Maybe if I was someone other than Chicago, but this would be a daily driver for me and with our roads, winters, other bad drivers out there (including my wife), not even considering it (think cost of repair too, yes you have insurance but higher the claim the more it goes up, or if its minor and you don't claim it, now its more $$$ out of pocket).

CF roof I would pay for if not standard, considering bucket seats, but the exterior trim is just overkill to me unless you have so much money you don't care (to me that's a nice week long vacation somewhere with the family and I just have to deal with black instead of black/checkered trim

). Also super dissapointed CF interior isn't standard, I think thats the first time on M3 it cost extra, I know Audi, Mercedes, Porsche all charge, but BMW never did. Not sure its even real CF (compared to just plastic with printed pattern). So they added it to steering wheel and now it cost $950??? X3M its still no cost option, makes no sense.

Yes they are glossy black painted as the other black parts on the car.

Most people choose the carbon option not that much because of carbon, but it chages the front quite a bit because of the open intakes you get instead of the grids. Also the diffusor has a different styling.
You can see this good in the configurator if you compare with and without carbon option.

Never really wanted a red car before...until now!

SYT_Shadow · 02-01-2021, 06:21 PM

That TR looks hot!! Damn!

Transfer · 02-01-2021, 06:52 PM

Why do all the G82 look like they sit 1" higher than G80?

It's a lot of $$ for what they give you, I agree. I'm still ordering it for my F97 because I plan a CF lip and want that to match the CF bits up front (will have to match the weave obv). Otherwise, the glossy black looks just fine imho. Anything is better than chrome

Totally agree. The angled tail light design ruins the whole look of the car. If they made them more horizontal like the 8er, it would have been very attractive.

odiesback · 02-01-2021, 07:38 PM

That CF combo is a perfect match for SPY with the yellow touch.. not sure about a high contrast two color blue/yellow seat on any other car color. That's just me

Looks amazing.. like the OP, I liked the grill. I was ready for a change of the design sameness.

Yes. Curve on the tail light is a signature of this design debacle. The most visible detail on the car that ruins everything else.

Thanks for posting. Was hard to hear the M3 with the tie fighter flying so close overhead.

M3 Piotr · 02-01-2021, 10:08 PM

Looking good, but these front wheels will need some massive spacers. They seem to be tucked in a lot.

bm323 · 02-01-2021, 10:12 PM

I see people walking about, lingering around and checking out the G8Xs - anyone knows why reviewers can't test the cars? Covid reason again?

These are Pre production models. Maybe these aren't in a shape to be put through their paces on track. It should be anytime soon. The BMW Performance Center will receive a couple of them in the next months for customer deliveries so I am sure cars will be tested by the media very soon.

It is not! It is nice when Asian car has Asian design. I don't like when Asians copy European design neither. I want BMW looks like BMW not like Nissan or Kia. And yes, BMW is better car than Nissan and KIA. Is that racist too?

Being better in something is racist. I have learned something new today.
