You are correct that the aesthetic changes aren’t motivated by regulatory concerns. But it will also have exactly zero affect on the way the car performs. Ironic, isn’t it. This is people freaking out that their woman suddenly cut off her long flowing hair, only to realize she’s still the same person where it counts. Or, if not, then drop that and go buy the Mustang. But, don’t be surprised if there are ten more secure guys lined up to take the “ugly” BMW for a ride. |

Can't believe I'm stating this: The appearance of an M3 shouldn't have to be overlooked and excused to enjoy the vehicle… "Yes, it looks like a walrus, but 'where it counts' -- behind the wheel -- it's a gem." This is where BMW M has cornered the faithful?? One now has to be secure in their automotive preferences to buy one? Come on. But no doubt they've done their research, know where they're headed and the customer base they're reaching more than I do.

We both both know that a 33% (or more) weight gain would be superficial for neither a car nor a mate, because it would genuinely affect the way they perform. |

A new M3 release is imminent and we’re debating whether a wife cutting her long flowing hair or gaining a bunch of weight is more analogous. I think it’s a sign BMW’s probably taken a wrong turn, my man.

One point I should menation is that many feel that this is pandering to China. Whereas there is a certain truth in some of that theory.
The demand for more presence , more luxury, and a level of bespoke-ness is also being driven by European,North American and Middle East customers. It's BMW reacting to market demands.

When they would, they would not provoke us with perfect avoidable details like bad designed front grills or an ugly tail diffusor. For the same costs, or less, they could have done it right. |

Then it’s appropriate that the grill is full of 4s, because these grills serve as coffins for our beloved M3/M4s.
