G80 M3 reveals more of kidney grilles in Spain

Ghostriderf80 · 09-03-2019, 04:35 AM

Its September and this car is still shrouded in secrecy. No-one has yet taken a full close up of the front grills that we can work with.
Overall shape is good. Very happy that it will also come AWD and I hope that if suspension sucks there is the Ohlins.

I have a feeling it that may have some cues from the lineage from the M1 and the grill may be slanted inwards.

Hopefully the front will have an eye pleasing design and performance figures that eclipse the current GTS and M8. It better go around the ring as fast as the NISMO.

Will defo get mine as EU delivery with the wheel on the proper side for Germany.

Yeah it's weird, usually by this time we have a grainy phone pic leak or a CAD drawing or something. They're doing a great job so far of keeping this one under wraps until Frankfurt.

I am building my mod list in my head already.

Needless to say car will be fully loaded.

Likely Brixton forged w big tires plus some serious suspension work.

I don't get these guys that buy Chinese knock off wheels for an m3 to park on the grass lmao.

One of the earlier spy shots is clear enough to see nearly the entire grill through the camo.

The nightmare is almost over....Or is it about to begin?

For some it is over as we've accepted the coming change. For others it is surely about to begin. Fright night in Frankfurt. Just in time for a pre-Halloween scare. Lol!

I think this is too busy. The trend towards penis compensation, giant grills, is unsettling. Nobody ever looked at a performance car, with air sucking lower intakes & splitters, and said "hey, they should add a grille down there."

I am thinking about this "grill"

The Frankfurt hot cakes are beginning to be unveiled so hopefully the 4 series will follow already this week...

Lol! I'm off and I don't go back to work Tuesday afternoon, so I'll be able to revel in the calamity.

Me checking bimmerpost home page to see if the concept leaked but instead get bombarded with hideous lime green M2, even more hideous Vision M Next, and somehow more hideous Vantablack X6.

Lol agreed, minus iND's M2 - that car is hot as fuck. Seen it in person many times.

Lol same here. Unfortunately I think the trend will continue with the G80 (or G22) preview next week but it’ll be way more interesting of a discussion/read!
