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.
Guys, I appreciated you all so when this gets deleted at least we have that maybe?...I'm with you all. Wish I took screenshots but the "will you upgrade" thread in the G80/82 section was about 75% no and various comments ranging from the grille rants to innocuous comments about the weight...etc. saying nothing about the grilles. The following day EVERY SINGLE comment that had even the hint of not liking something about the car was deleted....all that is left are the raving reviews, and "definitely goin' to upgrade *like* get me this b*tch a$$ car now BMW!!! #notaste #paidmarketinggrouptopostpositivereviews #deltadental"

This is so like middle school....stick your heads in the sand BMW....or maybe the front of that thing....maybe they will make an optional "M-performance bag" to cover....banned!

Its so over the top seems Jared Kushner is running Bimmerpost now as well....oh snap I just posted that outside the politics section....huh? no politics section?....see you in a couple months boys after my ban...
