Not a fan of the grill as shown in this spy shot. Even opting for black as the body color doesnt help much bc the chrome trim around the grill draws so much attention to it

We all know the grill looks terrible, and that has been expressed by most here. Those who like it will like it, and those who don't won't come around.

I can't say I like it yet. But it doesn't look that bad on the 4-series. I've always wanted an M3/M4. If it needs to have the controversial grill so be it. Otherwise I can always go with the M340i.

Agreed 1000%. Awful. The gray/silver trim around the grille makes it stand out even more and in a bad way. Embarrassingly bad, reminds me of a bad zit that you want to be rid of. Not a pleasant sight.

G20/G21/G80 LCI: Mid 2022. M3 will get the new taillights but will get absolutely no front end changes.

G22/G23/G26/G82/G83 LCI: Early 2024. M4 will get the new taillights, M3/M4 will get the new headlights, and, if they are going to happen (not likely, but possible), any front end styling revisions would occur at this time.

When the pictures will finally be revealed it will be time to compare the new M3/M4 with Alpina's very refined B3.
Your money, your choice and your personal taste.
Alpina's B3 will seem even more subtle like the M5. And for other drivers, they will prefer the M3/4.

It's made for countries that are all about showing off brand logos. If this style appeals to you then you gonna love this car. If you think brand logos everywhere are stupid then you probably going to hate this car

I know is a hard pill to swallow ( the grill ) but I think a lot of the people will still get it. With time people will see the big grill as a common thing and blend it nicely with the rest of the car.

Ultimately the sales numbers will be the true indicator of how the new M3 is being perceived. The front is hideous, perhaps the LCI will correct that, time will tell. The 2021 M5 seems that much more appealing at this time.

I've been saying this for awhile now. You can find the latest Annual Report online and the Chinese market is alluded to as a key focus. I think China is its larger market now. UK/Europe not so much.

Big grills well - there will be cosmetic solutions. There would be no plastic surgeons if all the instagram models were perfect out of the box. LOL

At the end of the day, it's going to be a polarizing design that will fall into the category of love it or hate it. Based on comments on the forums, I believe the latter will be the majority, however some people will like the design. We shall all see very soon.
