Glad to see them experimenting with the front.
I am a firm believer that the G8x CAN look better without tweaking too much of it. The big grille can work but needs something other than the horizontal slats on the base G8x, and something more like the M4 GT3 or this definitely helps. I also wish there was a curtain fang or something on the lower sides of the bumper. Will be curious to see what changes LCI might bring too. |

Wow, there are going to be more points of differentiation even compared to my CS and the normal F80.

New grill has potential, after market will copy it too for non-CS owners.

Most probably as this might be last M3/M4 which is not a hybrid / EV based. BMW would want to milk the most number of sales with different versions and special editions.

I can remember two distinct Versions of the BMW 3.0 CLS on showroom floors and a third track version. Sorry couldn't find free photos to down load. First sold version was rather tame update of the 3.0 without batwing and other aero stuff. The second had batwing and front spoiler, and front fenders small vertical shark fins. That version also did not have the light weight components. The track version was wild having all short of aero, engine and suspension mods and the most visual notable were the following light weight stuff: front dam, doors, wider front and rear fenders and the famous batwing.
My point is that the photos we are seeing now may not be a CSL or any close to being any CSL version. Maybe it's just hype for our fun.

Yep this is a big deal. Return of the classic M "A" shaped profile.

dont know if i get this right
CS= A special model with much better tuned chassis bits that results the a lot greater performance gain. CSL= basically the lighter weight version of the CS, costly/special/limited. its like Porsche GT3 touring pack that deletes the rear wing. GTS=track focused product, like GT3 RS more a track toy and less ideal for street use. |
