Anyone else get banned from the G8X section for making fun of its looks?

[NSX2M4]

I think I'd get on board if the G82 looked "something" similar to this Darwinpro body kit.
I'd never buy an aftermarket body kit but, if the factory made something like this, I could look back at it...

The color is Tactical Green, and a hideous color at that. Saw one in person and the shade of green reminds me of vomit.

I wish I could dig up F80/2/3 sales from years back to compare, but I'd say the numbers now are higher as the whole brand's sales have gone up here. I just saw an IOMG/Kyalami G80 Comp as I was walking from work; thankfully, it didn't crash into me as green G8x's like to do.

I think BMW could get way with scrapping the regular 4 Series Coupe and even probably the two-door 8 Series. The Gran Coupes were bestsellers in the previous generations and I'm quite sure that the Audi A5 Sportback is also outselling its 2dr A5 sibling.

Non-M E92s were popular, lots of 320s and 325s around, but I've yet to come across a base G22. If it's a non-M 4 Series I see, then it's a fully-loaded Gran Coupe.

They still haven't got any better looking, I'll tell you that. But people like them or just ain't care.

Well, Audi cars apparently attract a lot of girls soo.

You know what I also see a lot of? RAV-4s. The new ones and old ones.

Pretty decent actually, but takes a ton of work/$$$ to look barely representable. Notice they cover up a nice portion of the grills with the DARWINPRO plate too hah.

I like the polestar design

at least it went down appropriately. the PO (not sure if the kid sold it yet) of my Grigio Telesto F80 crashed it in no time. it was fully xpel'd.

Oh no question... I used to have a Taitec GT body kit on my old NSX. It's all garbage, body kits that is. Photography is a wonderful trickster...

Mine was fully clear bra'ed too.

I figured something happened when he posted he got another car. But he confirmed later to me in PM on IG my former car was totaled.

As you approach the corkscrew there is a positive elevation change, then a plateau before it drops to the left. If you are going too fast and don't shift the weight to the front as you reach the peak, you lose brake effectiveness in that short brake zone.

That being said, I wouldn't want a picture of my car wrecked on the top of the corkscrew to get around unless I had track insurance.

If I ever drive on that track, I'll be sure to show you.

So just for fun I spec'd out a GT3. Don't even know why since it's not in my price or availability bracket - but this is how I'd have it. $24k in options tho... holy shit do they add up quick

Not wrecked, just stuck in the gravel. Pulled out and drove away.

No front plate means it could be anyone’s yellow GT4.

24k is nothing.

30-40k is where it's at :P

$24k and you still wouldn't have auto-dimming mirrors.

Got up at 4:15am to chase the sunrise, drove 95 miles on deserted back roads, got back home at 7am and had it all cleaned up inside & out by 10am.
I don't say this, like, ever, but I was pretty content and happy that day thanks to this car (and the summer weather).

@AlterZgo - how are you liking your tune for the 992S? Playing with the idea of getting one.

Not sure if I've ever mentioned this in this thread, but E-tron (étron) translates very badly in French. Seems like this one has the colour to match .
