Owner discussion and impressions, can't have that. Since it would be unfortunate for any forum thread to have personal or business ramifications, hope the thread is removed per the request.
But BMW corporate can shove it on everything G8X. What a debacle. https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1803206 Thanks all the for overwhelming response in the thread! Unfortunately some of you have already predicted that this is coming to an end Monday morning when that call is made from the corporate. Getting anyone into trouble is not what me or the community is about. Mod please delete this entire thread. I'll report back after the "official launch"

They've got examples at dealers around the country, people apparently taking secret deliveries. There's another thread just now on the homepage with some member driving a demo. (Sounds good from the inside.) Just get the hell out of the way. The car is what it is, what are they doing.

And then some, everything associated with this car has been a dumpster fire.

All of the so called YouTube “influencers” (not harrismonkey) that are begging for likes and subscriptions get the car &give us highly opinionated reviews, okee dokeey.
a guy that actually paid for his car gets it before the 13th; review it then Bmw shuts it down. That has nothing to do with the customer. That is an internal problem. Stop trying to control so much BMW, let the man eat and enjoy his sandwich. |

Either the dealership didn't follow rules or was not informed properly. I'd say it's the former. Funny thing is, the same happened in 2015 when a member on here from Dubai received his F80 way earlier than the rest of the world. I don't think he was told to delete anything, though. 10 March is when the embargo is lifted and cars go on sale, apparently.

Some of these guys really are drinking the kool-aid... I don't even know what to say to this:

Probably both.
We had cars arriving on US soil that couldn't go on sale or even to journalists because of on-going emission certification processes. Don't know what's going on at BMW AG or BMW NA. I think that even if there weren't any internal issues, they still don't want dealers to deliver vehicles before the official sale start date. G8x have been at German dealers for weeks now but no deliveries over here, as far as I'm aware.

I'm surprised we don't have any semi-public BMW NA employees on Bimmerpost. Or they're being very secretive about their job. Definitely could tell us a thing or two right now as to what's happening.

Why did they have to fuck it all up!? I don’t see the LCI fixing much either as the whole body would need to be redesigned. Weirdly enough my car is still marketed for close to what I purchased it for because for some reason all 18+ models are gone from sale and there are only a handful of 15-17 left combined between the M3 and M4. |

He was joking.......the same way he was joking when he said he "tossed the dealership the keys to his Benz," trade in value be damned. You guys are way too uptight.

I am trying really hard to like it but I don't unfortunately. The interior is nice with a very premium feel over its predecessor. I'll give it that but it's a complete mess on the outside besides the wheels. The wheels are really cool. Much more aggressive than the 666's. I feel like they are trying way too hard because the lines are all over the damn place and nothing flows.
First, the front end is a disaster with the obnoxious grilles and the power-dome is gone. Second, the side profile is too busy with lines everywhere. The M4 loses the Hofmeister Kink and looks like an Infiniti Q60. While the M3 where the rear door meets the quarter panel is downright awful. What in the world is that? Fake side grills too? Really? Finally, the rear is okay but the diffuser goes way too high and it's very boxy looking. Overall it's just a no from me. Look it's my opinion and I hope whoever likes and buys them enjoys the fresh experience. It will most likely be faster and or handle better than our F80/F82's but so do many other vehicles in our segment. I remember when BMW used to do collaborations with real race and enthusiast brands like Dinan, AC Schnitzer etc. The F1 program is also long gone. BMW M has moved away from what made them so popular. It's all about sales and numbers now. The Chinese market, and social media influencers have really put the nail in the coffin for us enthusiasts. Instead of keeping and expanding their Motorsport program they're moving to a more fashion/status statement. KITH a prime example. Again it's sad but look it's the future of BMW. They're going to continue to sell vehicles no matter if we like them or not. Hold on to your current M cars guys and gals. You own a piece of history.
