    F80 got flack, rightfully, for dropping one of the better V8 engines of all time for a 6 cylinder turbo that didn’t ( and still doesn’t) sound anywhere near as good.

    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 weight any less than a 5 series boat.

    At least they made the 5 series bland instead of ugly.

    The M5 is basically a modern day Buick, but it isn't offensive.

    I thought a G80 was a Hyundai/Genesis.

    When in doubt. I’m not talking about Hyundai’s. Safe bet.

    That's your opinion and it doesn't fall in line with all the reviews. You are entitled to it but you keep trying to pass if off as fact. Much better interior, faster, better handling, much better front wheel grip, better steering, better ride points to your opinion being incorrect but you are entitled to it.

    Subjective points of people that have actually driven the car that all seem to agree. What are you using to base your opinion? You have a hate on for the car. It's weird but whatever.

    If you care about any of those things, then the M2 is the better buy.

    And it isn't fat and ugly.

    None of that matters when you have to look at the front end of that ugly thing. It's a rolling disaster and people will stop to point and laugh at. The new M3/M4 is the nerd kid in the class that gets bullied by the other kids for being weird looking. I don't care about the performance aspects of it or what tabloid journalists have to say. First company that makes an aftermarket bumper to remove the lower grill is going to make a killing. I'd still buy an older M3 or new M2 if I was ever to BMW again.

    I’ve already driven a G body M5, and it felt so heavy and soft I couldn’t have cared what it’s magazine 0-60 was. Got out of it and into my much slower C63 which drove far far better which was still a massive car. Maybe the M5 CS is better after shedding the freshman 1500, but I’ll save buying that for when I’m 50.

    I’ll drive the G80 when they are available for a rip at an event, I don’t waste salesman’s time driving cars I’m not going to but, I doubt I will be any more impressed with it than I was the M5 its cloned from. At least on a track I won’t have to look at it for long.

    I already owned one and I did enjoy it. It's a fun car but not perfect. Also it's very fat. Weighs practically the same as the bigger F80.

    I agree with this. There are lots of cars that I'm glad exist, but I would never consider buying and don't really like.

    Let's not pretend that BMWs styling insanity is just an accident, or a new thing. The 3 series was one the last cars to not get hit with the ugly stick. The current 5 series is a snooze in styling and steering feel, but it isn't actively offensive.

    But I mean look at this:

    Yeah, other than pushing others to buy F150s or recommending Fits, do you provide any value to the auto section??

    Similar to the rest of the forum, I provide 14% quality info, 28% falsified statistics, and the remaining 93% emotional bullshit.

    Plus, don't lose any sleep. I hardly feel like we're detracting from Teh Hardkore Auto Contentz when this thread is literally over 300 posts of:
    "I think it's ugly."
    "I agree... Fugly."
    "I like it."
    "You're wrong."
    "Nuh-uhh!"
