Illuminated? It's clearly for the Chinese market then. I'm talking about the grille on the iX. I wonder what's next, an electric X6 with this grill, the pinnacle of ugliness?

Compare that with the M2 which is a looker and a badass car.

Speaking as an M2 owner (and an E36 owner before that), can confirm it's an excellent looking and performing car--arguably the last "enthusiast" car BMW has produced.

I'm also pretty annoyed with the current direction, and if I get another car (performance or otherwise) it's very unlikely to be a BMW.

Likewise, I just picked up a 2021 M2 which I heard will switch to something new in 2022. I love the car. You can feel all of the engineering and craft in the driving experience.

The G87 will be bigger, heavier, and more powerful (B58 or S58 likely), but will definitely lose the feel the F87 platform has. It's a shame :(
