    Nope. Hideous things are hideous, regardless of the product, brand, or time. I currently own 6 M-cars, 2 other BMWs, had 20+ Ms and regular BMWs from different eras in the past - and I bought all of them not only because I liked the way they drove, but because I also liked how they looked. New design language will be the end of me buying new BMWs, and I'm not the only one. Whether BMW can afford to loose their long-time core customers, chasing Asian markets with idiotic designs is yet to be seen. Sales of new BMWs are down 15.3% in Q1, 39.3 decrease in Q2, and again down 16.2% in Q3. Ding-ding-ding.
    Yes agreed. I'd go Audi or Benz before I buy a new BMW.

    Once I get my hands on a E60 M5 and E39 M5 I will be done with BMW.

      To take the conversation a slightly different direction what are examples of well designed coupes and sedans that are currently in production?

        As much as i dislike the front grills, the Euro license plate kinda separates the huge grills and makes it look more appealing that the U.S no front license plate.

          Umm, Aston DB11/Vantage, Porsche 911 GT3, Volvo Polestar, AMG GT Coupe, Lamborghini Hurracan, McLaren P1, I can go on. New BMW M5 is actually a wonderful design, so you know they can do it right.

            I guess I should have clarified my request. Cars in a similar price range to the M3 or M4. Say under 90k MSRP. What you listed are really high dollar cars/semi exotics, except for the Volvo.

              The thing I miss most is that m cars always have a smile or a frown. They have a... mouth.

              This thing just has a big nose

                OK, fair. Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrifoglio, Porsche Cayman, Audi RS6, Infiniti Q60, Jaguar F-Type, again, I can continue. All of these are under $90k and I would pick any of these over new M3/4 without even thinking.

                  BMW should have hired Chip Foose.

                    I'd take a base model 911 over an M4 any day. Could get a Panamera Turbo and keep function while being faster in every way.

                                I can confirm the new M4 is uglier in person.
