They aren't complaining about the center exhaust, they are just finding something to complain about

I'm interested if BMW does come out with any aero or performance difference with these, or if it's pure aesthetics.

Looking at the rear of the side skirt I can’t fathom this ibeing for aesthetics. It has to be function over form.

Finally a proper looking exhaust on an m car. BMW should hire me as a critic of their designs they would have such improvements way ahead of competition, which I m sure half of this board would be good at this job too

[Sedan_Clan]

I like that front lip.

Yes, advantage is modern design for a sporty car.

Just release with the camo on it and get it over with!

It's simple as that. No aerodynamic purpose, just making money purpose.

Yeah I'm not sure this is a GTS/CSL, could just be a bunch of money making options. How to get your $65-70K M3/M4 to $100K

If this is indeed the m-performance exhaust, it seems they're taking a page out of the 991.2 book by moving the position of the pse exhaust from twin outboard to centered.

Definitely a departure from BMW's classic timeless designs

[Avaley]

honestly while i'm a bit shocked by the styling choices I can see it growing on me...

[SYT_Shadow]

GO BMW! Bring it on, maybe a GTS/CSL G8X is in my future

[Rockshaker]

Looks like BMW will complete the shit show with the next M series.

[Dimitri]

G80 will be an absolute beast, cant wait to get the M3 comp. Will live with the front

In the latest copy of the CCA magazine, the current M Chief touches on this in regards to his M Coupe:



I would agree 100%

The upcoming M3 M4 might not sell well

That's one hell of a justification

Hard to overcome ugly

[antzcrashing]

Rumor has it that these are just M performance parts, not an upper model

[The Choosey begger]

Those exhaust tips, What were they thinking?

[TrentMeister]

Seems funny that the “m performace car” does not have the carbon roof

That sounds insane, who will add those skirts and wing to a standard G8X? And that exhaust modification must be serious $$$ including new diffuser and likely muffler as well for optimal connection points and internal flow, as a full performance exhaust system plus diffuser plus work I don’t want to think what the price tag would be.

And you probably need to add all aero not to end up with poor balance.

I concur with all of your points 100%
