In other words, it isn't a BMW HUD problem.

Yep, HUDs have this problem, as do various kinds of displays that emit polarized light. A physics thing, not a BWM thing. Non-polarized sunglasses exist for this reason.

we don't need anymore review videos of the new car or day in life with the new car. we want more content of car mods, maintenance, motorsports, etc.

I guess point of reference of whats tiny coupe can only go so far for people his age. Those who were around buying cars when E30 Coupe was around as cheap used toy, probably G87 is massive. For those who are like below 30 I suspect the G87 indeed would appear quite small.

And if you want to go to extreme, visit a museum where 1920s cars are. Those were not uncommon to see based on a truck chassis. 1930s cars had 19in rims like who cares, and massive sidewalls. Things are all pretty relative. Today cars have so much power that weight alone tells not much. Sadly car companies figured out it is way cheaper to make a powerful engine rather than build the body out of carbon fibre and put a small engine and get same result. Heck, BMW tried that approach with I3 and I8 (and now IX). Didnt work on mass scale.

That's a great, simple review, and the only one I could find that shows the new M2 with the sunroof and not the optional carbon roof, which I think is ugly, except on the black cars, of course. I can't stand that two-tone roof look.

I wish BMW hadn't gotten rid of the slick top, but I'd go sunroof on the G87, for looks alone. That ID8 dash, though .... what a tech nightmare.

BMW USA, specifically. Other countries have the slicktop as standard or an option.
