Not sure what is making BMW go for such garish designs. That quad 4 center exhaust is really something left for the more supercarish bunch...the M cars were usually a bit, how would you say, muscular tame? Crazy! I guess the good thing is that if you get it specced out like this from the factory, all you need is a drop and you new G8x M looks totally modded with a factor warranty.

The G8X to me doesn’t sound truly equal length, it sounds like the pipes are closer in length than S55 but not equal. I’m not an expert on it but all the equal length systems I’ve heard (whether 4 cyl or 6 cyl) all have a natural “smooth” and “full” quality. The clips of G8X still sound hollow and one-dimensional like a stock S55, albeit a bit less hollow

Where's censorship when you need it. This is criminal.

Ok thank god! I wanted to get the AA EL mid pipes but wanted to hear it in person first just to be sure it was really as good as people say it is. I just don't trust the YT influencers but I do trust the folks on this forum to be more honest.

Edit: Whoops meant to reply to your earlier comment, but all this is happening in real time haha. Yeah the AA EL mid-pipe sounds much different than the supposed stock "EL" S58. I would expect a truly EL S58 to sound similar to EL S55, which is already similar to N54/N55/B58 - Stock S55 and Stock S58 (based on what i've heard) does not sound anything like that stock.

Interesting what they've done there...
The have highlighted the non-grille lines on the front end to make a pleasant and aggressive shape stand out that completely draws the eyes away from the nostrils. They have effectively disguised the hood "vents". Then they have put a character line through the door handles where it should be. They've done a similar job on the rear end. I'd say that this is basically a 'high end makeup job' ... good for magazine photos, but you always know what's underneath. Unfortunately, it seems to need 'gold bling' to distract the eye. I doubt you could do a subtler version of this makeover. Last edited by pbar; 03-04-2021 at 12:25 PM.. |

This time a "regular" 4-series and a 2er but I think the point is clear.

It’s so very obvious that the influencers on YouTube are getting paid on some way. They are doing ALL on YouTube to get paid with subscribers sponsors etc. It’s so damn obvious that they are trying to manipulate people as they are not as good at it as network TV. They all have the same narrative; the grill isn’t that bad and then try to find something positive. Such the lights, smoked reflectors, carbon bits, or say wait to people mod it. Every one of them has uttered weight, size, and numbness. They will say nothing but good things as BMW is obviously doing “something” as they all say the exact same thing. If it was so freaking great you would not have to make excuses for its looks. It would be “forget the looks this thing is mega” etc… Instead, we are looking at smoked reflectors and the ramblings of idiot savant wanna be YouTube car reviewers on a test drive to the local Dennys.
