definitely looks like the right hood to me... Those lines look they will match up pretty well

Or did the very first Ms also had quad exhaust? I didn't say anything that this car won't be iconic or good or whatever...it just loosing the „classy & subtle" approach...and this is was BMW meant to me...their cars never had to follow any wierd trend or extreme designs to look good... If I look at the hood in this pic, it looks for me like a cheap japan tuning aftermarket part that I would order on an Honda Type R...but I would never say previously that it is a BMW part... But tastes are different, and this is good. |

The power dome was introduced in 2001 on the E46 M3. Its say after almost 20 years, it's more of an iconic M3 thing than ever.

So the M4 will be an AWD coupe with a torque converter, and without a power dome, hoffmeister kink or vertical slats in its (huge) grill. Is there anything aside from the badge to suggest it's not an Audi?

This looks like the scallop hood off of base model Dodge Chargers.

Somehow I think the soccer moms in Lexus SUVs going 60 in a 70mph zone will still be blocking my way.

The design is to evoke classic BMWs with the angular bonnet flares which are very much an icon for the more racing orientated coupes.
In regards to the power dome. The central section of the strafes is raised for the M3 and M4. And it also differs from the 4.

When you have to explain the design language, then you're saying too much.
