Some actual pictures - looks a lot better in real pictures not the press release stuff. I'm going to have to see it in person to make my final opinion. We all hated the Bangle years back when it first came out, but none of you can say the e60m5 is a bad looking car now.

I do not like it even more on those photos 😥

I stated earlier in the thread that I like the interior and really do but I don't hate the exterior as viscerally you all. A month or so ago I had test drove a GT350, M2 Comp, F80 M3, and a Toyota Supra as I want a new daily (for my whopping 13 mile round trip commute). I was leaning towards the Supra but in the end I held off because I'm going to test drive this thing when it arrives.

I agree with Tyler. Same dislike for the E9x back then. Folks compared it to the Pontiac G8. Folks love the V8, but if I have to look at it everyday, I'll go crazy.

F80M just looks so good from every angle!

Yes I can

Almost all BMWs since E46 have been hideous.

Yes, the E60 is "better" than some of the newer stuff, but it's a far cry from E39 body. I guess it's impossible to beat e39/e46 looks, so everything is going to look off in comparison.

hahah! Tyler.... I just have a special place in my heart for the V10. I also think the f80m3 is an amazing looking car - would own.

Isn’t m2 comp like 1700kg?

yeah, M2c is within 50 lbs of an F82 M4 lol. Just has a shorter wheelbase.

I love the interior / Carbon seats, really sexy.

for the exterior (yuck with a 5% chance i might change my mind when i see it in person) surely, the design team followed the marketing insights. the target audience has changed whom are now; young, bold, hip, and rich (referring to their latest ads). If i remember correcty, previously their ads where about a rich business person in their 30's that wore a suit and then took off his tie and got in their M car to bash it. im 37 years old, and they probably want to fit me in the segment of having the M5, M8 or M2; it's no longer the iconic name of 'M3' like the good old days. In my opinion, just how we love the e46 M3, the M2 generations will be our updated replacement (love its looks or not).

Anyways, i think the new M3/M4 size is getting too large and driving an M2 competition kind of ticks the box for old e30/ e36/ e46 M3 generations (but turbo'ed)

(i own an e46 M3 and F82 M4)

It’s like in that video I posted above. The designer says that to complex and flashy designs get outdated in a year or two. Look at new Toyota and Honda. He says that top car companies used to manage designs that are simple and yet memorable and transformative with key point that help to distinct the car heritage. New BMW cars are none of that, really like a glorified ( read AliExpress body kits added) accord.

On the other hand, maybe we just old and too conservative here?

The entire design is a steaming pile of vomit. The front, the back, the sides. All of it is bad, really bad.

So yep, those new cars will be a best deal on the copart.com. You can get either seats or.... usually you hope that it was a rear end accident, but in case of new m3/4 you will be looking at cars with no front so you can retrofit 330 front end hehe.

Here’s that 330 front end concept

And here’s a cool approach. I like both of these designs more than what bmw is showing us...

You are joking right? 😳

$4000 for the seats is not that bad. Will they sell them separately so we can put them in e46? :-)

NOW you’re asking the real questions. Those would be ridiculous in an e46. I can’t lie I’m in love with those seats. A carbon bucket with street safety and comfort. At BMW quality.

I’m sure we will be able to buy them separately. They should have a PN. Curious as what they will cost alone. If someone made adapter mounts I would be down

£5000 for the M package on the M cars.
