I was worried about those grilles, but honestly I’m ok with them. What I absolutely cannot forgive is that sunken BMW badge on the front. My eyes are drawn to it, it’s horrible, and I cannot unsee it.
It’s a pass for me, keeping my tuned M3 until they get their heads right again. On the upshot, I’ll have a classic I reckon.

The M3 was the original sleeper "coupe." Only recently became the sedan in the e9x and f80 variants. I think more differentiated outward aesthetics became completely necessary once they started putting M bades on the 340 and the 440.
I'm not, by nature, a low key kinda guy. I'm all for these aggressive changes.
They are largely marketing to the same people, many of whom spent small fortunes on aftermarket parts over the last 2 generations. They'll likely pull in some AMG consumers as well.
