I chose like but I actually love the design. I thought the 4 series concept looked amazing and the new M design is pretty damn outstanding IMO and that M performance quad center exhaust just put it over the top for me. With that said, I was looking to replace my F80 with an M4. But, I am disappointed at how tame the G82 M4 looks compared to the M3. I was hoping for more pronounced rear quarter panel flares. Maybe when I see them in real life, I'll change my mind. But right now, looks like I'll be getting another M3 in about 2 yrs.
With respect to the grille haters, I don't know. People are funny. They complain about how designers copy one another and how car X looks like car Y and so on and so forth. Then when BMW does something bold, that doesn't really look like any other car but yet is unmistakably BMW, they lose their minds. SMH. I chalk it up to a lack of an open mind.
