can't help but think you and everyone is trashing BMW primarily because of the design changes but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
