Well I'm holding onto my M3CS for a long time. I see the F80's going up in value or holding steadily if this monstrosity of a grill is what we are being offered. No thanks BMW.

Given how hard it is going to be to get an F87 CS, and the likely price attached to it, I am guessing I will be looking elsewhere as well.

Looks great !
Seems like BMW is making bold design statements as of late and that's a good thing. Enough of this boring "more evolutionary than revolutionary" approach, we have Benz for that. Initially there will be noise (don't confuse with nose ), but masses will learn to like it and will line up to spend money on it. Next step...BMW please fix the boring G30 at the LCI !

Let me just say I think the proportions on this concept look sleeker and more attractive than the renderings I've seen. I didn't really like it at first, but it is kind of growing on me slowly. Let's hope that BMW maintains those lines and edges.

Might be ok in person but they could have revised the entire car and just modernized the kidney grills versus revamp the entire front. Definitely keeping my F80 now.

They did say that 85% of the concept will make it to the production vehicle. Maybe that 15% was contingent on the people’s reaction to the grill. Hopefully they’ll change it!

Beautiful Lexus. But seriously a good looking car concept. Unfortunately production version will be toned down, as always...

I like it better than I thought actually. It's cool. Better than the renderings, imo.
But the production version will be toned down and look worse for sure. |

The production version will take whatever good design cues from this concept and tone it down 200% to the point it doesn't even matter. Unfortunately the grill isn't going to shrink in size so either way its bye bye BMW for me. Besides the M850 everything they've been doing since the F80 has been a miss for me and this one just hideous Alan
