Here's the kicker. I look at the old E38 7 series and still consider it attractive (20 year old design).

I was bored this morning so I figured I would build a G80. I would tell you my MSRP but I lost interest before finishing.
Im trying to think back but after the F80 was unveiled I think it had much more forum traffic than the G80 is seeing. I mean the F80 section is still a lot more active right now. Am I remembering that right or did it not take off until deliveries started? Last edited by dmk08; 11-30-2020 at 07:32 PM.. |

Anyone needing a good laugh check out the front page. Some members of the G8X forum is having a debate on colors it seems.

It isn't helping that the mods banned so many older forum members that probably could help traffic more. My issue with the G80 has always been the way BMW has handled the criticism, and they still do kind of deal with it the same way. Aka "We know better than you, go away." (I can say far worse but this is about the best I can come up with) Granted they have dialed it back a lot apparently since the whole Boomer fiasco but this car was not popular to begin with. True BMW lovers would see how this car is, a disgrace to BMW's brand. Never mind the performance part, as it would probably pummel everything anyway but BMW has lost more prestige by pushing this dumb design language every where. Biermann is probably laughing his head off watching this disaster of a car being released.

I was at my local dealer today and my SA commented on how beautiful my F82 M4 looked. He told me privately that he couldn't believe how bad the new 4 series looks and that I was lucky to order mine last year.
The showroom interestingly didn't have a single G22 on display (only saw one outside parked grilles facing inward, most likely so no one would see them while driving by). |

It's got a bit of the Cars look to it - once you see that bottom-lipped grin you can't unsee it

That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the new designs. But BMW will face a possibility of annoying existing owners. I would be if I had purchased a 60K car only for it to look obsolete design wise in 3 years.

All the while their loyalest have moved to other brands like... Benz, Audi and Porsche. Which some of us are already doing.

There is coincidence in this statement someone else here should appreciate.

My problem with jumping to a PCar at this point in my life is they don't have one that contends with an M3 Sedan which is what I need. Panamera nor Macan really fit the bill.
