The grill is the best looking part of the G8X

The rear looks like a lexus, the shoulders look like a mustang.

The side view looks like a t-boned infinity G37X

The front hood looks like my fecal matter from this morning.

That grill is saving BMW sales, i know what happened, so BMW built the car and realized holy fucking smokes this car looks awful, no way it will sell, unless, unless, we smokescreen it.

Insert massive grill, everyone averts attention to massive grill, says yuck massive grill. Forgets the rest of the car and says if the grill wasn't so huge maybe i would get one.

Out comes BMW and sponsors small shops to create retrofit bumpers for free.

BMW sells the mistake they made, kaching, profit.

As i said this is the prevailing theory on the grill, it was sent there to divert attention, and the bumper solutions are coming out fast so people are very hopeful they can just slap on a 2k bumper and have a sweet M4.

Little do they know, bumper or not, they are focusing on the wrong part of the car

I personally hate the side step looking black trim too ...

R8 or a P car would be next for me.

I've been looking at these cars a lot, and I *finally* found a color combo which I don't think makes the car look horrible (pictured below). However, I've come across a new issue. Those carbon seats which look so cool on their own look WAY out of place in these cars. The cars aren't wild enough to pass these seats, they just aren't. You can really see how the carbon seats stick out like a sore thumb in this car, its too damned pedestrian and boring for those seats. At least in my opinion hah.
For some reason the side profile of the G82 really reminds me of a shark with their stunned looks. I wonder if that was a design cue.

I saw one today and it looks amazing. This thing will be sick. Pictures don't do it justice. After checking out the g80, my Cs was, meh. People, as usual, are hatting on the new bmw, but in a few months, it will be the new hot thing. Didn't even notice the m8 while I was walking back. I want one bad. Interior was so nice. How it drives, is the only thing remaining to be seen, but I'm guessing it will also be amazing.

Fancy yourself a fatty eh? Chubby chasers really get tight on the drawers over that spare tire.

Unofficial reviews (though idgaf if you’re a paid reviewer or not, opinions that aren’t mine don’t buy my shit) have already said numb, heavy, big feeling. BUT IT WILL BE AMAZING.

Saw it in pictures, hated it, saw it in person hated it. Everyone says its doesn't photograph well, my response: "of course it doesn't photograph well. If its ugly in person it will also be ugly in pictures."

So far it's either that or "this thing is going to be a monster once it's tuned/modified"

Technically, things are supposed to look better in pictures Haven't you seen all those photoshopped models?

People are making themselves like it Bc it’s a m3.

Bmw is laughing everytime Someone purchases one. Seeing this car feels like a bad dream Bc a lot of people waited a long time for this car to come out.

Haven’t been this disappointed about a car in a long time. Saves me a lot of money so not a bad outcome for me.

Saying something looks better in person is a pretty shitty caveat. I’d love to see an advertising department put that in an ad lol.

It’s like saying the camera adds 15 pounds.
