I like it, but I wish the lower middle section was one open hole instead of being split into two sections again. That way, the lower part of the bumper would only have three openings (similar to classic M bumper design) instead of four. I'd love to see your render with that change made!

Thank you for the input, I can clearly see what you mean, and will think about it. Unfortunately, if I will remove the middle surface, the kidneys will be readable only on the upper part, and most M3/M4 owners want to have the big kidneys kept, just different execution for them.

I will be doing more changes to it, especially the side vents to achieve more drama, a more extreme approach. The next update will be way better resolved, stay tuned.

More dinamique M Feel

A more dinamique front end. Pretty happy with overall volumes. Hopefully by next week we will have the 3dscan and will move into Digital surfacing. Stay tuned!

Still looking for a M3/M4 owner willing to share his baby for few hours for 3D Scanning session.

This guy is just asking for constructive criticism and feedback and has taken it fairly well given how staunch advocates some of us are for the OEM grille, yet you belittle and demean his work while providing no constructive feedback whatsoever as to how he could possibly improve it - bravo

OP - I personally think your design isn't bad at all. One of the main tweaks I'd make is changing the grille curvature as the current shape reminds me of the grim reaper's tomb/someone with a big mouth just gawking at something wide-jawed. The outer line/shape could curve inwards similarly to the OEM grille to make it more appealing IMO. Most people think they don't like the grille, when in actuality they don't like the space/negative space around it, and I feel like you've got the surrounding of the grille down, but the grille itself could look more OEM-shaped.

Ok. "Constructive" feedback. It looks like shit.

I kinda like it.

Crazy thought, but is it possible to make it with an integrated front lip?

Reason I ask is my car is lowered and adding an aftermarket lip will at least add another inch, which takes away from the clearance. It'll make it tough for me to get on my driveway.
