Nice video!

The one with sunroof Is AWD to me, more aggressive cornering and earlier exit acceleration. The one without sunroof is RWD, too much oversteer!

Maybe a stupid question, but is the elongated kidney grille an expected attribute of only the G82 coupe or is it also expected on the G80 sedan? Was hoping the sedan grille would mirror the smaller 3-series counterpart. Thx.

Now with the latest fully uncovered M4 you can see the aero and bumper outlines of the two G80s cars in your pix. These are racy looking cars, Goodbye subtle, hello in your face performance look

Almost looking like the grill won't be as big. Kind of 7 series style rather than 4 series. Would definitely help push the M3 over the M4 in desirability imo.

Looks like the new grill is a 4 series thing; does this mean the M3 developed antibodies for it like the rest of the 3 series?

That’s the camouflage doing its job. Just as in past generations, the M3 and M4 will have the same front end.

Nope.
How do you know this for sure? There haven't been any M3 leaks...

Because:

a) Insiders have confirmed it
b) What can be seen through M3 camouflage jibes with what can be seen through M4 camouflage

Until yesterday, there were no M4 leaks either. There were only leaks from an unspecified car that were (almost certainly) an M3 or M4. There is still no way to know which car those earlier leaks belong to. We now know they could have been an M4, but we certainly do not know they could not be an M3.

True, the above point does not prove the M3 will have the same grill as the M4. But we were no less sure two days ago that those earlier leaks were indeed what hides under the camouflage of an M4 than we are today. That same confidence still applies to the M3.

If you reference OP, may 7 2019 photos, you can pretty clearly see the grill under the camo on an M3 mule which matches the now uncovered leaked photos of the M4

You can clearly see the large grills through this M3's camo in this previous spy shot.

I definitely see it now. Hadn't seen that picture before. That really sucks...I could have definitely seen myself moving from the M340i to the M3 IF the grill had been somewhat normal. Although it almost makes me feel better about having the M340i now lol

Cool on the cars, but man Irvine creeeeeeps me out. Cookie cutter living. Could not get out of there fast enough when I lived there. Just seeing those apartments brings it all back

Are you sure the G80 is getting the G82 grill?

This grill has been floating around too......

One set of pictures from a very early test mule.... the other picture I posted was of a very complete-looking mule. My money is on them sharing the G82 grills.

The one thing I will say is I'm still curious about this speculation that the "Pure" Model will have its own styling cues and aero treatment that differs from the Comp AWD models... not sure what that entails, if true.

Never mind. I now believe G80 and G82 will have the same front end. Sensor placement on the G80 is similar to G82
