G80.
Still a 6 cylinder if we feel they need kudos for not going to a 4cyl lol. GOOD FOR YOU BMW.
Hideous. Not just “not as good as the previous gen”, it’s hideous. The design is bad. Full stop. Call that subjective all you want but if you actually like the way it looks you “subjectively” have terrible taste.
Dropped the interesting DCT for a zf8 I could get in a RAM pickup. Or literally any other car on the road.
Put on hundreds of lbs of weight.
Not really any quicker without ticking the awd box, and even then you are only really talking about winning in a straight line launch. *yawn*
Frankly the new cars are worse in pretty well every conceivable way. Probably would have been less offensive if they just called them M5Lite*. It’s a cynical car built for... I’m actually at a loss as to who the target market for that car could possibly be, the blind I guess.
*Lite does not imply they way any less than a 5 series boat.
