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

[Sedan_Clan]

So I built one just for kicks.

• M4 base
• Brooklyn Gray
• 19"/20" M Double Spoke bi-color
• Silverstone/Black Full Leather
• Carbon fiber trim
• Executive Package
• Shadowline lights
• M Carbon Buckets
• Extended Shadowline
• Black calipers

$84,050 (...before any hook-ups/price reduction).

Considering my current Nardo Gray Individual M4 had an $80k MSRP without cool options like carbon buckets, I don't think the pricing is bad at all. If I were to subtract that option, the new car would be right in line with the old one as far as MSRP is concerned.

But, a poster said it would me more like 120k, which they said was reasonable to them. That blows my mind that people think that. Think of all the different/better cars IMO for 120-140k than a M4 comp. I thought the same thing as one of the above poster, maybe there will be crazy discounts like teh CS ones to make people think they got a great deal. I don't know what currency she was talking about, but my guess was US$ since I think she lives in the US.

Edit: Built my M3 comp with full leather, frozen Portimao and mostly loaded for 84k. Actually not that bad. The two base interior trims suck IMO. The pricey upgrades aren't much better either. So you can't get a comp pack with a manual?

From what I gather, she’s an Australian living in Dubai. Price could be AUS$

In Canada, the price went up significantly. I built one as I would spec it, not even fully loaded, and it came just shy of the MSRP of my current M4cs. And to think people thought the the CS was overpriced

What on earth is THAT????

I'm sure the peeps over at BMW are thinking
"We aren't winning the 10 best anymore, but our sales are way up - why were we even giving a crap about driving dynamics?"

seriously.

But it has comfort access right?

Thanks, that definitely makes sense then in $Aus currency.

It was in the US anyway, until the 20-30% discounts hit rather quickly here.

I did annoyingly spec one myself to see price.

While the base car did increase in price the options and stuff are still very spartan for the most part. With CCB and Executive plus some other stuff it was about 91k ish for the one I slapped together with Dravite Grey.

So yeah, think the $ isn't US price otherwise BMW lost their mind.

Went to the dealership and saw the new 4 series, I couldn't help but vomit in front of SA. Other customers seemed to be entertained by the sight.

There is nothing BMW about the new 4 series, side profile is awkward and grille is just terrible.

[kyrix1st]

Just a reminiscence of how M engineers used to be.

I will probably do the same thing during my maintenance appointment on Monday at the dealer. I can't wait to either throw up or laugh my ass off!

Yeah, recently went to my local dealer to get a glimpse of the new 4 series.....aesthetically, their is nothing about the car that is appealing. That's just my opinion though. :

I was watching an old NCIS episode and suddenly ... CRASHED E92 M3!

And given that E92 - crashed - still looks fan-fucking-tastic (and 1000x better than the new M4 not crashed), I'm just left wondering: geezus BMW what the fuck happened to you??

The engineers and thought leaders in that video like Biermann embody the spirit of Motorsports. Too bad they are all gone and the result is the G80. BMW M will have a long ways to go if they ever want to come back to the glory days. With electrification around the corner, I don't think we'll ever see the M we all knew and loved. Better hold unto your F8Xs fellas. I doubt there will ever be a more true M car going forward.

[stein_325i]

Went out to the dealers today. It may not be an M, but I found the perfect side by side. We have beauty, and the beast. One is timeless, and includes many historic design elements, the other is just a Lexus/Audi mishmash. The new design direction is horrid, not only compared to its predecessor, but also its competition.

Terrible. That Goatee on the 4 looks ridiculous. I still can't believe BMW is trying to sell this trash.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Just atrocious.
