That second photo looks so strange lol.
It's like someone had butt enlargement surgery and messed up the surgery.

Well the natural fish mouth certainly doesn't help but yeah the distortion is also why it looks like it has such extreme camber - the photo is wrapping around the center point and skewing everything as it moves towards the edges

Not interested in tuning a warrantied car. The Panny ST GTS still is 40k more expensive than the RS6 and less practical.

You guys see this? New images of the i4. Honestly if they are gonna go big grills, the M3/4 setup is better (although still bad), not sure why they are putting the grill into the lower intake, its a bit reminiscent of an overbite.

The new Kias look more upscale than BMW - feel like living in twilight zone.

Someone should start selling beaver plush animals with the BMW logo.....
I just don't get this; really looks like they're fully committing to this look. I don't hold a lot of hope for LCI G8x. It'll be the next gen before any design updates are considered it looks like. Last edited by CT_M3; 04-23-2021 at 11:26 AM.. |

Throttle House extra video on the Toyota 86 sort of discusses what we talked about a few pages back, lower horsepower cars to run the gears out in without going insanely fast.
They're right, focus shifted so much from driving to numbers even in stock form. |

What overbite? I can't possibly see how you could think that
Seriously, such a poor design choice to put the grills into the intake. Just to keep with the metaphor, the pin/diamond grill design is like the braces

This is a great video from Cammisa, and really explains how they fixed the torque issue without adding a turbo or increasing the price.

I haven't driven one in years but I always thought they were a great way of getting people into the enthusiast world given their lower pricing, even if most of the owners are d-bags or ruin the cars with endless stance mods.

What are these designers smoking- M cars have always been loved by majority of ppl and the design is only polarizing now since you put a gargantuan grill that ruins the whole car. The only good design feature are the larger exhaust tips compared with F8x. |

They offer a very good option that I don't think a lot of people know about because the marketing seems non existent for them which is really unfortunate because we need more like them. |
