Wtf is this design? The rear bumper looks like a small car bumper was fused to it. Also looks like a car prolapse.

Heavy filters on these pictures. Nonetheless, I'm coming around more and more to the design. I think seeing it in person will help tremendously.

I like the Aston Martin idea of giving customers the option of an alternative grill.

On a similar note, the F80 rear bumper stuck out a bit too, that’s well past the boot lid...

Well, at least AMG beat them to it with their matte yellow metallic on the SLS Black Series 😉
AMG Solar beam yellow wasnt a matte colour, its likely matte ppf.
Also Renault did matte paint way back in 2012 on the Clio RS & plenty of others have done it since, Its nothing new.

I'd honestly be lying if the g80 m3 has sort of grown on me lately.. but I'll happily retrofit those seats in my M2 if they fit

Same here, but I'm thinking about going the silverstone/black route for the interior, go full leather and it will really help showcase CF buckets and trim.... this is how I end up building a $95k M4 smh

You could get Solar Beam in matte as well, at a extra cost of 10-15k iirc

The rear doors of the G20 have a bulge that flows with its rear fender flares. That door bulge does not quite flow with the wider fenders of the G80.

That was not a styling problem with the F80 and its flat F30 rear doors and wide fenders.

My thoughts and observations exactly. Have seen others complain that the wide body rear fender doesnt include the door. As that was a departure from the F80. But the F80 also had stock rear doors.

I actually think that flows better on the G80

Yes, I'm very worried about how pricing is going to work on these models...

I can't see the decked out Ms with the M Perf center-quad exhaust and carbon bits priced at MSRP less than $100/$110k USD (i.e., price of a current-gen M3 CS)

That being said, when the time comes really hoping I can get into a G8x with competition package and that track package (don't need the crazy performance parts) for a deal similar to my current 2020 M4 specced with just about everything minus full leather and carbon ceramic brakes (no M perf exhaust or interior parts either)

May be inclined to get back into an M3 though... the 4 doors look killer

I dunno man, if you mean the “bulge” under the door handle, looks like it’s in the same place on both cars to me

Shit, this has finally grown on me. 100% sold if the M3CS gets a power dome hood.

That ricey red and black one is still a hell no for me though.

The "bulge" continues into the rear fender in the G20, clumsy to blend when the fender is now a flare.

Oh yeah, definitely! I totally understood what you were aiming at. I am glad they outfitted the M with the more attractive version of the grille. It's going to be very hard for 4 Series owners to fake an M.
