I have to see it in person to decide, not as appealing in white as the F80. My F80 is in MW and it looks great but not sure if I would get the G80 in white. It seems the darker colors suit it better

I feel like BMW's target audience is now the kids who play Need4Speed all day long (and who can somehow afford an 80k car). They have taken the elegance of the M3 completely out of the equation.

The frozen white is growing on me! Interior does absolutely nothing for me, however (and that's where you're going to be 90% of the time...)

Would love to see this exterior fitted with BMW's red/orange or cognac interior!

I'm trying really hard to like the G80 M3 but I just can't come to accept that front end grille. The interior is badass and the backend looks good. I'm with the this will only look good in all black crowd.

Gotta agree here. I really don't mind the grille that much, but the diffuser and those bottom side skirts are just too Civic like, that's not something a german factory car should have IMHO. But it's not a deal breaker, car does look tempting otherwise.

Looks odd with black around the bottom and CF below that. What a confusing set of design elements.

I can't help but think if this car just had all the lower bits currently in piano black, painted in the body color of the vehicle, it could look A LOT better.

G80 is such a far departure of BMW traditional styling, if it wasnt for the badge and BMW headlights - it shares more with Infinity Q50 and Lexus IS rather than BMW.

I do really like the wheels but to me overall its just a huge departure of what M3 used to be especially in famous Alpine White color which shows all the weird body lines.

Current styling yes, but not past styling of BMW early years.

I will say the M3 is growing on me more and more, the only thing I hate is the front plate, without it doesn't look bad.

Oh dang I've not noticed that lower part of the rear bumper. I'm sure for Aeros but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Interesting cause I like the car in all black

I completely agree, I like the CF package (spoiler, mirrors, diffuser) as I had added to my M2 but I feel like it is at odds with all of the black around on the new M3.

The car is growing on me, even the front grill, but that rear end is just too big!

It was mentioned in one of the reviews that the blacked out lower skirt was inspired by racing cars. For instance F1 cars' floor line or the M6 GT3. Nor sure if that was official BMW lingo or just that reviewers own thoughts though.

After the first spyshots I thought I would never going to like it but I stand corrected. I am actually starting to love this car. The stance, the look, those damn wheels it's just good looking.

I'd take it in black though with those M Performance parts.

Well, at least AMG beat them to it with their matte yellow metallic on the SLS Black Series 😉
