I'm sorry but I can't unsee M3 Touring haemorrhoids

Is that a single piston cast iron caliper on a carbon ceramic rotor?

Who cares...more G-series lameness.

You're talking the shape of the rear bumper? That it looks like it's pooping, or maybe having a baby? If that's it, I agree, it's ugly / dumb looking but I guess if you want to continue owning BMW's you have to get over it. And of course if the cars keep selling they (or at a minimum some folks here) will say it's evidence that people love it. At least judging by the grille discussions.

If you're talking about something else then - sorry for the change of subject. But that's a dumb bumper shape and I just had to say it.

Some primates might find that rear bumpershape attractive....

That's terrible. That is what we call "prairie dogging."

my apologies, yes i am roasting the bumper. i just cannot unsee this. you'd think it's the nose of an odd Japanese 90s car

i thought I only hated the front, but it turns out the rear is not much better.

maybe the side profile is ok? but i can't stand the different sized wheels and different profile tyres, also the front arch appears large while the rear wheel arch appears much smaller (probably for aero, front wheels still need to turn)

Yes, the rear bumper but I'm referring to the G series more broadly. I've moved on from BMW years ago so I'm already over it.

G30M · 07-02-2022, 02:45 PM

just for comparison i dug up direct competitors

G30M · 07-02-2022, 02:46 PM

G30M · 07-02-2022, 02:51 PM

i should be fair, putting the whole side profile up. hmm the shadow is making it worse lol

nerdogray · 07-02-2022, 02:56 PM

Nothing really seems to flow with this design. It's like different pieces from different cars just mashed together.

Totally agree. They say sales were outstanding but just think for a second how much better sales could've been -> had they not pawned people off with the beaver tooth grill across various products. In other words they left money on the table as some customers walked away. The after market companies that make different front bumper clips probably made out like bandits. Consider also that around the same time the beaver tooth grill was launching Alfa Romeo launched the Quatrofoglio (spelling?) V6 twin turbo. IF ugliness sells cars nowadays to the brainwashed MK Ultra sleepwalking masses then German companies are gonna clean up. The problem is many of those same people work for the car makers. What's next fish gills and Guppy grills? And people say the C8 is ugly. I'll take a base C8 anyday over an M3/M4 and the wagon beast thingie.

The MB is overall much cleaner, but the Audi still has a bit of a hemorrhoid bumper. The Bimmer roofline is nicer though, especially where the hatch and rear window share the same angle. Benz rear window arcing down like that and not matching roof/hatch gives me R class vibes.

God I hate that base Honda Civic rear brake caliper. $100k car and they put that thing on it, just unbelievable.
