Nope. If you look at the F80 with camo on the previous page, you will notice similar bulge around the grille and headlights separated from the grille. They do that to throw you off.

Here are the latest M cars in the G family. As for the vertical center line, my guess is that it will be close to the 7 series (shudder...it’s an eye sore of a car) kidney divider but with a deeper painted “nose”. Last edited by solstice; 05-11-2019 at 03:18 AM.. |

To my eyes, that shape looks like camouflage cladding. I would suspect that the headlights will still meet the now enormous grille, and it does not look like the hood can open with this piece installed.

There is a shape in the hood that pronounces the upper portion of the grille to look more aggressive than the renderings done to date. It seems to protrude forward in appearance.
The shape continues in the front hood line as it joins the front bumper. Those lines seem to follow back up the hood as it returns toward the windshield. This could look very aggressive, IMO. |

Yeah, Porsche is in another bracket as a new car value proposition. P-cars are IMO the by far best value in their class ( performance, reliability, looks, history etc. ) while M3 is the same in it’s class. Most who shops in the M3 class will not swap to the P-car independent on how awful the grills are since the cost of ownership difference is too big. Likewise If I were willing to spend the coin for a 992 Carrera S instead of a G82 I would even if the G80 grill turns out absolutely spectacular (and I think the 992 is a disgrace in how lazy of an exterior design change it is to the 991 ).

Let's not all act like Pikachu and pretend this is new. EDIT: It might be larger, but I think it's going to live up to the hyperbole.

Here is the first spied look at the G80 M3 interior. It features the new digital gauge display revealed and demoed last week in the upcoming M8.

I hope it doesn't have M8's adjustable brakes.

wow looks like i underestimated this interior. so far its coming together nicely and the blending of the dash and idrive is nicely done. cant believe the M8 virtual screen is making it to this car that is awesome! im still so on the fence about how the exterior will come to together so continuing to wait and see ... also that shifter definitely screams DCT, sweeeet
