People did grow to like the G8x, I love the S58, just not a fan of the design language choices mated to it and that’s okay. They have a road presence but in person still don’t do it for me look wise, drive wise of course it’s better, that’s engineering over time.
I can sit here and look at a new 718 and say “wow I really like this design” from me looking at it on an iPhone then see it in person and become a child again. I don’t feel that same sensation for the more recent BMW lineup but I do appreciate their engineering boundaries that they keep pushing with each new generation.

Sounds like im taking with both sides of my mouth, but I agree with you regarding newer bmw design is foucus more on engineering and functionality rather than “awe” factor.
I especially loved the design of m6gc, it had a superb design and the real head turner, but really pain in butt while driving on high way, steering was sucked.
I couldn’t make myself buy a m8gc though, the design, especially from side is pretty meh, and nothing especial. Just a big sedan.
At the same time, people are buying more and more BMWs, it means that they are doing “something” right.
And we are in minority!
