    LOL it's not 500 lbs over last gen. Even with AWD it's less than 500 lbs over the F8x. It's in line with its fat and fatter rivals from Audio and MB.



    I'm not sassy. The guy that tries really hard to be funny and laughs at his own jokes can make for awkward discussions at times. I'm sure you are a good dude and I never take this stuff personally nor should you.
    I dunno man, you seem to be the one taking this personally. BMW tripped over its dick with the new M3/M4...its just the way it is.

    Look... Either this track test was conducted and sanctioned by Consumer Reports, or, it wasn't. That's the true test of validity, here.
    would rep you if I was able to.

    calling someone fat on the internet is only an insult if they are verified as an actual fatty

    Shut up! I'm going to use this as proof to get early vaccine. This counts as journalism nowadays.

    Apparently Chris Harris just picked up a CS, and the competition owners are almost as salty about it online as the people convinced the G80 isn’t “that bad”.

    You can't post that here as M2's don't count as the new look since they still look good. Only M3 / M4 / 4 series / that electrified horror

    You need to start a new thread 'The Old BMW Look'

    Well let’s put it this way... Chris Harris has every means to buy any of the new ones, but bought another old one anyway.

    Probably feels the same way about it being the last BMW that’s any good.

    I get the grill hate but all the road tests say it's more capable than the F80 without the bone jarring ride (Porsches get lauded for this) and they improved the steering which was a real sore point with the F80. It's better in every way than the car it replaces outside of the objective styling and it's still the only car in this range you can still get with a manual transmission. There are a lot of cars to hate on today but I just don't think this is one of them as it's the one of the last of a dying breed of sports car. I don't think the 400Z looks great and I wouldn't buy one but I still want cars like that to succeed because we are going to miss vehicles like this when we are all driving EV's that are all fast in a straight line and are devoid of personality or charm.

    LOL come on dude. Chris Harris owns a 1M and not an M2. Does that mean the M2 sucks?

    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:

    I didn't click the link as when you said CS I thought you were talking F80 M3 CS. I see he actually purchased an M2 Comp in the summer so you are right he does now in fact own two. Still I don't see the correlation to the G8x.

    Also maybe you forgot but the F80 got far more negative reviews than the G80. Chris Harris actually went out of his way to defend it.

    https://www.goodwood.com/grr/road/th...on-the-bmw-m3/

    A comment right from Chris that mirrors my belief as I feel most new models are nearly always superior to the ones they replace;

    As you can tell I rather dislike the older-is-better mantra. In my experience there are very few performance cars which are replaced by inferior products, because the companies that make them are very good at what they do, and the engineers who define them are talented enough to know what is right and wrong.
    You are essentially the guy in this thread that Chris Harris calls out.
