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

One aftermarket company has already started planning on producing new bumpers.

Saw that. Wonder what it does to the overall cooling functionality of the original design intent.

There will be quite a few volunteers in the beta program I expect. I can imagine the hassle for the folks who are leasing. You have to store the stock OEM bumper somewhere .

Why bother? Just get a different/better looking car. Way to much hassle IMO.

That's us... not the mainstream. This is for the people who "the looks are growing on me" camp and the folks who have buyers remorse.

The preachers are going off in the aftermarket article. If only someone could tell them that most people who hate the front end don't have access to the poll because they were banned...

I PM'd the dude that started that poll a week or two ago and informed him his poll was flawed because of the censorship banning. He had no idea.

Rumor has it someone who wasn’t banned saw the last couple of posts and went and voted... but it’s just a rumor I heard.

Apparently can still vote on the mobile app, but regardless, like Yoda said the poll is pretty much flawed. They need to put it on the front page and in the General BMW Cars sub-forum so everyone can actually vote and have access since not everyone has the app or know that they can still access it.

Either way, the blind cult that is the G8X forums will still preach the G8X.

It also drives as bad as it looks.

This will haunt your dreams!

Nice try

You put the New 4 grill on a 2 series

I wish it was a 2-series, that car is much prettier

Viewer discretion advised for the below pics






A couple looking at an X5 parked their test drive car next to the 4er and the salesmen asked what they thought of it, they did not respond positively with the woman saying "it looks like my old Audi" and the man saying "the grills are bigger than the X5's!"

[BzsBimmer]

Heck... that grill is bigger than my X7 and that was already stirring the pot back then!

[f80er]

I saw those new 4 series at my local and the grille is abnormally large. BMW is so backwards with whatever they were hoping to achieve with this 'brave(stupid)' design.

[f80er]

Oh and BTW I would fuck with that prior design front end. Just imagine if BMW went that route, you think anyone would complain about that front end?!

[CanAutM3]

I stumbled on this on the front page . What is this, an ///M Aztek? What the f..k is wrong with BMW ///M design these days ?

[Suds]

Yep, that is an ugly girl in my eyes.
What is up with the dented in rear, accident on the way to the photo shoot?

Looks terrible. What's up with that shitty looking "diffuser"?

[TurboSid]

i've never been a fan of the X6 design. The X5 looks great though

Well, to be fair, he also thinks his M3 CS is boring and dated

If he thinks the G8X is gonna be better than the CS, he's in for a treat I'm predicting it now, the press drives will compliment the car at first when BMW invites everyone, but will then be panned by the media when they get their hands on it for proper testing.
