I for one am glad to see people in the sphere of the automotive press not participate in the regurgitation of BMW marketing simply because BMW told them to and/or put them up for the trip (this 2nd part we have no confirmation of as it pertains to TH). While the exterior gag was over the top I'd still mark it as a showing of integrity. Something that's sorely lacking elsewhere.

SG is my number 1 channel, but I'm starting to dismiss them more and more because they appear to be "hating" new stuff no matter what. The fact of the matter is that it isn't the 80s or 90s anymore and all of these reviewers need to get over that fact. I'm tired of hearing lamenting comparisons to 20 or 30 year old cars.

To add, I just hope they watch the others and read this forum and don't pull the "G87 4th gear challenge."

And as much as I love SG and I’ll be interested in their take on the car, if they do trash it I won’t be canceling my order for a G87 with a manual unless I’m unimpressed after I actually test drive one myself. Taking in diverse opinions is great. But at the end of the day I know what I like and what I want out of owning a car.

When I am late to pick up the kids from daycare/soccer practice: So listen, here is the trick! What I do is I drive 15mph under the speed limit...then here is the cool part... I UPshift into 4th gear... wait for it... then I floor it! 60% of the time, it works every time. needless to say, i am often late to pick them up because I don't know how gearing works

For shits and giggles, when I drove my 2020 M2C today, I put it in my M2 setting (Sport+ motor, comfort steering) and tried the same set of driving parameters as the G87 in their review.
1. 2nd Gear, 20 mph, the car shoots out like a rocket as it is in boost. 2. 4th Gear, 30 mph, the car is around 2k rpm, torque builds quickly & you're able to ride it all the way up through the gear. I counted about 5 seconds from 30 to 50 mph. It doesn't bog down and it feels more than adequate to pass other cars quickly. I love the 6 speed in the F87C. TL-DR: The S55 is geared towards low to mid range punch. The S58 is geared towards high end power.

Reviews are not that great about steering feedback either. Same typical numb with heaviness.TH even reported that it is a regression. I wish BMW put some more effort in steering feedback.
