My hope and guess is they are busy redesigning the front. They cannot afford to screw up the icon of the ///M brand.
I mean, Van Hooydonk would be crazy to have his legacy mirred by screwing up the legend status of the M3. Who would want to be remembered for that? LoL |

They haven't done that despite the front and rear leaking well over a month ago now. Hell, at least de-camo the ring car a little more so we can see the final body lines. The fact that they have done neither of these things suggests that there may be something going on from a redesign perspective. |

I think there's a lot of speculation on whats going on. Seems very odd that we have had the magnitude of leaks and spy shots come out about this car and BMW has not responded by showing the car. Even M's CEO came out and admitted to the leaks - why would they not just show the car at that point? Also, I am not one of these people that hates the design - I just think that if we follow BMW's recent track record, cars that were generally close to being done/production that leaked, BMW has come out and launched a media blitz almost within the week. See the M8, X5M and X6M. |

BMW is handling the release of this car in spectacularly stupid fashion. Some of us don't want to wait almost two years for an indication of what the next car is going to look like. Let alone the fact that they have teased this radical redesign that no one likes. My patience for waiting to see if its even worth waiting further is running out, as I am sure quite a few others are. |

I am one of the people that is very close to pulling the trigger on a 911 because at least I know it doesn't look like ass. I want to give BMW the benefit of the doubt and at least be able to pass judgement on the complete car before deciding to move on. This process with very limited transparency thus far in the game is infuriating. |

As much as I'm sick of this grille topic, it does give me some relief from seeing all these Tesla forum memebers call their Model 3, M3s lol

So I am waiting to see what the M3 looks like since its fast, ideal for future kiddos, and looks good. But if it looks like ass, it will be easier to convince my wife that the GT3 is suitable replacement... |

Nein. The Grilles are here for now. They are not changing a thing. If you think THE 4/i4,M3 and M4 Kidney Grilles are large wait till you see what will be showcased next Influenced by Next 100. Taking key elements and applying them to a production form. And the iX. M. Closed Rooms should be happening in Europe in early 2020.

Exactly, that's why the M3 is such a special car. You get the practicality, and wife acceptance factor, while having effectively a working race car in the garage. I loved going to track days and taking the kid's seats out of the back in the paddock. My biggest concern is that it's getting too big, unlike most I don't have an issue with a grills.

The 4/M4 is still in production and the g8x needs to do its second season of winter testing.. this is nothing new and the timetable lines up with a late 2020 full reveal, with cars showing up at US dealer lots by summer 2021.
