The F80 looks sculpted, the G80 looks injection molded. Best way I can describe what I feel when I see all the angles here

Really is much better. The F8x was such a cohesive design. G8x looks so disjointed and confused to me. Nothing about the front end looks well thought out. I hope a company really comes through with some kind of G20 headlight/grill/bumper conversion. Would love to see a wide, new bumper design with the G20 headlights on the G80

I think this will go down as the ugliest design BMW has ever done.

Obviously I'm a little biased given I'm a f8x owner, but sounds like the only ones excited for this atrocity are the f8x haters
Yes the f8x value will organically drop and it'll look dated. But at least I know I bought a car that I had fallen in love with versus forcing myself to buy a car to like it after the fact. This makes the decision on what the next car after a f8x should be for many of us, and it's prob going to be 9-1-1. |

Scaled down? The M4 has a longer wheelbase than the M8

Nice racing seats in the 4. How many people saying that it's ugly will go out and buy one once the performance numbers come out

I just want to say.. wow.
First of all, why ruin the M3 with the M4 grills? The 3er is a good looking car, but they had to go put design elements from the M4 on it. Secondly, what is up with the hood? That hood is ugly. In my honest opinion, these cars look like they're designed by a Civic fan who idolized BMWs and thinks this is what a sporty BMW look like.

There's a theory that they had to match to the ugliness of 2020

+2.... Just not feeling this new design at all. As I've stated before, perhaps us F80/F82 owners just got a little bump in value on our cars!

Front is a mess. The oversized grille forced the designers to make weird lines in the bumper to fit the grilles. The backend looks ok. The classy lines has disappeared and this car looks somewhat like a car that you would see in Transformers movie.

Grille actually looks somewhat tolerable (far from good), it's the lower bumper that's super confused.
Just too much plastic with a bunch of conflicting lines. There's a touch of Giulia in there somewhere with the headlight cluster.
