Furthermore, SCOTT26 just saw the M3 in person last month, and he reiterated that the grilles are here to stay.
When are we going to see the car then - I am shocked we're going to end 2019 with no indication of what the next gen M3 looks like, when M3 production ended in this year and the G20 has been out for almost a year.
The G20 and the M3 operate on two different product scales. What I mean by that is, the G20's arrival wasn't really a threat to cannibalize M3 sales. Selling the G80 next to the F82 could potentially cannibalize the last few dollars BMW wants to make off of the M4's life cycle.
