love the headline " FIRST LEAKED LOOK AT THE G80 M3 " which implies that there will be more..

or.. it's bimmerpost weak moderators trying to make a scoop seem SENSATIONAL...

I mean really... the first leaked images were of the camouflaged nose..
then we had @scott26 on here with leaky comments about the nose...
and then it was the renders of the nose..

and then we had the leaked interior photos... kinda like the 8 series..

now images of the rear.. (reminiscent of the 850 rear end leaks)

next has to be the M mirrors.... or a side view...
then perhaps the front fenders... yawn....

and then finally i presume it will be " leaked" from the dock before a photoshoot..

Why does the glass look tinted?

[crossmen00]

I plan to own a G80 regardless of its appearance, but honestly I think this bodywork looks much cheaper than M340

corrected..



corrected... and also informationally correct wth regards to timing of the competiton model

thus far.. M2 COMP is the only Competition model that has been separated from the base M level by more than 6 months.. M5, M8 have been announced already... X5M and X6M comp coming soon.

It's just marketing anyway, who cares?

because * accuracy* still counts …. at least for me....

you... perhaps you are cool with errors, mistakes, half truths, innuendo, or even straight up lies..

indeed many people these days seem to be ok with that kinda stuff..

Looks like a home made japan kit of 330 to m3 conversion.

Diffuser is ugly and doesn't even fit well

Not to mention skinny wheels....

[Transfer]

Dark tint all around might be for a show car.

Maybe they are teasing us with these shit designs to lower expectations? When the real thing comes out looking good, everyone going to lose their minds and go buy one. Here is to hoping!

All of the recent M cars are looking good, would be a real shame if they botch up the main event

Need at least some 295's on the rear from the factory. BMW rear tires are too damn skinny. Makes the car look like a crocodile running.

the new 2 series " gran coupe" was not a test...
the new 2 series hatchack in the EU was not a test..
the 6 series GT was not a test...
the big grille on the 7 series was not a test...
the even bigger grille on the X7 was not a test...

just sayin...… I don't think you are on the right track..

Gosh, between BMW and Lexus, there is not going to be enough plastic left in the world to produce the CSL lineup.

The Bimmers are getting gaudier and uglier by the model release.

Who the hell is in charge of the design ship at BMW?!

It's definitely a pre-production car everyone needs to calm down, it doesn't have all the final production bits on it.

Conspiracy theories aside, I started this thread with a pic I saw in an M3 CS Facebook group from a Facebook page called Evolve Automotive. The mods changed my headline...for the better.

Sorry, it is not silver, it is like a dark gray.. towards the bottom of the bumper near the diffuser

[stein_325i]

Can BMW please make a proper spoiler instead of these tiny and weirdly designed CF spoilers on the back of their M cars, I mean just look at how small it is on the M8, it looks ridiculous

Not to be too cynical but I can believe it, especially if the front end styling is anything like the Frankfurt Abortion... possibly a really good example of 'Group Think,' i.e., nobody at the early design meetings had the nerve to say, "hey guys, that looks like crap, are you out of your minds!"

If I want to leak G80 M3, I will take multiple photos from multiple angles (such as previous X5M, X6M, M8 leaks). I still don't understand why this photo taker is only interested in the rearview, and one proper answer would be that this is a fake leak directed by BMW to distract us. Moreover, I really think this should not be the final production design because at least BMW should make M3 looks more expensive than M340
