My G80 Rendering
Hello everyone, with the recent rumors of the G80 M3 featuring new taller and bigger grille (from the all new 4er apparently), I was motivated to make this render:
What do you guys think? Probably not everyone's taste but I tried to keep it close to the spied shots (headlights, major lines etc...) and referenced to some recent concepts and vision vehicles (iNext, i Vision Dynamics ...) for the grille. |

Gosh, glad I bought the F80, that's hideous and there is nothing special about that front fascia at all. Totally non-aggressive. Hopefully it will look something like the rendering from Evolve Auto...

Porsche is always an option after this.

If that's what it ends up looking like it's gonna be the ugliest M3 ever made, and the F8x is going to be in ridiculously high demand.

The Grille is larger, deeper and has the plate holder in the middle.

I will be shocked if the front end of this car looks good, luckily I'm going for the M340i anyways.

Impressive rendering skills. I have to agree with the majority though, nothing about this to me says ///M. It doesn't even look like a BMW anymore..

You should be scared.
It's better resolved when you see it in person. I have seen it on the 4er. But not yet on the M3. It works on the 4er.

As long it stays wide and it's not growing in hight I am ok with that. I do like that they keep the divider in between the grill.

I'll reserve judgement for when it's revealed and thanks OP for the effort. Renders are tricky and never too close to reality thankfully.
Starting to worry somewhat about the grills, is the plate really going in the middle?! OK for me in the IK I guess but those that have no front plate, hmmm. I also see quite a few Kia references each time a new grill is discussed but some of the current design (M2C) makes me think of Skoda a little.

Might try again with the next render work when a less-camo M3 is spotted in the wild. |
