I'm guessing people calling "fake exhaust" on these (eg. M340i) have never come across examples like you've mentioned.

If we're calling these fake exhausts, then what are those?

Just right on the dotted line. Careful not to use a permanent marker though.

I could not agree more with your comment about the grills. F body was so nice for an entry sedan, these grills will not grow on me and the obtuse exhaust does not say "M" at all.

I was there earlier today. I told the "BMW guy" : "oh that's the new M340!" he says " well its a preproduction model, as you can see the grill is clearly fake..."

I just laught in my head. First thing I would do is swap/paint that sucker.

My impressions. Exterior is weird. Interior is VERY nice. But I had a seat in the M2C in the back...dear lord I want this car.

Yup. These grills never grow on me. Atrocious.
The iconic straight slat style grill was clearly BMW when you see it coming down the street. Between the trapezoid shape it is taking on and the chain link look; it will take a few seconds to decipher between Kia, Toyota and all the other vanilla designs.

Love the Blue. Due to the lighting not sure if it is Tanzanite II. Either way it is great. Toss up between Tanzanite II or Citrin Black if I do get the M340i in the future. Would love to see that color exterior with a lighter color interior. Hate the new grill. UGH. What were they thinking. Oh an the music in the video is jarring to say the least.

Why are front ends SO TALL NOW?

Honestly. You all understand what I'm saying. It's as if engines have doubled in height...

I'm trying to figure out how they're going to get the aftermarket M stripes on that grill. :

You're probably right! Tanzanit II blue is one of the Individual colors for the G20.

Nevertheless, it's similar to Meditteranean blue.
Have you seen Tanzanite in person, throughout the day/weather?

Nothing like Mediterranean at all.

This blue would have looked so much better in a manual transmission, but I digress.

It's pre-production that's why it's missing the third pedal.

The grill reminds me of Subaru.

I think it's a nice car with serious performance numbers.

You're joking about your 3rd pedal comment, correct?

Nah

This is an exact copy of my car, sedan version. What's the point? I'll take another X3 before I get this one, it's more practical. Unless there is a major price difference I can't see the point.

No 3 pedal models will be offered on the M340i.
