Agreed.

Disregarding the drivetrain and purely based on design. Yeah, I think so. I don't know that I would call it great design but I really like the proportions. It does have some short-comings. To me it's even more of a departure from the "classic" BMW design but that doesn't bother me...as you know. As is though, with the drivetrain, IDK. I haven't bought into the whole BEV thing, yet. I am excited to see what it can do though. As things stand right now, I'm waiting to see what the other M3 (mild hybrid) will bring to the table…assuming the VDX is the electric version of the M3.

That's a great question. Yes and no. I was curious to see where this direction would take them...alas, doesn't seem like I'll get to see that. On the other hand, this will make the G80 really unique as the last pure ICE M3 - avant-garde design and all.
The next M3 is the G84 and that's not too far off from G80...maybe we get a part deux. Who knows...
What about you? How do you feel about the future/VDX?
