Looks better in black but that's to be expected - since the black grills proportions are more masked. The grill extends vertically too high and even my wife recoiled when I showed her a video of it last night.

Thanks for the pics, but lighten up; you weren't the post a photo of a black M3, nor will you be the last. Cheers.

EDIT: actually, I see they took my original four pics down and used higher res ones without SONIC.

I never said you did mate, I was actually referring to the user quoted who posted the others and who did crop the watermark. I have nothing against your initial post and respect you didn't claim them as yours or crop the watermark. Glad you liked them anyway! 👍

Vantablack this f*cking monstrosity ASAP.

[The Choosey begger]

I still like this one better, not into controversial designs.
Sorry!

The only nice color with the new ugly nose job. Lol

[Crom28_E92N55]

Nothing beats this front end in my opinion.

[xjz]

It's a sad state of affairs when the best color choice is the one that hides the most detail. It's like camouflage for your car. "Look, you can barely make out the hideous front end."

On a positive note, the wheels do look good.

Probably overthinking but how do you care for a car that has both matte frozen and gloss paint right next to each other?

Seems like a detailing nightmare?

I feel like yes and matte paint is an acquired taste. Makes the car look cheaper IMO.

lol at the crease in the rear fenders so they could use a regular 3er door instead of stamping one that integrated the fender flares like MB and Audi do.

[Crom28_E92N55]

Now it looks better...
I'll wait for a rendition aftermarket front end that resembles this. Lol

[punky8d]

This is the first time me commenting positively on the G80/82. The black definitely makes it bearable- as it hides that hideous grill...

[GERMAN M3]

This has WIN written all over it.

[chenry]

While I like the black - I prefer the lighter brighter colors or white. Car is amazing and for me the black hides some of that. Love this car and the m performance parts - vinyl I'm iffy on

ps- for what it's worth I started my BMW journey with a e30 M3 30+ years ago

[wontonbomb]

This would've have been a better photo if that rectangular thing wasn't there...wtf. It's so distracting I almost forgot about the grills.

It's that way because the glossy black part is Photoshopped. This is the red / black car with the red parts coloured black. The actual black part is matte black wrap.

[1stockf80]

The only reason it looks better than the other pics is Bc the black hides the horrible features that other colors may bring out. Looking at a blacked out car may be the only accepted way to proudly drive it. That’s my opinion.

Any other color will make the unlikable aspects stick out which I will not say Bc everyone is getting banned

Can you come up with another option? I'm an accountant. My numbers are correct, my writing is infrequently spell checked.

[Stephen5242]

Those of us that like the new look really do appreciate you being polite!

Nothing wrong with you hating the change and I believe you all have made your point over and over and over again. You all are now just beating on a dead horse. If you can't stand looking at it why are you in this thread?

Time to accept the change is real and time for the haters to be polite and move on to something you do like and let those of us that do like the change to enjoy these threads!

I already posted my assumption. Glad it was correct!
