I genuinely like the wheels, everything else I'll take a pass on.

I never said that performances do not matter. What I say is that I would not buy a car that looks like a mammoth’s excrement, even if it was as performant as a 911 turbo and twice cheaper. What I also say is that it is sad to see BMW M killing its image like that.

The fact that we have another Internal combustion M car is an achievement though with all this emissions nonsense. Something to be grateful for I suppose. |

Must be a huge hit there. Car is all cheesed out, flared, with wings and winglets that don't do anything, big grills and bazooka exhaust. LOL... Just like covid has ruined most of that last 2 years, BMW has ruined their M3/M4.

However, I do sense a trend that new customers are more accepting to the design than us who have history, which is very understandable. The brand loyalty is seriously undermined. Very few from my M enthusiast social circle intend to upgrade to the new M. The M itself already moved on. We either move on too or part with it.

But I also do feel that it is a marketing tactic to limit the amount of cars for first release. My M friends are very interested but not going to upgrade right away for many reasons. New engines/ECU are so complicated custom tune... |

Try 911 it's even more so, although it's in a much higher price point and has much less customer in sheer number compared to the M. Also it's never the BMW's market tactic to limit supply. For none limited car (a lot limited one as well) BMW has always been producing as many as customer wants. It's a COVID thing that seriously hurt the capacity. The most of German still work from home the most of the time. In the foreseeable future, everything exotic is not going to stop upping the prices.

It is common to restrict the supply despite the demand in order to maintain high price/value/demand of the premium and luxury brands. Porsche is doing it for years, even to Macan, which is their best selling, profit-yielding vehicle.. it is basically Audi Q5 but always had more than 6 to 8 months delivery time in China. I agree that in future markups are going to get more common. Although manufacture might limit supply of vehicle but markups are done by dealerships for their own profit. I'm all against it and I hope manufactures will be more strict on these price markups. I want M4 Comp.... performance of new generation M is best ever. |

For all of the hubbub (read: made up nonsense) over this car being designed for China you would think that they would be projecting a better ROI. Reality: this car was designed for Southern California. The place that sells more M cars than anywhere else in the world. For better or worse. |

Really wish I could see the MPE/accompanying diffuser without the side winglets. I initially thought they were part of the diffuser.

Looks do matter. The loss of the DCT also factors in. But the fact that bmw used its emissions credits to get this car through is a great thing whatever it's flaws. |
