Just throwing my design out there… maybe somebody will like it.

This is more of an evolution of the G80 front end. Taking bits and pieces from all my favorite BMW m cars. It always bothered me that the headlights have so much festive space so I filled it out, colored the gloss black bits, replaced the fender indent with a e92/f80 inspired vent, smoothed out the hood to transition into a semi-aggressive classic BMW shape.

You guys might hate it or love it. Some guys said it's not aggressive enough on Reddit and had all sorts of unkind words, but this is what I came up with so here it is. Just putting it out in the ether.

Would love to read your thoughts and what you would do differently if you were to redesign it. I love the classic cleanliness of past gen M cars so this was to me … just that.

FYI, I do a lot of these mocks as a defunct industrial designer needing to a scratch an automotive itch.

Not bad. Pretty aggressive. For me, is it doesn't share any characteristics of other BMW M cars. Looks aftermarket. Not a bad thing though. Makes me feel conservative and old. Lol

Doesn't fit the angular/aggressiveness of the rest of the car. Droopy smile. Pass.
