More G80 M3 from different angles. The flared front and rear fenders looked aggressive, with missing production side skirts and rear bumper assembly to complete the puzzle.

Surely they wouldn't cheapen out on the rear fenders with this plastic joke seen on Japanese F90 M5s...

The rear muffler box looks really low, remembering the rear does not have the diffusor on. I hope it is more covered than with the current RS4, it looks hideous when sitting in a car behind it. It looks super messy.

Euro taillights are beautiful. Amber turn signals and separated from the brake lights. Why is this not standard in the U. S?

Holy, that looks awful. I wonder where those pieces attach at? I doesn't look like it's really part of the fender persay

Looking forward to see what the new M4 will look like. There any leaks yet?

Not that I know of. I suspect we'll see some new 4 Series spy shots within the next 12 months for sure.

Way behind.

Purpose built race cars employed the wheel construct years ago. Since then Ferrari, Porsche and Corvette (amongst others) adopted the approach.

The new 911 embraced the trend.

Not goofy. Better.

How is it better? Putting more mass where weight is most critical doesn't seem like an improvement. I noticed the F80 runs a stagger with the tire diameter and I always thought that was so strange. I'd definitely move to an even setup with aftermarket wheels.

The only thing I notice with the cars you mentioned is it's only possible to find 3xx width tires with 19" or bigger wheels, which isn't a need for the front.

Is the xDrive system expected to be analogous to the M5’s?

I know this has always been the case with the M3 but why the heck do they wait so long in between M3 generations. It's super annoying that any M3 on a lot now is a left over dealer stock.

Great way to lose customers to other brands like AMG and RS

I will feel a lot better when I see some indication of Active Cruise Control being available. Yet to hear anything or see any sensors that would reinforce hope. 😒

I can't believe no one on the G20 design team ever said: "the taillights from a distance look a little 'Lexus IS'"...

More like RC lol but Lexus does have a great design team I think so it's not like they're even awful tail lights to begin with

Only thing that would interest me is if the car could improve comfort and maintain the current performance.

the F80 is going to be tough to improve on.

It's a better handling car than it's direct competition C63 And Alpha both sporting 500hp

I don't consider AWD an improvement.

You can slap AWD on any car and it's going to grip better. This thing would have to be super sophisticated.

Engage on launch semi engaged for corner grip.

I'd like to see the final design
