Just seems utterly mental to me, just to be “first”. I’m trying to help you out here man. Get your £500 back ASAP

It goes towards the car and is refundable.
And I fully appreciate what you're saying.
I got my foot in the door and that's all
That may not lead to a purchase
If sales are sluggish you're right and the best case of that we have seen is the x3m recently

So I'll wait and see. I'm not desperate for the car

End of cooling problems

Rear is ok, as expected but damn that front is just....I just hope to like it better in person

Seems a body-colored-panel running between the grilles horizontally would break it up and allow for a better look for an American plate.

I think he is maintaining internet silence.

You are going to have to get it from a company like IND.

This new one will be uglier, heavier and less raw driving experience.

G80 buyers will be those who leased F80, need AWD, or blind!

At least the New M3 will look better than this epic disaster!

Don’t let the BMW designers see this.

The F80 will bottom, and start to rise like all other M3s before it.

The right spec will be key to the future value.

Personally it growing on me but the major cons I see are
1. Headlights look completely like a Kia
2. The grill issue- I don't think it looks bad but it's not nice either.
3. Overall the front bumper needs help. Bottom line

You wouldn't want to be seen driving it! Imagine paying all that cash and showing it off to your friends and they are all having a laugh behind their hands thinking why has he/ she bought that lemon ! It's no looker

Not for years. They're still dropping like a stone and can't sell. I almost bought one before deciding on my M6 GC which is also dropping like a stone. F80 is an awesome M car but it's also largely undesirable by many. Several private sellers were upside down and still couldn't give me the keys quick enough. That scared me away.

Back in topic, these grills are probably a combination of cooling, aero and a brash appearance trying to set itself apart from every car on the road. Ugly as sin in my opinion but maybe it'll grow on me like the new X5 grill has. Seeing the new M850i GC in person, made me realize the huge plastic grill looks cheap as fawk and completely ruins a beautiful car otherwise. I'm a huge BMW fan but I find myself going back in year models and caring less and less about performance.

Thanks, now i'm blind.

I think im good with the 330 and 340. This new m3 although going to be a beast. Not worth it in my eyes lol.

So, there is a real question, and to me, only BMW has the answer. Will they follow the same process, or will they change and keep the 3 Series’ front end as we know it today, for ever, or re adapt it because of the 4 Series ...
For now, excuse me, but nobody knows

So all of the M3 spy shots that clearly show this behemoth of a grille are fake? Whaaaaatever buddy 🙄

I've read that BMW might reveal it (in images) at Geneva on March 3rd. The car seems all ready to go so they might as well.

A lot of folks will initially hate the new design direction of the 3/4, but the M3/M4 has always turned out to look great.

Renders look good.
