Bad ass.

madpistol · 12-16-2021, 07:39 PM

Nobody is getting away from that.

NSX2M4 · 12-16-2021, 07:51 PM

It's been beat to death already, but I have tried repeatedly to adopt this new design language and I just can not. All colors, flavors, performance parts, wheels, etc. (shrug)

RyanBMW · 12-16-2021, 07:51 PM

Dial 000 baby, 0-100mph in no time!

reward72 · 12-16-2021, 08:01 PM

That face gonna scare the baddies!
(sorry, I couldn't resist)

AUSf22 · 12-16-2021, 08:06 PM

Dammit... now my M2C has no chance of getting away with that s58 chasing me...

playswcars · 12-16-2021, 08:10 PM

There's an idea for a wrap on my AW M3

canadianbimmerlover · 12-16-2021, 08:11 PM

Mad Max!

Honestly, that says a lot about you as a person. You lack creativity and forward thinking.

Not necessarily, The new design language is very juvenile in my opinion and it's just that, my opinion.

iviegatron · 12-16-2021, 08:24 PM

You know they are serious when they get the carbon roof option. Lightweight.

Wouldn’t it be best for you to just hang out in a different sub forum? I mean I hate Ford mustangs and you don’t see me over on their forum do you? I mean I get it. You don’t like it. I don’t like Tesla‘s either. So I don’t hang out there and tell them how ugly their cars are. We all love the G80.

Having said all this it’s not really cool that a police department forks over taxpayer money to buy a sports car. Sorry I’m not impressed.

From what I gather here, you're a troll for the G80. I'm discussing design language for BMW in general as this was posted on the front page. I just literally said I am trying to love the design as a brand standpoint but cannot seem to do that. I don't care if this car beats a Porsche in a race, it's ugly. Plain and simple....

Just buy the cars and designs you like instead. Apparently a lot of us, including myself, love the design and voted with wallet.

Take a walk

That was one of the greatest spin jobs I’ve ever seen. I love it. You in fact do the trolling and then someone that calls you on it you turn around and call them a troll. Absolutely brilliant. It didn’t work but it was still a good college try.

I mean...you came in here, clearly looking for attention. And you're calling him/her a troll?

I do not need your attention or anyone one else's for that matter.
It's an open forum. A discussion board. The performance is there, never doubted it.... Have a good night, I'm not getting into it with keyboard jockeys on an open mic that's heavily regulated and edited in the sake of BMW's brand image...

A lot of departments all over the world buy cars like these as a part of their fleet. Often times they are used for public events to draw attention and as a marketing campaign of sorts.

You should check out some of the police cars Dubai has!

No hard feelings. And no need to play the victim card either. If you ever need help in navigating the forum shoot me a PM....happy to help. It's never really wise to call a car ugly on that respective cars' sub-forum. You may get a negative reaction

You are of course correct. I just don’t like it.
