That's my plan!

They did ban a lot of people complaining about the F80 when it first came out.

Sounded like crap compared to high revving E90, difficult to handle and lack of steering feel were the biggest complaints.

Ok, arguably, they are packing some additional performance into the G8x (for those who are not interested in or are ready to move away from a 6MT), but what market segment is crying out for bigger grills, bigger/heavier all-wheel drive cars with Telsa-esque dashboards?
My M4 Heritage Edition means even more to me now...considering they completely trashed the entire heritage of the of the M3/4 with this G8x monstrosity. Maybe calling it the "Heritage Edition" was their sublimal way of letting us know that the "heritage" was ending there?

Right? Couldn't agree more.

Wait! There is a G80 forum?! Glad I didn't step in it, heaven knows how hard it is to get off your shoe.

Why would you want to get unbanned from the G80 forum to begin with?

I have no idea how to get unbanned other than make a new account....but there are spy shots of an early H8x mule already:



Hahaha....I'm surprised any number of actual car reviewers aren't banned as well or the links to their videos taken down, let alone on the front page. For me I would only bite if there was a literally facelifted (grill-lifted?) cs version with manual or DCT at some point. I don't like the feel of the VF in the M5, won't like it here. Don't like that the manual only in the base model. Expecting my ban at return of normal Bimmerpost business hours Monday AM.

I can't recall a single enthusiast-oriented car having this level of unanimous disgust about the design of something so easily changed. There are so many renderings online which look not only great but entirely realistic. Just make it look as much like an M8 as possible and you have a winner.
The rest of the car is equally fucked up, it needs an entire body kit. All the way from the full size truck mirrors, to the power dome less hood, to the indistinguishable from a Lexus rear end the car is trash.
