My eyes!!

Remember this thread?

Do you do the "look back"? https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1405241

We may have to start a new one..."Do you do the "look away"?

What about M4 GTS?
I said future classic. Meaning 15+ years time.

The GTS, in the UK at least has been a huge flop, there’s cars sitting in BMW dealers with ~200 miles on, that are coming up 4 years old. They can’t shift them.

I am 100% certain bmw designers are not proud of this product lol


I don't know if I agree here. Bmws A-team got poached by, of all companies, fucking Kia/Hyundai.

The bigwigs let that happen and brought in the old Audi team with a couple Lexus-based rhinologists.

Fast forward the clock 3-5 years, and this is the product of that bitter divorce.

LMFAO I actually guffawed when I saw the pic. I’m sure it’ll look better when it’s not all distorted but wtf... I was excited when BMW said it was gonna move in a bolder direction. I thought the f10/f30/g30 cars were dated the second they were unveiled. I am definitely not opposed to change. But this...

This! ^

E46, E9X and F8X are truly classic in terms of styling and driving experience. I suspect the new ones will be good on the latter attribute. On the former.... not IMHO.

Hahah, I think this was a lost-in-translation error at work here.

What they meant to be translated into English is interpreted as 'Wait 'till you see it! You'll want to smash into a boulder."

Only time will tell if this is a good idea or not.

As with most companies, money talks. If Benz starts beating BMW again, then we will see if BMW changes it's tone regarding this stupid look. BMW's best selling cars are it's SUVs and guess what? They are normal looking BMWs.

If I wanted a Alfa Romeo wanabe, I would have gotten a AR.

The grille might look good in chrome or a non-black tint.

Truly has been a downhill since F80 era

F80: Lost the BMW M recipe, where's our high RPM, NA, Stock ITB in my new m3? got the torque, but so do every other car in the industry with turbos. Fuck, why does it sound terrible...like a fart can every time I cold start, and it sounds worse than a reg 3 series 340i

G80: Got them awd option, turbo getting better, more pwr!!! but shit...Fuck it looks freakin ugly...how am i gon look at it everyday

I have a hard time believing this will outsell the F80

I should bet money on that

You might be right, then we will see a i4m and i3m.

No sense adding redundant pokes at the design but that aside, did they change design to help with cooling?

Future classic?? I absolutely adore it.

They just had to release this same car, eliminating the hood line. That’s all that’s needed.
