Hard to believe, but I might hate the M Performance rear diffuser more than the pig nose grilles.

You can see it in the press material for the G8X, there is very little emphasis on what was done performance wise to the car (as massively opposed to the F8X). The G8X press material is mostly about the "looks" while the F8X press material was about what is under the skin. That's quite telling IMO.

I certainly appreciate the appeal of a manual transmission and it is a great thing that BMW continues to offer it on the M3/4.

Either the guy doing the renders is prescient, or maybe there is some sort of leaky channel from BMW marketing? ;-) Either way - it still looks like a Civic Type-R and I would be embarrassed to be seen driving a car that had the kind of reputation this 'pimp my ride' kit is going to generate. |

My reference to the the F90 M5 was solely about the 8AT.

Yes, the S65 has fantastic throttle response and has way more sole in more mundane driving conditions, feels more special more of the time. There's no denying the S55's pulling power on track though, and in Sport+, it is responsive enough to allow positioning the chassis exactly where you want it. For me, I loved the S55 the first time I had in on track. The S63 in the F90 is also awesome, pulls like there is no tomorrow. I have little doubt the S58 will also be a great engine. It's the 8AT I don't like.

Let's wait and see about that. So far on paper, it's not.

Why they made this chamber soooo big, I don't understand, they put something unusual in it?

I wish I could do the M Perf Exhaust with a rear diffuser that didnt wrap around the side of the car and flair up.
I will NOT do those side skirts and I don't think it will look right without it.

But there might be truth in what you are saying. The G8X can be ordered from the factory with PSC2 tires right from the get go. So I would not be surprised if many press test cars are shod with these. But if that is the case, it does not necessarily make the G8X that much better. From the BMW.DE configurator:

So far, only the front tires are wider from a nominal size perspective (275 vs 265). We'll have to see when TireRacks get their hands on the BMW star spec tires for the G8X and give us the tread width to truly understand the difference with the F8X. I think they had to widen the front contact patch as well as the track on the G8X mainly because it carries a greater proportion of its weight on the front axle: https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...7&postcount=93
