IND please help???
Great car and solid color combo.
G80 ready to order if I can obtain more confidence in what can be done to the front nose. I've owned all model M3's, M5 comp, X5M's etc...blah blah blah I want to buy a G80 but very reluctant based on the "buck teeth" I can't ignore. IND or other...can you please help us by suggesting your current thinking on how you might address this structural challenge and/or work-arounds (I.e. color match?)....please!!!!

The aftermarket may go this route. Makes the grill appear smaller

You may be able to address the grille but what about the weight? |

Why would a 420i get M badges on the front fenders??

It’s an M Sport, which means it gets the M styling bumpers, wheels and interior details but the small engine. You can get pretty much every engine with M Sport here. In the UK, I think something like 65% of all BMWs sold are M Sports.
Interestingly the new 4 Series convertible will be only offered in M Sport trim here apparently? |

It certainly makes a statement - which is what they were after I'm sure. I think a bit more attention to the front end though would have helped greatly.

I'm not criticizing BMW for this color, it's okay. Personally this color does nothing for me at all. When I see this color I envision the owner wearing pleated khakis and sensible shoes. It's like the opposite of edgy or sexy.
Just one guy's opinion.

So far, the G series M cars have all looked worse than the top of the line standard 3/4/8 to me. M340i, M440i, M850i all look better than the M cars. What a strange time.
