Since they refuse to admit the M8GC, isn't actually an M6GC.

The M4GC is the M3. They both share the same platform.
Geeeeee. Thanks for the insight

It's ok... feels like BMW is trying too hard to be like the competition when they shouldn't. F80 looks better

I really can't wait to see the real thing on the G80... I think a sedan with this in-your-face front end could be pretty sweet... especially in a manual

I still do not believe this is real... but lets for 2 seconds assume it is-

1) Why is the front so chiseled and the sides so round?

2) This almost reminds me of a cadillac or an older man's car with the huge front of a Lexus.

3) Why change the front of the car from the base car its built on to this degree? They've never done this before. I haven't seen a design this confused from BMW yet... except maybe the 8 series which so far has sold probably 10 cars worldwide.

The M4GC is the M3. They both share the same platform.

So wait... are you telling me the ol' 6GC was actually a 5 series ... and are you also breaking the news to me the M8GC is really a 7 series ... if that's the case the 4GC... must be the same as the 3 series sedan...

Holy SH*T...

JK, please see yourself out.

I thought I would officially be making my way to the Porsche dealership in hopes of buying a slightly used 992.1 911, due to the hood bulge being removed. This hood bulge has been a staple of the M3/M4 for so long and is a tradition.

After taking the time to let these photos grow on me I have had a change of heart. The lines on the G80 are gorgeous enough to make me wait for what's in store.

I'll enjoy my 2016 F80 at least until 2021 before rushing my decision.

When the M5 came out, it was pretty close to the render so this could be what it looks like.

Can't wait to get the G80 if it's remotely close to this, besides I'm more in love with what's under the bonnet anyways.
This is the only one I liked because it hides the grill and has that new pattern as the new 3er does that I like. It needs this aggressive bottom portion as well.

The rear looks like an X3M

Speaking of cars that M won't build, how about a Z4 M with a manual!
If Toyota is promising a stick on the SupraZ, there might be hope.

So the front grill is not functional, it's just a cosmetic piece.

These renderings seem more in line with an Asian automaker rather than German.
