If they fuck this up like they did with the G8X then im really gonna start questioning the path BMW is taking without Albert Biermann!

My 17 yo son thinks the G80 is an abomination. His first question seeing one was “Why”. I kept silent, didn’t want to influence him. His group of friends are all about retro, cars with character, like the older M3’s, midnight purple GTRs or what have you. Or even a Jeep Wrangler. He drives a stickshift E46 btw. And would like to build an E30 with an engine swap for those extra cool points.

Yes seems like special fenders (a la Mini GP perhaps?).
In any case, a model like that will cost well in excess of $150k which puts it completely out of my price range…

I tend to agree.

It's going to be a M8 CSL. You don't have to be a genius to figure that one out.
It's bs once again from BMW. It would've been nice if they let M do it's thing and show everybody what they really could do with a standalone car. But BMW doesn't have the guts. So they go with an existing model modify it and make us believe it's better than a Porsche GT2 or some dumb sh like that. |

BMW M it's your 50th Anniversary and under absolutely no circumstances are you to build some rolling bullshit.
Banish the bean counters to play video games. Make your current designers for exterior and interior sit in the basement of BMW Classic surrounded by nothing but E9's, E30 M3's, E31 M8 prototype, E46 M3, M3 CSL and M3 GTR, E39 M5's, E26 M1, M1 Hommage, and that damn 3.0 CSL Hommage. Those cars are like the BMW M version of The Force and they need to the let passion that was used to conceive and build them flow through them. And let them find the balance between the light side and the dark side with the culminating inspiration leading to the ultimate BMW M car for the ages. It's entirely possible that none of that would likely happen and it could be an just another car with a lot more M badges and a long story about the essence of BMW M. |

The first car under the cover definitely looks like a wagon or hatchback. Wonder what it could be. Looks a bit too small and curvy to be the G81. Shooting brake would be nice...

I started watching car racing since I was 5 Emanuele Pirro, Joachim Winkelhock and Steve Soper were some of the BMW backed racing heros in that era to consistently win races in the E30 M3 Last edited by Karmic Man; 06-25-2021 at 10:26 PM.. |

I agree, in fact, the F80 might not be the real M3 in the whole lineup. Drives more like a traditional AMG than a ///M in many ways.

Please tell them we don't need another M5 Touring.
I was expecting some special packages F90 M5, but then after CS already unveiled, I see that makes no sense. |

Then your post won't be deleted and his will. Plus he'll get banned from the G8x sub-forum.
