The side picture looks just like a old generation of 5 series, and so flat no line

Yes this is what we saw at UDE except in Green.

The car is hiding the ugly grill and Charger Hood!
Plus the gloss black paint stripe on the bottom is still hidden here.

As i stated before - the rear fenders are flared at about 50% compared to F80.

BTW the front wheels are 19in vs 20in for rear therefore they look noticeably smaller and don’t fill out the front gap. The F80 Comp has a better stance.

The slat grill is an improvement.... as long as you slap a euro license plate on it. Doesn't look good without one (unless someone comes up with a nice cover) and will look even worse with the more square USA style plate.

Looks better from the A-pillar back compared with the abomination that is the 4 series.

I'm not too fond of a front thick tire and a skinny rear tire, aesthetically at least.

I think I do. You mean the upper line of where the rear fender flare meets the body is horizontal instead of being an arc around the wheel well:

It's more of a box fender look which makes me think of Audi more than, say, e30 m3

The wheels do have an appealing look, but may not be the best choice on this M3 imo.

The front end doesn't look aggressive at all 🤷🏼.

Grille aside, whatever happened to clean, classy and simpler wheels? I'm not a fan of the 666 and this seems to be 666^2. In your face, blingy and busy.

Maybe they will look OK with the highlighter color in the spirit of making a statement. Not sure if they will go well with more discreet colors.

This may be the first stock M car where exhaust tips don't look tiny. Not sure though if this car is running an optional M performance exhaust. If the tips are stock, that looks really good.

People hated the 666 rims like crazy when they first came out... then warmed up to them and, to this day, they still bring a significantly higher premium on the resale market than the 437s despite the 437s being forged and much lighter. I think people will warm up to this new style as well. They're certainly not as hated as the 666 rims were when they first came out.

I guess so. But I have not warmed up to mine yet and it's the only mod I have pending on my list. I think the bling is what I dislike the most. The flip side is I don't have to wash the car too often as they look better dirty.
