I disagree

It's a nice design until you consider the disproportionate grill that has been slapped on the front
Curious to know what elements of the design you find distinguishing/exciting/appealing?

At the very best it's "inoffensive", but that seems a low bar.
I like a rear quarter shot

I actually prefer the previous design

It's just something fresh and I always appreciate chance

However the new design language doesn't bode well with the UGE a** grills

They aren't even in the same price range. You'd be better off comparing a 992 and an M8.

Make sure your not mixing the M3 and M4 up. The M3 has the more aggressive looking flares due to the extra door.
Yes and No.

I'm being a bit pedantic but it's due to the regular 3 being a little narrower than the regular 4.

Once they get the M treatment and rear sub frames blah blah they go to the same rear track widths as M3 and M4s.

This as the 3 has had to grow a bit more. It gets the hips

The first 5 seconds when it comes around the corner looks legit

I am super excited with the unveiling and getting to test drive next year.

Not sure what you mean, but this is definitely not a convertible...just a regular M4 Coupe

Stage 1+ this platform will be damn quick. Honestly, this car might be too much speed for me.

I'm sorry, I know I'll get flamed for this but the car just looks so big and floaty. I know I'm not the only one that see's this.
I haven't been up to date but what's the weight of the M3 and m4's ..anyone have ideas or hidden knowledge?

The new M3 / M4 duo will sell quite well because there aren't too many alternatives for existing fan base.

The only constant is change.

Floaty?! Did you see the way it corners in that ring video? Almost zero roll!

Lol if you call that "almost zero roll" then I should just poke my eyes out and never step foot on a race track again. 😂

Don't forget a lot of the noise of this is muted for EU restrictions (they hate gas cars in the EU). Hopefully we get a better exhaust sound in the US and no rev restriction at idle!

For a street car the new M3/M4 corners pretty damn flat.
