I'm very sad that there is no power dome, or atleast in this early prototype.

It really helped to distinguish a true M from a non-M even more.

If you mix it with an X7 perhaps.

I think the latest generation Charger widebodies are by far the best looking Charger, but that's not saying much. It's more of a muscle car good looking. The first gens were absolutely hideous. I always thought the Charger looked bloated and lazily designed. Like they just stretched some barely shaped sheet metal over a huge old chassis, which is basically what they did. I have a Chevy SS, so I'm not a snob or anything and I can appreciate a good American V8. The Charger just never did it for me.

As someone who was originally excited even about the grills....I'm starting to have some concerns. Questionable design elements adding up, no DCT, plain interior (steering wheel mainly)...I will definitely wait until the reveal to pass judgment. Just seems like they are going for a GT vibe with the M now.

I can see your point but of course if we all liked the same cars, it wouldn't be fun at all.

The grills are too big on that hood. How could they ruin the legacy like this. I'm not buying any more BMW's.

Maybe I've just conditioned myself to dislike everything about this car, but BMW is trying to do too much at once, instead of a progressive evolution. The evolution of the M5 is the recipe they should have followed with the M3/4. It just has too much going on.

The basic G20 is already busy...so they have to top that with the M3/M4. Agreed there is just to much going on at this point.

Power dome is not iconic BMW M thing as it didn’t exist until 2008.

Iconic M things are the kidneys, staggered setup, fender flares, quad exhaust, and a mix of sportiness and DD; they’re all here. They’re actually even more emphasized in this design. This M3 will have one of the most the most iconic M3 designs ever, the other two were E30 and E46 IMO. G82 far looks more distinguishable from 3 series than it ever did, it’s bolder, meaner, and it looks like it’s ready to eat the roads and anything driving on the left lane.

I like the hood and upcoming front grill design. But not likely I am going to go for this m3/4. X3/4M is the preview of the coming platform which is not that exciting to me (I just left the f80 world). The hood and other design features certainly will be great but at the end of the day, it is evolution of the f80 generation. I may come back to Ms in the generation after.... and trust me it will be better than g80

The Power Dome was introduced on e46 ///M3 in late 1999 when it first started production. Edit Lol, Cane beat me to it^.

Who leaked this? Are they preparing us for the disappointment of no power dome the way they are with the new grilles?

Power dome hood will be an option? Time to micro transact to make it your own when ordering.
