Perhaps not instantly, no. But it does once you've gotten used to it in my opinion. It's all personal preference, of course, but I prefer the G20 over the outgoing F30.

'18+ zcp with icon lights plus aero bits best looking m3/4 of all time (to date). Got a strong hunch the new g will take crown for best looking. TBD.

I was never a fan of any E series BMWs, not the 5 series, not the 3 series, not even the 7 series.

I myself love the 90's-Early 2000's Bimmers and have grown to love the bangle cars, except for the pre-lci E65 7 series, that was still to this day hideous

Redline starting at little over 6.5 mark in an M car is just flat out depressing. High revving what?
Blame the ZF8HP BMW likes to slap nowadays in every damn model. I bet they won't change the redline even if offered in MT.

What's your source for this? Agreed 100% that I will miss DCT.

Getrag M DCT has two distinguishing features: longer shift paddles and no parking button on shift knob.
The layout is exactly the same as M8 released yestersay, with 8 speed M steptronic automatic transmission(BMW’s marketing term for ZF torque converter). |

I saw the 7 in the flesh for the first time today in the super market parking lot. It was like WOAAA that’s one mother of a grill!
But...every other BMW I saw on my way to the store from there looked dated...some extremely dated as a first gen. X5 with tiiiny grills that looked almost silly. On my way out from the store the new 7 was still there and this time I didn’t think it looked bad, instead it looked fresh and bold. No doubt this new M3 will date the old quickly. Dated doesn’t mean ugly, the F80 will always remain a handsome car. |

When is this coming already ? We got M8 released just after seeing some Nürburgring tests. Why does this M3 take such a long time ? I am about to pull the trigger on a 911 instead just bcs m3 is a year away!! Damn you BMW. You are losing customers.

They really should change the redline to 7600+ if offered with MT. Otherwise it will really seem like they are trying to neuter enthusiast variants.
