Definitely a change in design language from the more conservative, subtle E36 and E46, to the angrier/menacing generations afterwards.
I have to say, I got into BMWs during the later years of the E46 and fell in love with the concept of a stealthy coupe with details you have to do a 'double take' to recognize, with the subtle hint of the M colors on the badging. Something about it being only recognizable among those who knew, and for those who didn't, it was a fun way to show people the small details. Miss those days.
For better or for worse, the changes between a regular series and M car now are much greater. It's nice to show people what you have, but it's a shame that 'mystery' is gone.
