Just look at that E92 next to the G82 to see how overdue this change really is.

Riiiight, we are just sheep who are "easily manipulated." Couldn't possibly be that we like the car or that reasonably people can differ in their opinions.

You have to realize, sir, that these forums are only 1% of the pool of potential buyers for the car.

In any event, great comment, I literally LOL'd.

I understand some people prefer older cars but some of us want to move on too
If you’re going to say the f80 looks old at least use LCI pictures with the new headlights, makes a world of difference.

I’ll take my “old” car

I was thinking the same thing, it looks like the hips have slimmed down so they needed to add an extension to cover the rear tire.

G8x is looking more aggressive already. I have f82 and I love mine but I'm 100% ok with the changes.

My theory is these are base photos that are touched up by different markets to reflect their specific needs. so if your market will not even offer the base car they can photoshop a competition badge on it. The M3 from the Instagram teasers (which looks to be the same car) clearly has an M3 badge in the teaser.
I heard BMW changed their mind about releasing an M3 that looks this ugly so instead they will save the iconic name for the LCI when they scrap the whole exterior design and replace every body panel. Then, and only then, will they put the M3 badge back on.

Not exactly proportioned, but you get the idea.
Absolutely and to be honest I like the new ones rear better but prefer front (at least in pics) of the old one

Love everything except the front, unfortunately the front being this ugly is still a deal breaker for me no matter how well this car will perform....

Same reasons I never considered the Alfa , cause of the ugly front end....

Call me shallow, but looks matters alot to me...

Man I feel so heart broken being a loyal bmw car fanatic since I was a just a little boy.... 4er and 2er gc starting to get rid of the holfmeister kink... 5er lci getting rid of the "angel eyes"... this is the first m3/4 that I don't find attractive... just sadddd
