G82 M4 Full Frontal Leak! [With Bumper Part For G80 M3 / G82 M4]

SabineBimmer · 06-04-2020, 04:01 PM

FFS... I figured the large grille was coming but the angular look is just cheesy. Horizontal slats are probably the only way to go.... Too big for vertical slats and the lower tier cars have the diamond shaped grilles.

I don't know, just don't know man

EDIT: actually I do, it's the changing market overseas

It will be sweet. There will be a lot of tweaks. They're paying attention to the consumers opinions.

This is getting out of hand

The 300 leaked photos, videos, track mules haven't convinced you there is no chance? Lol.

Yep. I already decided that I am not getting one. For the first time in about 25 years I will be without a M3/M4 of each generation.

I was about to say the same thing. Hell has officially frozen over.

I don't think I'll sell my F82 for this. Outside of the updated interior and higher performance, the exterior appears to be VERY underwhelming.

Sweet big vents for fog lights

The Automotive Enthusiast · 06-04-2020, 04:15 PM

I can't believe I'm saying this but the RS5 Coupe looks sportier and less plump. The grille looks like someone backed into it and BMW forgot to fix it.

Donolotti · 06-04-2020, 04:17 PM

This is horrible. Worst designed M car in terms of looks ever I think.

Matches this leak from months ago.

Grills actual look taller than the M440i.

Jesus Christ BMW. I mean seriously. Wtf.

I vividly remember launch photos of the 4 series thinking damn, that looks good. And when the F82 M4 came out it was overwhelmingly positive. I loved it (although I hated the exhaust, and still do.. lol) it was/is a gorgeous car. Sure it had the occasional labia comment regarding its outer intakes, but overall very positive for a new model release.

But I digress.. What have you done BMW?

Audi makes very handsome looking cars so that's a compliment in my book.

But the MG one I think was a hot car. Sorry my exhaust tips were dirty, I am shamed and embarrassed by this.

dovaro · 06-04-2020, 04:36 PM

Mules pics shows vertical grill and it's nicely divided by the bumper for (license plate ). However the leaked pics of the bumper show horizontal grill and not divided?!!

The way leak pics are presented gives an impression that BMW wants to surprise us ? Or distract us with those ugly grills? I hope so. But mules pics looks reasonable!

Can someone explain what's going on ?

I think the new M4 will look better than the RS5. The floating (no surround) grille will probably make it all work. We'll find out pretty soon.

Speculation was it was an older prototype.

Like all BMW I think they look better in person, they are hard to photograph, except the E28 and E36. The rest do not come very well in photos. Will reserve judgement till the real deal, however it may have some serious potential.

That's so true, I had an e36 and it would get at least 300-1000 likes a pic and it was just so easy to get a good angle and a great pic.

The m2 on the other hand.. I'm lucky to get 80 likes and I'm hardly ever inspired by the pictures I can get of it.
