I'm just here for all the "people bashing" and "complaining how it looks" comments! 🤣

looks better then I was expecting, shocked by the weight though. Being able to go 40 miles on electric is kinda cool, at least you're getting that trade-off. The engine should've been like 620hp though to better offset the porky batteries, what is this 585hp nonsense

bowers and wilkins system standard is nice, rear axle steer as standard is nice.

Seriously why the plug in hybrid ?!

They should do full v8 motor indeed.

Also why they decide to remove “competition” ?

Overall all exterior looks nice and it’s growing on me

and the interior is good except,

the gear shift, couldn’t they just invent a new design for M gear shift ? Or just use the original M gear shift ?!!!

Plus the M Decal in the I drive controller looks like aliexpress martial did not like it at all.

BRING BACK PURE M POWER TO US BMW 😅
The reason why no Comp on M2 and M5 is because the cars already start at a higher level. So instead of having a base, then replaced by Comp and then a CS, they just went straight to the power and handling of a Comp.

There is very little a Comp would add to this package. The CS, a different story and it's likely it will get one at some point.

Sad day when current M2/3/4/5 are all just not traditionally beautiful in any way whatsoever. Then layer the XM on top of that and just wow, I still don't know how the design chief has his job.

Get an M8 while you can...

Why are you here if none of these cars appeal to you? Can't be for the company.

Was in the market for a sporty SUV (was waiting for X3 M50) or potentially summer car in M240i which looks better in person. But new X3 is underwhelming too, went another direction.

Just some comparison with how F90 was received back in 2018..

https://f90.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1414257

There will always be people resist to the change and dislikes on the design. People were impressed with the F90 weight/ performance for the most part

But so far thru the pages of the comments on this post I’d say G90 is def having it worse LOL.

I’m sure I won’t need to dwell on the topics of weight/ 0-62/ looks (honestly looks okay to me) other enthusiast will do it in the comments for me…

Here’s to also hope BMW solved all the electrical issues/ gremlins from the XMs so all the eager expected owners won’t be having their new G90 in the dealership for service too often
(Check out how XMs were doing… with check engine lights and constant issues )

Got to love BMW model premiere posts. Let's just skip to November for the "first" buyer to see what the G90 really is like instead of reading specs off a BMW release spec sheet (which is always underrated and sandbagged anyway...).

Dude, it looks mean as fuck in black. A proper missile. And it looks properly stanced from the factory. I still don't get the whole weight thing, nobody is setting lap times with M5s, you're taking it to dinner, shopping with the wife, a canyon blast or two, and maybe do a track day because of how impressive the car actually is to drive. Good grief.

All I can say about this whale is that I wish the look was the issue :-)
I like the look but the weight? sure, it's a saloon car but it was always a nimble saloon and now it's gone. I am sure M engineer did good job dealing with it so the car will feel balanced but they can't hide the weight.

oh ok the carwow guy said 40, either way its a neat function to have. Shame the weight penalty is so severe but I'm sure its all located very low in the chassis, M engineers are good at hiding weight

M Division cleaned up the ugly and made it look great, just one thing, the rear diffuser seems off.

That rear diffuser looks like a cheap, knock off, after market part.

Also realized this car is 5.5” longer than our G05!!

Finally, why no M5 competition??!!!?
Will there be a competition? Does anyone know? They either fudged the numbers so bad for the performance and it’s gonna crush the F90 or we are getting a comp version eventually right??

Carwow said there won’t be a competition but you never know

I was thinking the 0-60 time could be after the battery is depleted if they want to be conservative. We have an x5 45e and when the battery is dead you really feel the weight of the car and it’s def slower as a result.
