The M4 will be looker this time as it should be, why else would you want to choose less space, the hassle to get in and out of the rear seats and deal with those long doors if not for looks? The G20 has a fugly shape and if this render is anything to judge from it transfers to the G80.

This here ^^^

Honestly my biggest beef with the car isn't the front, it's how soft the side profile has become compared to the muscular 3/4 and profile of the F-gen 3er/M3.

I said it when the G20 first came out, I much prefer the strong shoulder line of the F30/F80 over the multiple character lines of the new car.. this is part of what gives it its Lexus/Acura vibe. The rear almost looks droopy, akin to the w205 C class.

Anyway, I'm still exited to see the car fully revealed... with the F8x cars we had the engine controversy to keep us occupied (tri-turbo V6 anyone???) now we got BIG GRILL lobbying for their stake in BMW.

No matter how ugly this thing is you are hosed on resale. Even if it's ugly (which by all accounts and spy shots so far it appears it's certainly gonna be awful looking) the performance is going to be awesome.

It's all assumption which is more applicable to the new 4. All will be known in the next 3/4 months

If it does look like I'll cancel my order and get a M5C LCI

That rendition is crying out for nostril surgery
1- you definitely don't have an order to cancel
2- that grill is coming whether you like it or not

Who's going to be the first to spec an individual car out in Porsches' Ruby Star?

it's growing on me! I think it's going to make the current M3 look outdated pretty quick. excited for this car, may trade in the M2 for it.

How could countless renderings be growing on you? The car isn't even out yet.

This is correct. F80 M3 was not a limited production car so it will continue to depreciate no matter how ugly G80 M3 is. Limited edition cars like the 1M and Z8 hold value.

I saw the pic and my mind went to "is that an Alfa Romeo". Weird?

Back to regular programming, I'm having a difficult time with those monster grills. My 9yo son loves it. Maybe I'm too old school!

The car is not coming out until 2021 so reveal not until late summer or early fall. The car looks like crap from these renders anyway.
