I will say the G8x certainly looks more modern than the F8x....I think that’s largely due to the slim and more detailed design of the lighting elements of the G8x, though.
It’s a controversial design for sure which got me thinking that despite all the negativity this car has received so far, it’ll probably leave quite an impression in person. I think I can get past the way the car looks. Can’t get past the around 2 tons this thing will weigh. |

Fully adjustable traction control...
I like M Traction Control for the street, but I only need one other setting besides On, and M... FULLY OFF.

You guys are gonna have to tell me how to get wealthy enough so I can get an M3 as soon as it comes out. In my opinion, it looks totally awesome, just in a different colour though.
Stop for a moment and appreciate what BMW has done here: in a time where we're invaded by a mentality of cars being gadgets on wheels (Elon Musk said it best yesterday during battery day: "think of a Tesla as a laptop on wheels"), and cars that are just marginally different from previous generations, BMW comes out with an in-your-face design, saying "we're not afraid to challenge the status quo". Very brave of them indeed. I totally dig it. In these moments is when I'd love to be rich, because I'd give one M3 to each of my friends, as a recognition to BMW for being this bold with this new generation.

The entire presentation is nauseating. Flasch should have been the adult in the room and shut down whatever peter pans came up with this whole program.
If the screaming idiots, annoying background music, superficial q & a, and hype videography weren't indication enough, that full M performance model typifies their direction and target audience.

So Flasch confirmed that the black high gloss lower valence is standard and not optional. Well there is always the option of ordering black sapphire metallic to hide it should I dislike it IRL. Not sure what I think, I don’t mind it with the green paint on the M3 but with the yellow it looks odd.

Most aggressive M design ever.
Interior and fit and finish looks amazing too. It looks like a more expensive car than it is, in and out. I understand why some F80 owners are loosing it, and turning into haters. F80 looks ancient now.

These M3/M4 is so ugly that the money I saved up for this went towards a used Porsche 997.2 C2S instead and so happy with my decision. Don't get me wrong, my daily driver is an OG M2 but this will be my last BMW. I think!

I don't have to drive this to know that the F80 (which I don't have anymore) will fee more raw (though I will still test drive it because why not). I don't care how impressive the numbers are, you cannot get around physics and 300-400 lbs more does not a better car make. I 100% expect this to feel as numb as the new M5 does compared to the E39, or hell even the F10. Will it be capable? Hell yes. Will it be more capable then the F generation? Absolutely. Will it feel like a numb bloated shitbox (albeit fast shitbox) like an RS5 and and C63 do? I'm willing to bet good money it will. I guess what I'm saying is that I didn't want another bloated GT wanna be car. I wanted something more akin to the spirit of my M2C (which is what I replaced my F80 with), but that ship has sailed for BMW and nearly every other manufacturer. I get it, and I accept it, doesn't mean I have to like it. But, you know, opinions....

Can you really be proud of this abomination?
If I would be responsible for this, I would quit my job. When your design is so blatantly criticized, you should make an introspection and admit it: YOU AS A DESIGNER ARE A FAILURE!!! |
