Love love love. All I need are more pictures of the G82!! I like that we're seeing more and more of the contours. Shaping up very well

To break up the “it’s just about the looks” comments...the blades inside the side vent is on full display again. No less than four of them counting the splitter, that should be significant enough surface area to act as dive planes if that is the intent and shape of them. I.e. to stabilize the car and create vortices along the sides to aid with downforce.

As for the looks, love this view of the M4. Such athletic stance and air slicing wedge shape. Both cars look great from every angle except maybe ground level rear with the now M3 characteristic full diaper muffler. I’m sure it’s aiding in uninterrupted airflow though

At the end of the day I just realize it's way too busy no matter how much I try to like it. There's no BMW in this at all
I suppose this is nothing new, here is Clarkson on the F82 release:

There’s another advantage to this. If the car is black, you don’t notice quite so quickly that the stylists simply didn’t know when the time was right to step away from the drawing board. Every detail is garnished with yet more detail, and the end result is fussy. The door mirrors are especially annoying. Possibly the company has done this to make the two-door M4 coupé stand out more from the four-door M3 saloon, but I’m really not sure it was necessary.
...

People have short memories about the criticisms of prior generations.

But honestly, I think the front end will look great. Once the camo comes off and we see it with paint, I'm sure most people will be singing a different tune.
No doubt!! When we see a Sapphire black with a blacked out grille build it'll change everyone's perception I feel.... I think both these cars blacked out are going to look aggressive, and the grille will become an afterthought to the overall performance and bang-for-your-buck factor.

I want success for Bmw as my favorite car brand. But I want this thing to fail so hard that they're forced to give it a normal front end

I didn't know Lexus made "M" cars. These front grills on both cars are stupid looking. How can anyone really say they look good? Why didn't BMW just make the whole front one big grill?

It could have stellar performance for all I care, but man, that it going to be one horribly ugly car.

G80 looks much more aggressive than G82 with them wide wheel arches.

can't wait to get my hands on the AWD M3

Don't order Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go or Driving Assistant Professional. The ugly oval sensor will be removed— problem solved.

P1 G83 Tanzanite Blue II for me, as I highly suspect that San Marino Blue will be available for CS or special editions.

It’s going to be a weapon, I predict even a stock G8X AWD will threaten the M4 GTS.

well its about time bmw put the production side skirts on the g80. this is going to be an aggressive looking car especially at track height. the f90 vs g80 comparisons are going to be even more interesting.

I've gotta stop looking at these G8x threads. I feel my self becoming desensitized to the grilles after having looked at so many pictures over the last few months. I'd like to stay upset about these things but I think acceptance is creeping in
