Is BMW trying to steal some of Bentley's brand identity? (Aside from destroying their own...)

And this is my biggest problem with the new 4 series Edsel/Bugs Bunny grill. If I want class, I need to spend upwards of $100K to get an 8 series as the new 4 series is classless.

No way in hell will I buy the new 4 series and I would not buy the 8 series because I am ticked off at what they did to the 4 series and I won't be blackmailed into doubling the investment.

Hopefully, before my 530e gets too old, they will fire the design director and kill the current 4 series.

My issue with the M8 is the back seat is a bit too small. I can sit behind myself in my M6 on the passenger side reasonably comfortably. But not in the M8 as it has a 1" shorter wheelbase and 2" less headroom than my M6.

So the G22 has enough room, but is ugly and may not have seat ventilation
