Fenders are a huge win.

But to me the front fascia looks a lot more dated already.

The colors on the doors are to attract rich high school kids

If all the release photos were in ZB as was originally planned, you would see a far more negative tone in these comments.

@blindside_137, It’s a good question - these look busy to me.

I’m sure the tech is better but not sure about the overall interior design changes.

I'm loving it.
Months and months for the people to "warm up" to the G80/G82… 1 week for the G87 :

F87 looks like a toy Barbie car, hate to break it to you. Bubbly, short, soft, safe. I had two and just couldn't live with that vibe.

If this really weighs 3800lbs that's insanity imo.

It’s fair to say that you didn’t like the F87.

On the other hand, it’s bizarre to say the previous model looked like a Barbie car.

Looks just like the leaks, but much better quality pictures and Toronto Red is nice.

I'll still need to see it in person, but it's a drastic change. It gives me JDM vibes, which is not necessarily bad.

The seats look great!

I don't have much else to say, except that I won't be getting on the order list.

I absolutely plan on doing just that. Turned in my M3CS 6 months ago and haven't touched another BMW since then. And BTW I had 5 F80's in 5 years so it's not like I didn't love the brand.

Still looks fucking terrible. Even a multi-million dollar marketing budget can't help this monstrosity. I genuinely hope heads have rolled.

This looks just like the blue leaked one and really not much nicer in red unfortunately. Maybe black ?
