Wheels do look good!! Very aggressive but I want to see Isle of Man in person with cognac interior.
7 months? Try 2 weeks ago lmaooo...
Same issue, different (car) generation. Some truly won't buy it or will buy it then go back to a previous gen...maybe leave the brand altogether. Nothing new.

To be fair, there were plenty of people that liked it initially or are/were reserving judgment until they see the full car. I'm in the latter camp.

Wait until we see performance figures though, that'll win even more people over.

Thanks for your commitment to keeping us informed.
Are you able to specify as additional equipment?

In Europe you can specify the new M5 LCI with the three choices available, which they have added the five-spokes found on the standard M8(Non-Competition) as an addition that can Be specified on M5 and M5 Competition.

However most markets are now forgoing the standard M and just offering the Competition variant only. I do not know what the US market intends to offer. But surely they will be offered under official accessories?

To each his own. I think they look great...although I'd go all black on these.

The 666's lack concavity. That's an absolute no-go for me. These new wheels are the business though.

I'm personally not a fan of these particular wheels

I certainly wouldn't want to clean them

With much respect, I'm confused by your response. The US market is why they still made the 6MT (we were the lion's share of the 6MT sales for the F8x) so we will definitely get the option. My questions is can we upgrade the wheels to the competition model wheels when buying the base G80 in 6MT?

One thing to be said, it looks proportional. Big or no big grill. Proportions of the car work.

It does photograph better than an F80 where I struggle to get a nice angle like this.

But it's no 992.
