It seems most are in agreement that it's not a good design direction for them and the consensus is that it's a mish-mash of multiple (non-BMW) cars.

Hey I just thought of an idea. How about we let these folks enjoy this atrocious looking car. I think we've done enough of voicing our displeasure of the design or shall we continue on until the fall?

Also, can someone please start a thread worthy of the front page so we can have a good story to read about?! Anyone...? (Crickets...)

That grille is making kissy lips at me and I'm feeling really uncomfortable.

I'm most bothered that it will be at least 5 inches longer ... I'll be a pig of a GT cruiser

Why can't we have 1,450 kg M3s ?

Those who need space there's always the X5M etc.

It crossed mine mind several times to switch.

I am big ///M fan and have a hard time switching after owning over 20 M cars

I dont have a hard time switching, autocrossed a 991, Cayman GTS. All great cars

For me it comes down to value, ///M cars are a bargain compared to the 911 S.

There is literally no way to make the new grill look acceptable.

German engineering is so strong with all of these cars, but they do have their moments.

Comes with the territory I guess as more technology added and EU emissions get increasingly tighter with each model year.

I actually like it, especially the front.

I have owned a couple dozen BMWs since the mid 1980s. I moved to Porsche (and VW) because of the lack of MTs at BMW. I will almost certainly buy a new M3 with MT, to replace my MT Golf R, when they come out...and also keep an MT Porsche...they are truly fabulous sports cars.

God bless,
TT

I'm sure they'll be an aftermarket front bumper for the M4 that'll correct where BMW went very wrong.

It's very evident that we are all passionate about our views and it's for this reason forums like this are a wonderful venue to voice them.

However; it's important to keep in mind, not to be the protagonists, trying to change someone's opinion based on yours as this could be problematic, causing feathers to be ruffled and posts to be removed. (be a Caesar and not a Koba lol).

Let's just try to keep on-topic, show restraint and play nice as much as possible. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose of these things.

Yes, that was probably way too deep but needed to be said.

God bless.

Well said. But to take away from another movie; "Law don't go 'round here law dog." Where law can be substituted for common sense, sympathy, empathy, respect for differing opinions, perspective...
