The engine cooling is good though, arguably right sized for top speed etc the driver of an M car would expect...
Honestly what a clown.

Never experienced that on any of mine.
Just google it...
Not just on BMWs but on Fords etc which have it. On those at least you can't even buy individual parts, you have to replace the whole thing. Any moving part at the front of the car is obviously going to clog up with dirt eventually. Just got to hope it doesn't fail closed and overheat.

Google experience? Nah it’s okay space cadet.
You've just told Fox he is wrong, saying he has had no problems, as google says so.

I was on ignore before, i can take enough from the fact you've replied
Flattered I'm normally providing for you though.
Looking at the M4 competition, obviously it's 4WD, but the weight is surprising at 1725kg. I assume thats the carbon roof, as they also have a glass panoramic roof option this time.
I think the previous F82 M4 was around 1580kg. E92 was 1650kg ish
These cars are almost has heavy as the older M5s now.

Probably still less drag than a completely solid front though, depending on the path the air takes as it exits (e.g. through the wheel arch "vents")

Serious question, how much miles do you do yearly?
I ask this as there is always a misconception about how cars have been on the reliability side of things with things such as parts failing. Someone may have owned a car for 4 years and only done 7000 miles in those years and another with the same model may have done 50k miles in the same period of time.
At discrepancy of where they are driven you will expect the one with high mileage to have had more problems. Saying that, it usually is the case.
maybe, only part of the surface of the grill is used for cooling, the rest is diverted, always, in an aerodynamic fashion,;
for the active part of the grill, if that was diverted aerodynamically when not needed for the engine that would be a double win,
although at high speed, where drag is highest, you probably need the engine cooling.

Joe's video on these is quite good. I'm not sure, I said I didn't like the new 135 when it came out but I like it now i've seen it. Joe was saying the same about the M3/4 in the flesh so I will reserve judgment till I see one, love that green though.
Bit of a mute argument though, i'm never going to buy one, might end up with a new 1 series though.

I don't think I've seen a more ugly BMW?
The base spec X1 looks better than that thing
I can only assume the designer had some inspirtation, it didn't come off, and they ran out of time
That said, the first thing I thought of when I watched that video was that it seems to find itself in the wrong era
Sales will do the talking

It will sell just like the previous generations did and they were far from pretty.
Most people will put up with an ugly car if the performance is good. I wouldn't though, I like to be able to look out of the window and see something nice looking, not a pig face

It'll be sold out initially even without offers. The F80 is so old now and it clearly shows inside.
They might use a decent interest rate if they predict a high GFV though. 2.9% maybe or even 0% due to Covid.
