I can remember when I was in college I had a poster of my absolute dream car. The car I hoped to buy when I finished school hoping I'd get a good job to afford it. That was the E46 M3 Competition.
Fast forward almost 20 years to today, and I just cannot believe BMW approved this. Will this car be a poster on some young college students wall? I'm really trying hard to like it but it's just so hideous. It's hard to find a good angle that looks good on the M3. Perhaps the rear looks best, but OMG the entire front end is just awful.
What can I can say positive about the car? Well first thing that caught my attention is the seats. They are absolutely stunning. The steering wheel looks just like my M5c but with carbon bits. Very, very nice, and I'm sure this car is going to drive extremely well. All the track tech is going to be lots of fun to use when tracking this, and I'm sure bmw has underrated it's performance like they usually do. Which means it's probably going to put a huge smile on your face when driving at it's limit.
Final thoughts, maybe the front will look better in person, maybe the handling will be so incredible that the hideous front won't be an issue. Maybe this car will sell just as well as previous generation M3s, or better than. Maybe, maybe, maybe. One thing is for certain though I will NOT be getting one, and as a fan of the 3 series and M3 series for decades, I am very disappointed in the design of this iconic car.
