The front of that car is HIDEOUS. But it has "the Badge" and it is "the NEW thing" so people will buy it.

Im confused at the performance complaints though...3.8 second 0-60 (keeping in mind bmw underrates their 0-60 a bit) is getting pretty close to the limit of what you can achieve with a front engine rwd setup as far as an initial launch goes...thats getting awfully close to the point where any horsepower gains are offset by traction loss The g80 is most likely going to considerably outperform the f80 at speeds of 50+ with the improved power to weight ratio (people are using the wrong weights and comparing an unrealistically light f80 weight to a heavily equipped g80 to come up with this inaccurate 400+ pound weight difference) . Acceleration figures don't stop mattering at 60 miles per hour lol and if people are looking exclusively to dust people on the drag strip then why are they looking at an m3 anyway |

It's almost like it doesn't matter if the product is good or not, people will gobble it up. Of course, backers will say all of them are buying because they "grew into it" or it's because it's an "upgrade". New is not always better, unfortunately. Last edited by M3nford; 09-23-2020 at 04:18 PM.. |

I am curious , though, to see if the G will have slightly better or similar off the line grip characteristics as the F82! |

✅ It's an M3 ✅ You only approach from directly behind it ✅ It's low light ✅ The color isn't heinous ✅ As you get near, you spin and approach the drivers door facing backwards ✅ The interior isn't in the 4 year old colors Then it's not too bad. Course you'd have to tell your neighbors it's your brother's and he's stuck in Canada so you're just watching it for him. |

don't know if its just me.. it feels like BMW themselves have reached out popular car reviewers to get people to look at other aspects beyond the grill.
there is just a common theme and stress from these reviewers around how the car looks great in person. |

Pretty sure there's a reason Chris Harris got himself a new M2Comp not long ago ... can't wait to hear his review, I'm sure it'll be underwhelming
