Maybe they are not predictions as much as insider information.
I tend to agree with your statement, and I've alluded to that in the past as well. The hit rate is in the 95 percentile. Jason won't tell me though. Lol!

I’m arguing against his use of the term “universally,” which means “by everyone.” I am loving it, as are many others. Maybe we are the minority, maybe we are the super minority, but at least we aren’t losing our shit about a car no one has seen.

I agree with your overall point. Claiming that this car is universally unloved is a mass overstatement.

That's a no from me. Why are they making the m3/ now m4 different than the regular 3 series. Just make them the same as the new 3 ser and call it a day. Maybe change the pattern a bit but a totally different grill? And an ugly one too.

Have you been living under a rock since 2007?! As has been stated multiple times, that has been the formulaic approach ever since the E9X M3. The ///M's bear the front end of the coupe.

I do. When you start test driving other cars you’ll be reminded that the reason you DRIVE a BMW is not the way it looks

Oh you mean EVERY past BMW besides the mid 1900s 328? LOL.

Yeah gimme a 'old' E30 or E46 or E82 or E92 over this "modern' monstrosity every day of the week. Those are real BMWs designed like real BMWs. This is a streetcat wearing a lion mask.

Does "overwhelmingly" work better? I mean there have been maybe 1 or 2 posts per PAGE of people who either don't mind it (not very excited from their post verbiage) or really like it.

This is design really doesn't seem to be well received here with us. Let's be generous and say 20% have like the design. That still is extremely low for a design standpoint compared to past releases here on this forum. Just my observations.

Like others have said we need to see the full car. It just doesn't seem like even the final product will change the minds of the vast majority here (I most likely won't ever like this design)

Losing our shit is an overstatement.

I'm just sad to see a lineup as popular as this take a huge decline.

I have no doubt in most categories this car will be an improvement of the F8X. But sorry, I just can't get beyond such a polarizing design.

What in the F is going on at BMW. Did they forget to turn the grills by 90 degrees? Terrible. Absolutely terrible.
