I want to disagree with you but I think what you stated is coming true. I just saw renders of the 7 series LCI....>.<

Yoda was indeed banned for the more obvious subject at hand. While the 7 series LCI is obviously not a car for buyers in the M range generally but if that picture is true, holy crap BMW has lost its way. There is very little marketing they can do that can reverse all of these ugly ass designs that will tank their sales. BMW's EV might sell okay MAINLY on the fact that there will be rebates and cash back for them but that will not keep the sales afloat. It didn't for the i3, it won't here especially since Tesla, Audi, Porsche, VW all have better options that don't have a car's face that makes you want to punch it. The G8x will sell okay for the reason that BMW will push hard for lease deals once they see how many of these cars are sitting already. Although it isn't starting off this way because according to the threads, these car lease cost over 1k at the moment. I'm curious how long this attitude will last.

So I'll be curious how fast I see a G8x. It's anecdotal of course, but I just can't see someone buying one, at least around here. And I drive past two large dealerships weekly and so far, from the road, I don't see any buckys ... they're really pushing the X2/3/4/5/6s and M5s but no buckys anywhere in sight from the road. And I've not see any in the wild, though I'm not on the road much any more. How about the rest of you? See any buckys? |

But is it unusual? Yes. Considering BMW, Benz, Audi, Porsche are very common here, it is out of the ordinary not to see newly released cars.

I’ve said this before... till today, not a single sighting yet. I see Fx series cars, today I saw a new 5 series (550 M sport), 330s, maybe the occasional 340. Seen some of the new SUVs too. Not a single bucktoothed car yet. I have actually seen a Taycan turbo already. I think tomorrow, I’ll drive by the local BMW dealer to see what’s on the lot.

When I was driving an X3 about 10 ago, there was a buck m4 on the lot. I asked the salesman WTF and he said he hopes it dies before another model year turns

The guy in the video didn't let the car warm up and did a few revs. Once the cats and engine warms up the tone of the car changes but cold start wise yes it does sound like that.
The new LCIed 2.9L V6 has more of an angry snarl compared to the deep growl of the old 3.0 V6. Sport/Sport+, open valve I prefer the 2.9L one. It sounds better to me because when you get deeper into the RPM range it sounds like Porsche's flat 6 noises. This is the same engine you will find in the Turbo, but the S has a different 3.0L V6.

You know... it's pointless to block someone only to see them reply because someone else quoted them >.>

I haven't see any new 4ers on the road. I still see new m340 with temp plates, so people are still buying those. |

"Just a few more pages".
That sentence will be banned from my vocabulary from now on.

I know a lot of you guys are preparing for the real inauguration on March 4th and, if you're like me, seditionin' really works up an appetite! And if you want the best masks and pepper spray you gotta get there early, and with tactical suit-up, who has time to eat??
Well problem solved! Tactical egg holster. |
