We all await your description of it.

I know you can't reveal all but I'd love to know:

1) What Isle of Man green looks like (if the car you see is that color)
2) Are the grill slats horizontal?

He said in another post that someone he knows saw the M3 in a "black-green"

If you are seeing it internally in October, might a public unveiling come in the months after? Is the speculated march production timeline likely?

Maybe they'll be vertical like the 1971 Pontiac Grand Prix.

That's what I'm hoping for! A carbon black/Jerez Black type of color but with a green undertone instead of blue.

I really like the lines of the car, it really makes it look more "special"

But that grill!! to me its way out of proportion with the rest of the car.

Hopefully production will be just a little smaller, and with black instead of chrome, one might be able to get past the giant buck tooth look that seems to be all the rage. Monkey see Monkey do.

Most of the car looks great, but that grill look horrible. Looks like a throwback from Lexus. Or, I guess itÂ’s a grill aright. Pull it out and cook some hamburgers on it, wow.

[iamwingman]

Looks sweet from the side. Hope that front will grow on me.

[Kilabyte]

That grille has to be some sort of a sick joke though.

[M3Fahrer]

Side mirrors are so narrow they look like handlebars to me. Don't like 'em

[kss]

Agree about the ugly grill and side mirrors, but the side profile of the car is beautiful. Seems a lot sleeker. Don’t like the rear though.

From the side view in the bottom photo, it looks like Acura might have drawn some inspiration from the Camaro.

The rear looks a lot like the BMW 4 series concept.

That car looks to have taken more cues from TESLA than BMW.

What is the point of designing a grill like this when you leave no place for the license plate without it going OVER THE FRIGGIN GRILL???????

[damills]

Only sale numbers will tell how much people really like it. If a tricked out M340i can be $70k, How much for an M440i tricked out $75k, $80k?

For $80k you can get a nice M4 (current version)




Now thats a GRILL

The situation is no different for BMW than it is for Audi, Lexus, and every other manufacturer that designs cars with large grilles on the front end of the car.

I agree with you. But again, what is the point?
