One disappointment is the plastic arch extensions on the M3. It's never needed them before, unlike the QV.

Is it now required because they haven't pumped out the rear arches enough to meet regs requiring the fender to fully cover the tyre? The F80 does appear wider to my eyes.
No, this is just BMW complying to new regulations. While the rear arches are not as pronounced as that on the f80, they are still widened compared to that of the base G20. Even the 2021 M2Cs are being shipped with these black arch pieces and its front and rear flares are wide.
