They look horizontal in that picture, but I bet they will be vertical in the final version.

They look vertical/diamond-patterned to me.

I tried to trace the outline from what we can see (key word is tried), stopping at the camera in between the kidneys. I'm still having a difficult time picturing the front end of this car, but I am starting to think it'll look more like the i4 grille instead of the CSL Concept

It may look like this but https://g20.bimmerpost.com/forums/at...1&d=1556135165 does not seem to fit body shape.

So i4 concept possibly, but on this I see two separate kidney grills and it just may be the camo support.

I am going to wait till final unveil.

Then see car in person, then decide if I like it.

Maybe they got drunk and are doing a cross brand retro front end? Back to four round lights at least.

The wider M3 Tires look great and they will add more grip!

I have a feeling everyone is going to like what this car will offer especially the M xDrive.

Just recently sat in the new 3 Series, the fit and finish is as expected besides for all the tacky piano black plastic. It is definitely creeping into the 5 Series size territory. I found it slightly too big, there's definitely more legroom in the back but we found the hood to be very large, any bigger than its current dimensions will be too big I feel.

Let's see how they look either in Frankfurt or when more camo comes off. Let's all just relax and trust that over time, we have almost always warmed up to major design changes. Case in point: the loss of the angel eyes headlamps on the LCI 2.0 for the F8x. Most of us hated it at first, but for me personally, I cant imagine the car without it now.

I did a 2 year lease on an M3 CS so that I can jump into a G80 (and back into a 6MT!) relatively soon in the lifecycle of the model. If the G80 is a bust, I will purchase my CS.

Please don’t go there with the kidney grills... I still cannot bring myself to like the X7 or 7 LCI even though I’m seeing them on the road...

Just give us a normal 3-series grille like you've done with every M3.

Seriously - why is this so complicated? The bigger grilles this generation drive me nuts and they constantly take it to the extreme every LCI or redesign now.

That concept looks great but the thing is, its a concept, so the final look will never be able to be that sharp or sleek due to regulations, just look at the Z4 and 8 concepts compared to their production versions.

Has anyone noticed the exhaust seems split up front, (I.e. bi turbo style) it looks like the downpipes or secondary cats are independent of each other
