Jesus, what an abomination. OK, that’s enough. From now, I stop considering these new M3 and M4 as BMWs, even if the S58 is a pure gem. These cars redefine the word ‘ugly’. They are alien, Lovecraftian, a cosmic horror from another planet...

I like the wheels that's it. I'd get them on an all Black M3 . All that other stuff is too teenager looking.

I find the wing a little understated actually. If you're going to wing it, WING IT!

Your first point pretty much reflects my feeling. I have seen 3 M4s in the past 2 weeks in the same color, dark gray(dravit?). 2 on the road and 1 at the dealer. Their presence was clear. To me the grille is far less offensive in person and that this car just doesn't show well in photos. I can't say I am attracted to it.

One thing to note about the dark gray is that it minimized the busyness of the lines as well as the duo tone, the black edges that surrounds the car. That cheapens the car for me and takes me back to a 90s z24 Cavalier.

Spot on. I just don't picture an adult driving this around and not feeling like he's driving his son's car.

Man I wish this car looked better. It's a performance masterpiece. I will give it that. But damn.. what could've been.

based on this thread I did a quick yagoogly - check out the Tesla protestor pics from this auto show where she's standing on top of the vehicle lol small gathering there

What a joke, you couldn't pay me to buy this tacky monstrosity. I'm just so disappointed in bmw's new offerings at this point. It's as if they wanted it to look terrible or hired designers that had no idea what they were doing. I just don't get it.

Keeping my current M car.

Why would the asian market like it?

I'm pretty sure the dislike of the new aesthetic is proportionately equal regardless of demographics.

I'd do the exhaust, but with it requiring a different rear facia and an M tax, no doubt it'll be prohibitively expensive.

On looks I like it - it's a bold car from the front, make the same statement in the back.

Thank you for your opinion that we were all waiting for.

It is exactly what we were waiting for for us all to cancel our orders.

Get on the phones guys.

Can always tell when a G80/G82 thread hits the front page news by the comments that start flowing in.
