pretty ugly to me if it actually looks like this. Renders have been pretty accurate lately.

Thank goodness the 8 series kept the small slim kidney grills. The 7’s giant grills were designed to cater to the Chinese market and BMW in their infinite wisdom figured the rest of the world would accept them…wrong!
So what does bmw do? They then put giant nostrils on the new 3 and 4 series which nearly everyone despises.
Let’s hope the rendering you posted is off and BMW fixes these atrocious things.
The 8 series is also getting a facelift for 23 and it appears the smaller traditional kidneys remain from what we’ve seen thus far in the camoed cars.
I’ve been very pleased with my 8 and I’m not the easiest to please when it comes to highline items.

The 8 series is one of the best looking current gen BMWs. After owning my GT53 i really wanted something more spacious so i had to pass on the 8 series.

Thanks, too bad you’d have loved it.

If you do get addresses:: send the letter "return receipt request"

Secondarily:: will this influence you to keep a car (the previous one) longer ?
{That is: a well running older car is a lot nicer than a newer one with gremlins.}

2021 is a bad year to have a lemon. If I let them take the car back, I lose a car that I ordered precisely as I wanted it. And then, I'd not only lose the great lease deal I have on it, but would have to pay through the nose for a new car. If they can fix my "old" 2020, I'd keep it for the remaining of the 3-year lease.
