Got damn that front is ugly as F! I cannot believe this shit grill got approved for production. It's no wonder there are already YouTube videos of attempt redesigns by aftermarket companies.

This looks like the modifications done on old VW beetles in the '70s

Oh wow...what a video, apart from amazing sound it actually shows the beautiful car and the focus is on the driving and exhaust.

I think the marketing department knows that now they have to sell the shitty graphics and that horrible pyramid exhaust, so they tried to change the frames so quickly that you cannot see anything except that fire on hands

Loved that commercial. Not only does it nicely portray what the M3 was all about (ideal daily driver and track toy combo), it perfectly showcases the advertised product itself (the MPE) with the enhanced sound experience it provides. Not the case at all with the G8X M-Performance add in the OP. I am sad, sorry and disappointed, but I no longer associate with BMW ///M products. I feel like I have been booted out. A 992 is already on order for me.

Agree with you on the manual. I judge the sh*t out of anyone who buys any automatic transmission. Probably why I have so few friends in the car community.

I have an M3 CS, I wear glasses, and I don't think it looks anything like a mustang (I have yet to see a mustang I liked in 38 years of life lol).

LOL - not really makes me want to go out and buy it.
It makes me think I really need to find a different brand of car.

I guess I preferred when BMWs had an understated classy look, with a hint of aggressiveness...rather than this loud, in your face, and obnoxious presence just screaming for attention. To me It reeks of desperation and a lack of comfort in its own skin.

May be one or two people will identify with this sentiment, but I just have to say it : I feel like Im in 2003-4, deep into the Need For Speed Underground community, we are all experimenting with vinyls on cars for the first time in a video game, and I see online these shitty designed kits in weird mismatched skirts and bumpers, all looking exaggerated, and the vinyls oh god the vinyls, all those stripes in angles or tribal shapes.

This is what this car reminds me of. And I am suspecting the people who were allowed to designed it, have still had that NFSU game in their minds when the brief came in for the M3 ca 2020.

You know, last time BMW changed their design big time, I try to think back how I felt about it back then. Did I hate the bangle butt E65? Did I hate the E60? What about E90? Z4?

And I recall there were people who were offended back then too, but I recall how I thought they were pretty cool and different. The whole metal shaping was super interesting, smooth and sharp at the same time. I never liked E30 (I still dont, except M3, the stock car looks like some Lada to me but nicer), I did have E36 as my first car and E39 appealed nicely - and the E90s that followed (i owned 2) I really really liked (without those Idrives too). So am I just like those guys in 2000s who loved the old BMWs, or do I still have some sense in what looks good?

I arrived to conclusion that there is no redeeming feature for that sh.tshow of a grille (shape, size, etc) on that car. It's a joke. A damn ugly car. Anyone who tells me It will grow on me, I just dont take them seriously or dont trust they know what theyre talking about.
