M3 M4 G8X - LCI Rendering (New DRL)

Imran@Evolve · 03-22-2023, 12:31 PM

Cool render but prefer the current laser lights.

TruthOne · 03-22-2023, 12:33 PM

Those DRL’s make the car look cross eyed. Why would they do that? It looks ok on the regular 3 series but for some reason seems odd on the M

Tallest · 03-22-2023, 12:34 PM

Kinda uncomfortable to look at in the render, cant quite explain it.

As above, car looks cross eyed. Probably poor render as on the test mule lci car they didnt look that bad.

ugly

But admit that I like the new headlights, especially on the X5/6/7.

Knowing that Porsche is increasing pricing substantially soon, I expect BMW to follow with that pattern (as prices have already increased...).
I don't think I'll delay my order for the LCI, partially due to pricing. but mostly because I'm impatient and totally sick of driving an "SUV".

What are your thoughts on your Macan GTS? My father has a Macan S and I think it's a great driving car but pushing beyond 8/10s I hate the understeer and weight of the thing. Gearing is long too.

It's a great second vehicle to deliver some thrills while on family duty. But I don't feel it can replace a proper sport sedan/sports car.

Not bad, but prefer current laser headlights.

Teutonic · 03-22-2023, 01:12 PM

Even If I know that they will look like that, in the night i will still believe is a KIA or something

_E90S65_ · 03-22-2023, 01:14 PM

Not a fan at all.

I prefer the "under" look of the current lasers vs. the "over" / frown approach.

BMW keeps moving further away from the angel eyes of their DNA, and that is sad.

The GTS is on a different level

It’s to be expected though

BimmerXdrive · 03-22-2023, 01:31 PM

Such a strange time for auto design unfortunately.

Limegrntaln · 03-22-2023, 01:33 PM

Looks more like a 340/440 front end.

BimmerXdrive · 03-22-2023, 01:33 PM

Imagine BMW offered 3 different headlight and tail light design options on new builds. Same shape for cost purposes but different DRL and LED design. Now that would have me interested in buying brand new.

FrozenGT · 03-22-2023, 02:02 PM

This is hideous… now the cars look even more goofy looking. This is horrible. These cars are going to go down in history of the ugliest M cars ever produced. However, God for bid they screw up the design on the new X5X6. Those cars have a beautiful sculpted design and aggressive looks.. because that’s Bmw‘s bread and butter are the SAVs…

Chihuahua · 03-22-2023, 02:38 PM

Is it me or does the grille look smaller on the car wearing camo than the current car?

hellas203 · 03-22-2023, 02:39 PM

Make it stick!!!! All versions comp too!

NitroExpressNY · 03-22-2023, 02:52 PM

Nope

BimmerMat135 · 03-22-2023, 03:01 PM

Fix the beaver teeths not the headlights!

Do you like the update?

I like it, but much like id8.5 or a 25hp bump, it’s not anything to get excited over. It’s just enough to be noticeable. I don’t think I prefer this over the laserlights or vice versa.

Are they scrapping the laserlights altogether?

Well, another way to look at that is you’ll have something cool and unique when it’s gone!

Can’t fix something that’s not broken.

BIGW0RM · 03-22-2023, 04:04 PM

They need to fire the G8X design team. I love my G80. But its front end is myleast favorite thing about it. Then they add those ugly dual screens. And now this?

Im thankful I got a version 1 G80x. I can live with its ugly nose. But no thanks on the dual screens and no thanks on those DRL.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

antzcrashing · 03-22-2023, 04:06 PM

Wait what? Is this 2024 M4 or not? 2025?
