I don't know my friend... I remember the lead up to the F80 reveal feeling about the same length. We had about 2 years of spy shots for both generations.

People who have seen it said it is similar to Oxford.

Looks like BMW is doing something right because that's exactly how they want everybody to be so when it's revealed it will get more of a positive reaction. It's all pysche...

If I wasn't a convertible driver, hands down I would order the G82 in Isle of Man Green with full black interior with green stitching.

Wonder if BMW coordinated with Apple and Hermès to launch the new color green watch strap announced this past week, Bambou, to match the IOMG G82 launch color?

This is the only color that could prevent me from doing individual Fire Orange. Can't wait! I hope it's a brighter version of Java Green.

I like how you keep clicking on these threads to see that grill and make the same types of comments even though you already know what it looks like... almost like you can't stand it... but secretly, you must like it because you can't stay away.
I agree

Ya, after building the 4 series on the builder, not adding the shadow trim made it look tolerable.

Still disagree. The timeline may have been longer I'm not splitting hairs on that, but we had wayyyyyy many more clear looks and leaks of the F8x. Aurum dust concept M4 and bicyclist spotting of a fully uncovered Yas M3 to name a couple. A quick look shows the Aurum Dust concept was out in August 2013. We had the Austin yellow M4 press release in January 2014.


This has just been render after render, and the leaks have been terribly conservative (M Instagram leak of the yellow and green) then the other one gray M4 with awful lighting beside a building. That's made it seem longer at least.

I'm suffering from another type of fatigue here
The people who are scared of change and keep moaning about the front end? Why don't they just leave? They're always posting immediately after any news gets put on here to complain. I feel sorry for a person if a car can make them so upset!

They weren’t very proud of the F80 either by that logic, look how little they showed back then:



What are you trying to hide, BMW?!

Looks like the bumper has changed since that initial leak? Or is this just a different part of the bumper?

It's a nice green and that's coming from a person who is not a fan of green.

There was a previously noted bumper discrepancy of M3's at a port. Some distinctions might be ZCP vs non ZCP.

I'd say the bumper of the car from the initial leak was just missing the honeycomb grill insert.

I was invited to a pre-viewing event on Sept 5th in Netherlands. The M3 was there in the Ilse of Man green color. It was a bit too much in your face. It wasn't as nice as the British Racing Green from the past, that was classy. This shouted "I'm here, look at me".

Overall the car looked pretty amazing and very powerful. I found there were a bit too many "lines" that distracted a little, especially around the rear diffusers. Whoever buys one will get one hell of a rid.

On the front grill. That actually was not as bad as I had expected. In reality there is a big license plate area that nicely splits the massive gril in an upper and lower part (at leat for the wide European plates). That actually made it look pretty decent. The grill itself was horizontal instead of the regular vertical, making it visually appear wider.

No, I don't have pictures, this was a no-camera event as you might imagine.

I saw the green in person 2 days ago. I suppose some may go for it. I couldn't do it.

I think this green looks like a color Ford used on the mustang in 1999-2000 called Electric green.
