Can’t help but feel (EV or not) that this is the reaction M cars should be getting.
No smoke, mirrors or marketing BS here, just people getting on with making cars that blow you away…. Got me thinking about what I’m actually paying for these days.

The drawing looks good, but they usually do. The drawing always show the cars stanced without consideration of global safety standards like front bumper height, etc

Amen. I sat and waited in the wings after selling my E46 M3. I waited and waited for something as aesthetically pleasing with performance to match. Yes, performance AND looks matter to me.

I jumped at the F87 Comp when I saw the renders of the G87 ( &#129314 & I quickly fell in love. It’s still not as special as the E46, but it’s definitely as close if not better on the smile meter. At this point, I will likely keep the F87 for the foreseeable future. I still regret selling the E46…

I’m not going to lie. I was at a BMWCCA meet on Saturday and one pulled in and my wife and I couldn’t believe how it didn’t really look like a BMW.

I hope ///M can pull something out of their magic hat to change something bland into something truly exciting… 🤩

I feel like the biggest disappointment are the headlights. Not only do they look like a 2GC, but they have the lamest DRL's I've ever seen on a BMW.

I would switch to a less dominant strain of whatever it is you’re smoking. I can’t see the resemblance no I am sorry clearly I’m smoking the wrong shit.

Air Curtains. Actually looks like the outside front bumper of the Lucid Air.

Shit! I knew it was a bad idea.. he told me it was purple kush! Oh well.. it’s good! It makes newer BMWs look like Star Wars characters or it the case of the G80 it makes it look like the head of a Cicada
