The G8x are literally party crashers! They need to be escorted away by proper authorities.😖

If we needed any sort of demonstration to highlight how BMW lost its touch, this was it. It actually is genuinely sad, the older cars were icons of the era & still are very attractive vehicles, while things now are trendy appliances, nothing more than a number on the financial statements.
Don't get me wrong, the G8x will crush the others in terms of performance, but it's sooo far from inducing a positive emotional response, which is what these cars are all about. F8x is a tough one to improve on, so I understand the extremist standpoint to an extent to show differentiation. E46 & F80 will always be the two I gravitate towards, from both a performance & design perspective

And it's not even the one with the worst *exhaust* note. That'd be the E46's stock tin can.

Thanks btw! The F82 is the only car I’ve ever owned which I love all angles of. To me it’s just perfect nearly everywhere. The *only* thing I’d change are the hips, if it had F80 hips I’d lose my mind lol. |

The most compelling value of the video is a reminder that M3/M4 family over the years created a very loyal enthusiast community.
This community will only continue to grow. |

How about the size/weight of the E30 combined with the engine of the E9x and the drivetrain and looks of the F8x.

I had two as well - Alpine/Dove on DSIIs and an Estoril/Dove sedan on LTWs. Both were 5-speeds. I miss that Estoril more than any car I’ve ever gotten rid of.

That F82 looks so good and that color (green) is fantastic!
Having said that the G8x is just a bad photography subject and will always lose in these battles. I suspect when more people see it in person they will rave about it but it just looks not great in photos especially after the super photogenic F8x series

I am so disappointed with the aesthetics of the G80. Granted, it may perform better, handle better, and may have a faster 0-60 time, but 0-60 is just one of those things I don't worry about. : Yeah, I'm one of those guys that believes in heritage, and the new M is far from it!!
