You would think so, but it is just okay in person.

At launch they are offering RWD 230 and AWD M240, and will release the other two combos later.

I went through the BMW web page for selecting the model car to select for the configurator tool...

Damn - It just shows how messed up these cars have gotten... For most cars, the kidney grills are WAY oversize or look like meat graters or have chamfered corners... Either way - they are just ugly....

Apparently there is an emerging problem that the grills (at least on the F22/F23s) allow rocks to hit the radiator. (I am hoping they have more protection for the mega grill cars.) Some 2 owners are adding screening behind the grill to try to preempt the problem.

There is a ‘17 F85 X5 M at a local euro independent shop that is owned by a former BMW technician and most of the BMW technicians that were at our local BMW Center now work there. lol Anyways a rock flew up at highway speed and bam it needs a new engine at 40,000 miles. The cost to replace, over $50k for a new S63 with labor.

From the tech working on it. “drained liquid cooled intercoolers connected to radiator”
