There should be no compromise on brake calipers for such a premium car. And I also hope they don't repeat the same mistake with the visibility of the exhaust belly. I suspect the bumper and rear splitter will be built over to conceal it
Given how these test mules and leaks go, I think we will have much better pictures in the next 2 or 3 months. The model pictured so far doesn't have flared wheel arches, no M rear view mirrors etc etc

SCOTT26 Can you share anything around whether the M3 and M4 will diverge in styling with the M3 retaining 3 series design elements instead of the like F8X generation which shared the same front end with the M4
personally would like to see the M3 be differentiated from the M4 |

The Active Tourer has been especially healthy profit wise that has contributed and enabled all number of projects to be assisted across the entire Group. The arrival of UKL based BMW shared with MINI has enabled MINI to be profitable since its modern conception. The MINI profits were virtually non existent and money was made back by the available to personalise with accessories. UKL based MINIs/BMWs have exceeded projected targets for 600,000 units. Add the upcoming F40 1er and 2er Gran Coupe for further success. The costs shared with BMW now show alongside with the profits from personalisation programmes. Now there is strong debate but no final decision with Mercedes/Smart to assist BMW/MINI For future models.

Either way the cost would be too high for a 3 series.

The Giulia QV makes 510hp with 2.9L. What makes you think BMW cannot get that output from 3.0L without water injection ?

They releases the M2C with the eyesore, they’re testing the G80 with the eyesore, so it’s reasonable to believe that the final product will have the ass udder as well. As cntzl said earlier in the thread, I too am hopeful that the M2C was an aberration with the udder, but that’s likely optimistic to the point of insanity.

Front hood lines look really aggressive, same with side skirt and body panels.
F80 is the best looking sedan ever, IMO, E90 was also a great looking sedan....liking the G80 as well, I have trust that it will continue the aggressive sedan looks of it’s predecessors. Negatives - Muffler/exhusat needs to be hidden/moved, no way that is acceptable, I found the F80 muffler a little too revealing for my taste and this is MUCH worse. The fenders? That attached piece needs to go, it is an eyesore. 6MT in each model RWD/AWD |
