I am bias but M4 looks increasingly like a future classic to me. Such great lines.

New M3 looks badass for sure. Can't wait to see in person.

Excellent pictures thanks OP.

This one is a nice comparison of subtle styling vs the the new ultra aggressive direction.

I think the F82 comes out of this very well.

Still looks ugly as sin. The front side by side is laughable.

I suppose if you can't say anything nice about something, don't say anything at all...with that said, the F82 looks stunning as always.

The new one may look more aggressive, but I don't equate aggressive with better.

I'm sorry...seeing these two side by side makes the new model look worse³. -end story-

We get conditioned to think it's dated and the G8x is new school etc... But sheesh. These photos are clear IMO, the F82 is better looking than the G8x from the front.
This experiment would be really interesting but let me say, the G8X platform just doesn't photograph well AT ALL...it is menacing in a good way in person..also, some might think the F82 is the latest until they look inside...Day and Night difference..BMW knocked the new interior out of the park..

Pics with F82 side by side to G80 is apples to oranges. Throw the same mods (tint, massively lowered, splitter, expensive wheels...) on the G82 and then let's talk which looks better. In this thread though the F82 looks great.

This. Everyone does the comparison of the F8x with the older headlights. I’ve maintained that the f8x LCI2 stands up very well against this car in terms of aging.

Put a M4 or m3 cs next to this and I know what I’d choose. I have to see this car in person the g8x but nothing about it in pictures has even remotely made me second guess my decision to go with the m2 cs

Again, yes the interior is next level. I think the g8x is going to come down to use case. If you want the newest bmw to daily drive and do touring, that’s the car to get. If you want to clout chase with IG followers and straight line speed, the g8x. If you want to do canyon roads and twisties the f8x platform is incredible.

I don’t think this new design is going to age very well and it saddens me that THIS is likely the last Fully ICE m3 we’re going to get.

Lastly, that all said it’s clear there are individuals on this board and in general this new design resonates with. I for one am not one of them but if you are, I think it’s going to be a great car to drive and better than the f8x in some ways and not in others as with any new platform

Paedophiles are disgusting. You may not like the front end at all, but calling it disgusting is ridiculous.

Agreed when you put these cars side by side and F82 is more aero on the front end than G82.

But is the F82 in the photo standard? My brother has a 2018 F82C and it does not have the lower front lip that the F82 in the photo has (and which makes it look more aggressive).

Thanks Dr Deep

As you say, that's a fairer comparison, and to my eyes it's a draw on the front view (but with G80 looking more modern), and the G80 a clear winner from the rear...much more aggressive from the rear than F80.

Imo the F8x has the best designs ever made.
But i like the G80 very much, especially in person...Don't know why but in the flesh the car is like a complete different car compared to it's pictures.

But I do understand why some people just like the F8x series more and it's totally ok. Everyone how he/she likes it

Paedophiles are disgusting. You may not like the front end at all, but calling it disgusting is ridiculous.
It is my opinion that the front end is revolting. Perhaps I can use that synonym since disgusting is only reserved for child molesters.

In my opinion it's a word that is a bit weird to use for a car. But we're all entitled to our opinions. Go for it.

Not fair either cause it doesn’t have the lci2 lights which is completely stock and changes the front of the car dramatically
