Nice work! I think the M4 will look better than the M3 this time. I thought the F80 looked better than the F82 but I think it will be the other way around this time. The grill looks too much for a sedan but looks aggressive and better balanced on a sport coupe.

You're artwork is definitely cool, but jesus christ this is going to be one ugly car. Wonder how involved it would be to put a G20 M Sport front end on it.

Gonna have to wait to see this thing in person. There's been some cars that where the real thing looked much better than renders... and then there's been those where the real thing still looked like . Hoping for the former..

You're not me but if you were this front end would remind you of a Cylon

the bmw grillosaurs will bomb and hope the design team is fired as we are in a recession and in a recession the only people who will still buy BMW's regardless are mostly the loyal fanbase who they've shafted with the 'grillegate' and general design unpleasantness.

I guess it's a double or 2 headed Cylon in this case

Yep, can't stand that front grill. Hopefully the final result will make me change my mind.

M3 looks good, M4 looks like a deviation from the spy shots, its more rounded in spy shots

You can't explain ugly ... give me the X5 Grill anyday over this monstrosity . I will reserve final judgement until I see it in the flesh , but this should be the front end more or less. It's making my choice easier to jump ship for 911's/Vettes .

Awesome design job! But I have to wondering why so many thought the 2er Gran Coupe was trash when you got this to look forward to... cheers to hoping for the return of an iconic e46 design

On the bright side it doesn't look like a child designed this in MS Paint. #tesla
