I think the new front-end looks cool. It's not beautiful, but it's cool and menacing.

Bring the Alpina B3 to the states so we can get a prettier M3

HORIZONTAL lines = Audi


Audi grille split in the middle.

That’s all.

Wrap it pink and add a curly tail to go along with the pig nose.

Use a dark exterior color (the available blue/green/black) to weaken the grille effect, and do a honeycomb grille insert (m performance grille probably), this thing would look mean.

to me the more of the full design that is revealed the better integrated the grills look. blending a bit of the dark room teaser pic and these spyshots can definitely start to put together what it will look like without the camo

good catch on the mirrors, no doubt managing the different aero needs of the 4 door vs 2 door body.

Lol well I suppose a cayenne or 911 can do the trick. Even an M5 competition would not be a bad thing. Shame they buried the icon with a tombstone grill. Looks ghastly I think.

On the first picture of the M3, it looks like they've integrated the turn signal into the DRL. Interesting since that's different from the 3 series. Not sure if the 4 is integrated in that fashion- part sharing in that case?

Oh, I'm voting with my wallet for sure. After owning an M3/M4 of every generation since the E36, I will NOT be getting the G80/82. I'm actually leaning AMG right now.....

The M4 looks like pure unadulterated shit. The M3? Passable but still those grilles are horrendous. At least there's a Hofmeister kink. It's amazing how much a small design element can make or break something.

For the first time in my life, living in a state that requires a front license plate feels so good
With F body 3 series, was a little suspicious. Now I know for sure. Bye BMW, Hello Porsche

Well you might need to act quickly and get a current generation C63.

Rumors indicate that the next gen C63 will get a hybrid 4-cylinder (basically the CLA45S engine with a hybrid system).
