why people will do that is out of my understanding. Looks out of place, not to mention how the heck you will clean all the residuals, sand, mud and everything that will retain moisture if you do that?
I have a hard time cleaning it as is...

Looks so much better! Agree, needs a slight lift in the rear though.

Looks good man. Exactly how I expected it to look. Just like every BMW when it's lowered, better! Do love the responses from people "wasn't sold on the G80 until I saw it lowered" lol. Like for real? It's the standard suspension height that had you on the fence? Hahaha

What's next on the docket to mod?

Lowering? Well it does have performance benefits even if you don't like the aesthetics.

The front is such a unique design. I think lips are going to be a challenge. The m perf loo replaces the little side black pieces and I don't think works well with the design language.

I am excited to see what the aftermarket does and hope to have some options before I take delivery in June.

If the G22 was a face, it would be missing a chin.

BMW designers were able to correct this a little with the G8X but I feel like it could still use some balance below the grills.

Looking at what’s come out for the G22 (I know, different car/fitment, but same idea) I thinks it’s going to be a challenge for sure.

The is currently the only real option for G22 owners

I know the G8X is going to attract another level of 3rd parties to the game.

Can you tell me of the performance benefits of just adding lowering springs?

Lower center of gravity.
