The G87 is going to have to be one hell of a car to have me get over a lot of things on this iteration of the two.
I was talking about the M4

I appreciate the work that BMW does to keep making their cars worse, though. Like...you build the E65 and people are like "wow, this is the worst car you can build, where do you go from here," and BMW really stepped up and showed "we've got so much more to give."

Looking forward to what they do next. The electric GMC Terrain with the face of Red Skull is bad, but I'm worried that it shows they're not innovating as hard in the area of making their cars shittier every generation as they used to.

The F87 could really be my last BMW this time. After 20y and 5 of them I might really be done. I have only been holding out for the G87 but it looks more and more like ugh the time has come.

My next car might be a used idiotic choice after the market stabilizes in a few years. Think manual V8 Vantage.

Does BMW currently produced a prefectly attractive model? Not really…if they did I probably would have traded my F15 X5 last May when the factory warranty expired.
