Oh dear, how tragic.

I am looking forward to the fake engine sound too.

For better or worse, we'll get used to it.
Biggest news, looks like a move to horizontal rather than vertical grille bars. I can't think of another BMW where this is the case in the nostrils?

This is true, but it still doesn't make it good looking. We get used to blokes wearing skinny jeans with wide tops and stupid quiffs, as well as mullets. This is the car equivalent.

Madre mia...how right you are; sadly!
I really think that we are seeing a deliberate attempt to make our world uglier. From architecture, to contemporary art, to fashion and music.

Are there any new cars now where you are just awe struck by their sheer beauty?

BMW's "design language" needs to stay away from the M3.. please.

Dear me that's bad.

It's the BMW Cullinan.

Perhaps those two things at the front are the speakers.

No no no. It's just a prototype it won't look like that when they release it

Give it some massive rear wheels and it will look just like that caricature car pictures

[thelostboy]

Got to me the ugliest road car made. Will be a massive joke we all look back at.

Does this mean the M3 will look like a normal 3 Series front, PLEASE?

The breadvan was always a bit marmite, personally I've always liked it, but I can totally understand why you wouldn't.

This is a response to the Chinese market - they want more "brand identity" in their cars, and all the players have started pushing their designs to be more obvious. Unfortunately for BMW this means more than just putting a big badge on it, it means going full beaver.

Might work for them, but to everyone else it's just a gauche monstrosity.

Very true it’s designed with the Chinese market in its sights, whether we like it or not that’s where the market is now the world is changing fast.

I think sales of the m4 will be low and people who wanted one will buy the m3 instead

Great thing is no one has to buy one if they don’t like it.

Buy an Audi or Marc or Jag or Tesla instead

M3 will get the same front end.

A Jag or Tesla as an alternative to an M3/4...

You might as well have put Scania.

[Cold]

Just needs a minor tweak...

^^Genuine LOL at that.
