I love all of it (Except the weight increase). For the record, I still wear dress shoes and socks every day with my suit and tie.

I find San Marino Blue (my CS) to be boring compared to YMB. I miss Yas very much and always smile when I see one on the road.

IoMG is very muted compared to what I was hoping for. Tanzanite is regular old dark blue to me. Let me know what you decide and good luck!

Has is a stunning color! I do the same when I see one, lol. Excited to see more of these colors in the coming weeks. I'm getting the whole family involved as my twins love cars so they are excited too to pick the color. Will do, you as well!

My biggest disappointment, beside the obvious, is the lack of a red leather seat option. I hope this option is eventually added for the next gen M2..🤞🏼

Beside that, this car is way to big for my taste, it looks like a Nissan GTR; monster power but, size-wise feels like a boat, at the helm.

It's not the best choice of kind of car for those that like to narrowly dip in and out of traffic, at a brisk pace - if you catch my drift..

Just logged on. On a browser on my phone. To say what the heck is that at the rear. BMW went all Gucci with their logo on everything. Disgusting design, just horrendous - those pipes? Now this car has an asshole rear and a face with a nose cutoff. Who signed off on this tacky garbage?

Thanks I could not see it before.

It's interesting to say the least.

Doesn't change my opinion about the new cars but honestly it's hard to watch.

I turned it off when people came home this afternoon, almost like I was embarrassed to have that noise coming out of my phone.

Struggling actors, musicians, LA hipsters and James Bond villains apparently based on the G8X commercial

Obviously I haven't driven the M3/M4 Gx pedigree yet, but I have the M340.

if the former is anything like the latter, we're in for a lot of fun
Yeah I might not love how the new m3 looks but I'm sure it's fun to drive.

I can’t help but feel this is a symptom of what happens inside a company when a minority perspective gets a majority say.

I would love to know how this occurred from inside the company.

I will categorically state this is nothing to do with race, religion, age.

I cannot see how this result was the outcome of a sensible majority within the business. Surely most of BMW M was losing sleep while a dominant minority got their way. I simply cannot believe that this got a majority vote within a boardroom.

You assume a lot. For all we know, everybody in the company might've been really happy with the final product. We'll see in a few years if BMW's marketing/design was absolutely genius or an absolute mistake.
