like i said in the other thread.. it even looks agressive in camo.. cant wait to see it

Looks great, but the front looks different to the current 3er!

It looks to have 5er kidney grills, is that how it's going to be in the end!

it has different headlights? looks great even with that camo on.

I noticed the same thing, along with different kidney grills. So this is what I'm thinking; M models are going to become more differentiated from standard models. Look at the M6, the molding around the front lights is completely different, so perhaps this is just the next step in a new M philosophy of design. I guess the wolf in sheep's clothing theme is no more, which I'm not sure is a good thing. I kind of liked how older M cars weren't so easily recognizable. However, if you look at the e46 M3, it screams performance, as does the M5 and M6. After spending a long period of time with the new M5, I kind of like it's almost over the top look. It makes the car look and feel (the interior is a work of art) as special as it drives. I just don't want M cars to start having huge amounts of extra/tacky visual aids, like the useless M gills on the new M5.

Something is a little off. Look at the grille, it does not have the chromed bits above the grille like the E90 does, nor is there a space where they would go if they have simply been omitted. Either that or BMW's camo people are excellent at what they do.

I'm guessing the M3 sedan will have the same front as the coupé, making the M cars more simular and recognizable

I think the OTT styling is a reflection of the time we live in - especially in the UK and US - where everyone who has money wants to flaunt it (see rappers

PG - I agree with you on the most part. However - having said that E30 M3 wasn't exactly subtle was it...

Getting a little crowded in here.
