I'm afraid the grill will eat me...
...but seriously, holes that size in the front will only work with dark paint imho...
Holy Smoke ! ...
The new BMW M3 What do you think ? Photo credit: Mark at Scenemedia Driver: Chris Harris Tyres: Gone ! ...
Wayyyy better!
Driving beamers for 20 years, but with this grotesque front styling they lost me.
Style never gets old
You’re doing just fine, dear Raymond. The i8 will be a classic. I doubt the new M4 will attain that status.
Thanks my friend.....the look of it still attracts lots of attention, didn’t get old at all after 6+ years since it’s release 2014...
I think so too, now that it’s discontinued, it will only get better as long as no reliability issues.
It's definitely a cool car too!
Aluminum skateboard chassis, mid-engine, carbon fiber reinforced plastic tub, and thermoplastic panels. Only one other car company makes their cars that way; and it's McLaren!
Chris Harris is quite likable most of the time!
He's a good balance of both entertaining and technical. Although I wished he were more technical at times.
Chris knows when to get technical....
and when people just want to see cars going sideways.
Ahh, yes, those GT3s don't drive themselves!
Overall, I really appreciate his style of honesty first journalism (although I could do without the graphic comments and cursing). He was willing to put his relationship with Ferrari on the line by exposing the truth about Ferrari's unfair testing procedu...
Great picture!
I saw the new M3 recently and came away a little disappointed. I actually like the new kidney grille and prefer it to the cross-hatched plastic of the M340i. However, I thought BMW did a poor job with the back, essentially leaving the nice, but conservati...
Looks over-styled, so it won't be a timeless design.
Compare it to the E46 M3 which was love at first sight, and styled in a way that will stand the test of time. ...
I wish it was mine. I have a one generation newer M3, but I still think the E46 M3 is the most beautiful.
And I agree...the rims are really nice.
I actually like the Chris Bangle design era BMWs now!
I don't dislike the new one as badly as some of you, but I don't find it very elegant. I have seen the new 430i coupe in the USA market and it's not entirely elegant. However, the new 430i is not as bad in person as this picture suggests though. The probl...
Have not sern one yet, but
the design is very cool, almost "Zagato" like front grill, with this big nose: top! Best pick of the range? If M then M4, because it is a two door coupe. BUT: the M440 i is more than enough and would be my pick.
Please allow me to disagree
This is not Zagato character. Zagato are light, essential and fluid body line. It is avant-garde yet minimalistically voluptuous, even the kamm and double bubble is perfect balancing elements. I would say modern M4 F and G are very accomplished sportscar ...
Good to hear your opinion ...
Many of the Zagato designs have featured large front grill designs and aerodynamic openings. This was the link between the Zagato design language and the new BMW that “The Count” mentioned. As for the weight issue this is a problem with the majority of mo...
Yes Capt you are correct
BMW is trying to copy that engine cover design. Zagato's are always natural and fluid. Perhaps if I may choose such character with teutonic twist of style and manufactrer, it would be Audi. I try to think of this new giant kidney as extension of 1960/1970...
To many it will look avantgarde now, the new BMW
But people who know car design longer and better it is not really new. However: I like that design grill a lot!
Zagato vs BMW design?
Sorry even for me who I am Bavarian... Zagato made timeless jewels of italian elegance and sportiv designs... BMW despitr very little exceptions as Z8 makes mainly anonymous mass production cars... Youbare comparing donkeys with race horses
I only refered to the design, and to the front grill only
The DB 7, in particular; This one had possibly the most prominent grill at its time, like the BMW now. Also by the simmilar poportions of both. Picture sourced from Satin Martin ...
That is one very sexy prominent grill, the whole front fascia is gorgeous.
Actually the whole car is true zagato. so beautiful. voluptous yet sexy toned
What do you guys think of this version of M 3/4
I personally fell this is actually better than regular M3.4 still not to my liking but better LOL ...
To make things even more confusing 😀
I do see a stormtrooper in that grill: Source: starwarsfendom.com ...
Butter Face
BMW lost me when the ///M cars got turbos. They are now fast but soo heavy. I am very focused on car control and turbo lag does not feel good to me. I wanna breath off throttle to hit an apex but turbo gasps. I still have a beater 318ti for leaving at the...
I missed his title
Now I read it again lmAo. However like you, vitalsigns, Kamal said E46 is the finest .
Please forgive me. Honestly now I am imagining a date
,gorgeous yet bogey revealing sexy nostril 🤐

Quite ugly, trying to hard....
a reflexion on are times perhaps, aggressivity and roughness. I regret sensuality and harmony. Cheers, Francois
Plate positioning is similar to Audi. Alpha Romeo perhaps did it better but the grill is smaller.

The pic is cool
I think that the grille will grow on me like the Audi grilles did...took awhile...former e45 M3 owner btw...had 2003 black sapphire metallic...I also think that this is a color specific model...the green looks cool.
