Yup, I was banned after two posts! I guess it's because I'm a man of action
Anyway, I would hope here we can be more open and honest with productive dissent of the G8x
(mods please tell us if not) - at least I've posted way more don't-like-it posts elsewhere with no problems, but I more/less understand why: they don't want to crap up the G8x sub-forum with hater-posts and there's a lot of us with a lot of passion. That's fair, i just wish they'd make it more obvious there are no dissenters allowed there. I don't mind either because the forum was just aggravating me anyway so it's all cool.
But yeah, I'm really bummed about the G8x as I"ve been a huge M3 fan since the E30 and had every one except the E30 ... and now the G8x. I think BMW has really jumped the shark with the design, however there are people who legit like it so maybe it's one of those we're-all-old-now things or maybe just no longer have personality types in the target market. Why not make the M4 "bold" and M3 normal ... seems like they're taking a big risk doing both; I wish we all knew why... as in, what data is BMW seeing that's telling them this design will sell more than a "less bold" design? That would be a productive forum topic ...
Anyway, I really hope the LCI gets rid of the grille and other "boldness", but I highly doubt that'll happen ... though if it does, I'll get one immediately just out of principle.
