G82 and E46 side by side

[CachacoE46]

I parked next to a brand new G82. Beautiful color. The size difference is very noticeable. The looks...well...

I still don't get why the 3 series became the 5 series.

This shit is just gargantuan. For comparison’s sake, the e46 m3 is 177”, an e70 x5 is 191”, g82 is 189”.

Sounds right. After I parked I realized it was longer on both ends and by quite a bit.

Looks more akin to an Audi than a BMW, especially the greenhouse shape and c-pillar (and lack of Hofmeister kink).

Hadn't seen that tweet. Poor judgment by BMW.

Who is the supposed target audience for the G82?

Teenagers and pretentious a$$holes...at least according to BMW.

Sure, it's bigger, but maybe that makes it more spacious/practical? still fits in that parking spot

Saw the car multiple times in person, drove it. Its drives....fine. I didn't have a chance to really push it, but it drives like any turbocharged car - powerful, numb steering, very cushy. Reminded me of a lot of AMG models. It looks like a complete garbage, though.

A bit different price range and utility, though.
