my exact thought especially with that spoiler
no class, no refinement
looks like a 16yo wet dream
the regular G80 is way better IMO

The previous m perf exhaust was very classy, this one I guess they wanted to go crazy with all the designs. I won't be surprised they come up with major exterior changes for the LCI.

calicolorado · 09-22-2020, 07:20 PM

Wow, I really don't know what to say...all sense of good taste balanced with performance is completely gone. BMW is completely tone deaf...a Covid mask/blackface front end???? Holy crap they are lost. It's over for now...

Yep - what an awful video. Makes we want to have nothing to do with the cars!

Mingwan · 09-22-2020, 07:24 PM

Just watched the video. It’s like the G8x is advertised to appeal to fashion hipster snobs rather than car enthusiasts.

Superjackson · 09-22-2020, 07:27 PM

Finally, a design that isn't boring af. That exhaust is so cool too

ThatKrazyPolak · 09-22-2020, 07:30 PM

Who ok-ed this marketing campaign? It's like trying to appeal to 27 year old trust fund hipsters that make multimillion dollar deals posting salt bae dances on TikTok.

Newsflash BMW, there's a company called Tesla that the kids are into. Young people are saddled with student loan debt there not going to go out and buy a $80-90K gas powered sports sedan. The unfortunate truth is young people nowadays like puppy filters more than driving, that's why they flock to Tesla.

This is all coming from a youth that actually appreciates driving.

to_riffic · 09-22-2020, 07:32 PM

The most tragic element out of all this is that someone is going to like that M Perf exhaust and it probably cost $9k installed at the dealership....

Dude I'm 28 take a Xan and a half.

Ghostriderf80 · 09-22-2020, 07:35 PM

I think the color for that car will be black. It hides the horrible lines of the grill.

I have no idea what they are thinking. Maybe the marketing researcher was on lsd or they did a mock up of boy racer dreams. Homer Simpson car lol.

White340 · 09-22-2020, 07:38 PM

I'm laughing so hard right now. I couldn't figure out whether this was a joke or not.

Is the black vinyl some sort of camo or is it a real part for sale?

The exhaust will cost a fortune given it requires a diffuser to go along with it. Maybe bmw and Toyota share more than just their engines now. Perhaps you can use the IS F diffuser instead.

What an epic fail all of this is. The entire reveal was completely fuked up and marketing should feel ashamed. Although I guess when you're selling something that looks so ugly it's hard to find a good way to market it. And all that power is necessary to haul it's fat ass around.

e92ry · 09-22-2020, 07:43 PM

Those parts are horrible.

It's like when you're playing Need for Speed and you just earned a bunch of cash from winning a race... and you go and buy every single mod from the shop.

What's weird is how they're bringing back the black diffuser. That was popular in the 2000s, and stopped being a thing really after the E90/E92 series. Now it's back and bigger than ever.

ptper · 09-22-2020, 07:50 PM

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing the new ///M Civic Type R!!!

GuyOh · 09-22-2020, 07:52 PM

When you think it can't get any worse.....

YKIGI · 09-22-2020, 08:02 PM

Guess I’ll store my F82 for the future to show my grandkids what BMWs used to look like back in the day. Cuz they are never coming back.

The red stripe around the diffuser reminds me of a Subaru wagon I saw the other day

I wonder if they would have a mask for the front grill or dig out the leather bra's to hid the hideous front face.

Whyte_Diamonds · 09-22-2020, 08:13 PM

In this nicest way possible, BMW has turned a true gem of a vehicle into a bonafied piece of shit.

I was hopeful the M Performance parts would restore the faith of many concerns and they basically said, "Hold my beer." and made it worse.
