Horrendous is an understatement.

I'm gonna start looking into F80's now that the G80 is completely ruled out lol

This might be the only case where putting on a front plate would help the looks

V8 C63 will still be on sale for 2 more years, so for me, I'd go with the C63.

Luckily I already made my choice, M2, which I'm sure a lot of M3 buyers may defect to.

Do it.

Looks like the pigs from angry birds.

B3averFan · 10-23-2019, 12:19 PM

It's almost hysterical almost

In reality it's horrifying

bjcarls · 10-23-2019, 12:21 PM

Is this the 4 series or M3/4 frontend?

Mike_OGm2 · 10-23-2019, 12:24 PM

I am so disappointed!!!!!!!!!! It's too late to recover from this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tommy L Garage · 10-23-2019, 12:24 PM

I can't be the only one who likes it. I think it looks great - it's an evolution. People would complain if it stayed the same and people would complain if it was too similar to regular 3 series.

19x · 10-23-2019, 12:24 PM

Can we file class action over a horrendous design?

If I'm gonna go for AMG i'll go for an E63S Wagon, the wife does love wagons!

M2 is pretty much representative of the driving experience of previous generations of M3 anyway

Infinitely more excited about this than I was about the F80. The F80 killed the high revving NA engine and the excellent BMW HPS in one swat. Huge downgrades. The awesome chassis of the F80 and the robustness of the whole car were upgrades that weren’t known at the launch.

This time there is zero known downgrades in areas I’m passionate about. The car will most likely be massively faster and the engine & steering now more mature and the chassis/suspension further improved.

Radical design change? Big icing on the cake I’m so bored with the bland current language, doesn’t excite me at all. A big change is long overdue and I honestly think the new front looks great.

I think you are. 😕

Wow. It's hideous. This must be a wind up by BMW? General feedback is very negative on this thread. Surely BMW can see this is a pig.

I was excited about the prospect of buying a G80 M3, but so far having seen these images I don't care how good dynamically the car is, I couldn't spend my money on that.
