In fairness, specifically given the context of coming from a 370z, the comment does have at least some merit. Outside of that context, I’d agree with you.

I went from a Clio RS200 to a F30 320d. From a highly engaging, raw driving experience to a mile munching sofa.

As you can probably tell, I never fell in love with the F30 and two years later I got an F87. Although we do still have the F30…

It is an unpopular opinion, but perfectly valid.

As an F87 owner, it’s just disappointment I felt. I couldn’t believe the first photos I saw of the G87. I remember sitting there thinking “well, shit…what now?”.

Equally, I dislike the G42 and still haven’t come round to it. Although I prefer the G42 over the G87.

The rear of an F87 is starting to date. The interior was dated even at launch. But the front and sides are just so good looking still. I showed my non-car girlfriend the two side-by-side (front angle). She said it looks like the F87 would “bully” the G87. Interesting comment, I thought.

I’ve got to go to Porsche to get a better look now, and once I go there, I know I’m not coming back to BMW. So a bit of a silly move from BMW to alienate the majority - particularly in the enthusiast market.
