The reilly weird thing is I remember how much better the standard stereo sounded in the M4 CS over the HK. That I never could figure out. |

From what I gather, the CS ended up with a hybrid sound system similar to the HK in the F83 convertible, with the digital amp but with less speakers. So not quite as good as the full HK in the coupe and sedan, but better than the mid range Hi-Fi and base systems. Interestingly, the fact that the speakers are hidden behind the lightweight door cards seems to enhance the sound.

So back on topic...
I did reach out to a moderator on BP and asked about the issue of being banned on the G8x board. He pointed out that a sticky post had been made https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1745573 which says "This is a warning to anyone who's in this section to troll, incite or soapbox (repeating your negative opinions over and over). If your posting pattern/history shows such behavior, you will be removed from the section and/or site, and with no warning/infraction." Per that, if the moderators felt that you were repeating your negative opinions over and over, you are out - no warning, no notice. I personally did not know about this - and it kind of makes sense (as a plausible explanation for what happened) BUT - regardless, I love this thread - so thank you MFNATIK for starting this thread - I feel like anything goes (subject wise) and it is fun.

That makes sense if the G8x forum is curating posts AND MEMBERS so as to present a majority positive view of broad member opinion. But maybe there's another explanation not yet stated?

(7.) Release a new slightly bigger M2 with an attractive front end, 485+hp, under 3700lbs, RWD, & 6MT as a spiritual successor–hopefully.

The cars are already listed as in stock on the website for US military personnel stationed in Europe, though they may just be on order. I can get an M2 CS for the same money as an ugly new M3 Comp. |

Honestly if the new M2 had 6MT, adaptive suspension, HUD, RWD, have some decent exterior/interior colors, didn't look fugly and it had 450+ HP/torque, that *could* be amazing as an F82 successor!

I've mentioned this in another thread, though; the fact that you have to pay extra $330 for power folding mirrors on a Taycan or $500 for front seat heaters on a $85k Cayenne S is frankly ridiculous. I know Germans are notorious for this, but it's gotten better in the last 10 years, yet Porsche is still really milking its customers (who are all eating it because what else to do) as they love profit margins more than common sense. On the other hand, the polar opposite of having no optional equipment or just one or two equipment packages is also bad, though.

Looking at BMW USA website, they make you pay extra 4k if you just want one of the options from the package because there's no other way, like adaptive LEDs or better audio. Porsche's strategy is the same in America as in Germany, but Audi, BMW and MB offer options in packages mostly, which is different than in Germany and most of Europe.

Audi does options the worst in my opinion. I'm not sure if they still do it, but to get ACC in any car usually you are required to option the most expensive trim/package which leads to a huge jump in price, and then most dealers option the trim just below that without ACC.
