It's lack of success will further the narrative that no one wants sedans and no one wants manuals when in reality it is simply no one wants something this ugly.

It's ugly, but maybe it will grow on me like the Giulia did (though the proportions of the Giulia, nose aside, are wayyyy better).
Anyway, I'll be interested to see how it drives. Might be a viable option to replace the F80 at some point. I can always do that tuner thing where I drive with the intercooler exposed. |

Ugh. That makes me sad.
Is it me, or is it not really all that different from the the F8X except for the ugly part? It's a smidge more modern and maybe more muscular, but that's all dwarfed by the new ugly. |

If I ever replace the F80 with another sedan, it is almost certainly going to be an EV.

BMW just continues to be a bigger and bigger joke.
