The M enthusiasts who don't like the new design language are trying to send a message to home base via a decentralized, uncoordinated, highly visible negative feedback campaign and are concerned that good sales numbers will validate BMW/Dukec's decisions.

Meanwhile, I've got a dashcam memory card with countless kudos from other drivers/pedestrians. The general sentiment around the design of my G82 concerns me only to the extent that it impacts depreciation; otherwise, I don't care, and certainly not enough to waste time convincing someone of something so subjective and instinctual.

Besides, the car drives so well, I don't think it'll ever lose value quite as fast as some may hope (yes, "hope" - some of you want the data to be bad so BMW can 'go back to normal,' which is at least a somewhat rational thought process). The Nissan GTR was once universally panned for its looks, too; now, it's one of the very slowest depreciating cars on the market.

Why do people think the top one is a possibility given the leaks?

Has Bimmerpost ever front page'd a fake leak?
