Sorry Scott, but the rear bumper/diffuser contraption really does look like a mess. Not to mention factory side skirts? What have the designers been drinking lately?

There are always those slow adopters.

But if you go back to F8X spy photos, it was actually pretty well liked. People thought the aggressive front end was a nice change. Of course the exhaust note was harped on relentlessly, and still is. But the overall appearance was welcomed.

There are almost no positive comments for the G80, other than it "being different." This diffuser looks like an abomination, not to mention the weird body creases along the trunk and sides.

ZCP (competition packet) no longer exists..

the questions is whether or not this is the competition MODEL ..

corrected... and also informationally correct wth regards to timing of the competiton model

thus far.. M2 COMP is the only Competition model that has been separated from the base M level by more than 6 months.. M5, M8 have been announced already... X5M and X6M comp coming soon.

And for those still doubting the giant grilles, the hood lines match up with the 4er Concept. The hood lines are pushing that grille front and center.

That would be good news. I have no problem if the car will look agressive, but please not like a G20 with some tacky aftermarket parts.

The diffuser/roof needs to be in CF or painted black and the trunk is begging for a taller spoiler. I like how they incorporated a more aggressive diffuser - probably saw how popular the PSM and Varis kit was on the F8x. Overall I'm digging the new rear end.

Nope!

Yup!

no offense but this is really old information. comp packages are released on initial launch now and we already have s58 in production on the x3/4m

Yes, it would be more appropriately called the competition model. You are correct. Old habits die hard!!

I don't mind it guys, it looks good IMO. Better in other colors (Dravit, Tanzanite)?

It's the front-end that will polarize folks and melt faces. I see BMW are "leaking" the safer shots first. Not a bad strategy.

The fake diffuser is just body colored. It's shiny so reflecting off the light diamond plate on the ground.

not for nothing but, I think the F80 was the best looking sedan and I'm obviously partial, this model has me highly considering a lease buyout vs jumping into this g generation head first.. maybe the LCI will look better.

What silver lining? The diffuser is just painted body colored like other modern BMWs and there is a black plastic trim around it. Nothing is silver.

I think this car completely fixes the weak F80 bumpers. I like all the sheet metal on the F80 but the bumpers look way too overdone. The G80 bumpers look much better without random curves ending in random places. The only thing I don't like is the body colored fake diffuser. That's easy to wrap, though.

I held off on the F80 after confirmation of a manual G80 and I'm glad I did. The rear bumper is far better on the G80.

im done, thats it ive stuck around long enough to see what this mess is all about and im out. long gone are the days of simple, clean, long flowing lines and now its just a bunch of hodge podge too many designers in the kitchen crap. i know rice rockets across the street patched together w duct tape that look better than the rear end of this nonsense ... keeping my F80 and when its done im movin to Porsche. ya go ahead and count me as one of the "few" but seriously, the designs coming out of munich lately have become questionable at best. Classes, cheap looking, plastic everywhere. nothing flows, nothing connects, nothing is seemless, its all a damn patchwork quilt, like some kind of LEGO Technic set haha. Really at a loss for words here, i just hope this is not the finished product and theyre settin the bar REAL LOW here...
