What option changes are expected for the LCI?
I’m thinking of dropping my M2 order and getting into a G80 instead. Problem is there are sooooo few available on lots. I want base 6spd trim in gray or white with red interior and am pretty open to options otherwise (more or less). So hard to find availability. But if I order one it’s going to be 6mo-1yr likely. |

So is it pretty much a done deal that the g8x is the last ICE versions of these cars? |

This is the problem with forums like these, folks get way too financially invested in their car & can no longer be objective thus feeling the need to defend every little thing about it. If you like the grille there's nothing wrong with that, doesn't change the fact that the G80 sells well because the entire car is amazing, the exterior design not so much.

Well said.
The common response that “BMW sold lots of G8Xs therefore people love the styling” is just nonsense. Plenty of people (including M fans) buy cars despite disliking certain features. I know numerous G8X owners who’d happily swap their front end for something more attractive. Personally, I’m praying the LCI brings more cohesive design. 🙏🤞🏼 |

Barring Benz putting an I6 in the upcoming CLE63, the M4 has no competitors in its segment, even less when looking for a convertible.

At the end of the day, if it’s that big of a deal, continue to stay on the sidelines. It really is that simple. Not everything is for everyone. “Vote with your wallet”, right? The unfortunate thing though about that (and the reason that sales numbers are important) is people are voting with their wallets. So BMW has no incentive to change the styling because it’s the best selling M model EVER. As a company why would I dramatically change a product that is selling like crazy? And if you don’t like the grill I have really good news for a few of you here… In 4 years time the car won’t need one at all. Last edited by OSee; 06-11-2023 at 09:31 AM.. |

Yes, allocations that are designated to go into production after the start of the G80 MY25 production date will be LCI. That will be in July of 2024.

For now, I wonder if BMW will have a change of heart similar to Toyota, their stance on EV is alarming to the say the least and I hope BMW takes note or IMO their reign as the number 1 will be very short lived IMO and trust me I love the brand I just dont see EV being the future, not yet at least.

If you want the dated old front end back go buy a used F80. The rest of us will move on without you.

Okay I am sure I am in the minority.
I like the front end and cars overall stance. Something is just a little off that a bit of tweaking may make it amazing. It’s actually the side I think. Personally I love it and will be M4 CS bound if it’s in a nice blue color or a green I would get another in a heartbeat as who else makes two dour coupes anymore. Mustang is nice but a Mustang and get 500 more money If I spend a chunk more I am Z06 bound for sure |
