Camo'd M4 CSL with better look at redesigned grill and aero. Grill looks better than with just the horizontal slats, but still not my ?

… I dislike the new facelift … it’s too drastic a change and does not match the rear design … I like my old M4 better … for now …

And the say they Zs grill is ugly….it’s got nothing on these two
I think the Z's grille is actually bigger than the M3/M4. It's the execution that sets them apart. The Z is just a big simple rectangle that pays homage to the 240Z, while the BMWs look like the designers just slapped on two coffins and called it a day.

Now you mentioned it … the grill does look like two C side by side … it’s just way over whelming to look at … back to the drawing board …

… the new M4 appears to be larger than previous M4 …. But I still like the older version …

The thing on the right is enormous and incongruous... otherwise some nice photos.

Always loved the E36 M3, and this makes me appreciate it so much more versus where we're at now. It's like the designers just, stuck their hands into the kidney grills and just, yanked 'em wide open

I always loved the look of the E36 and E46, but when I look at those pictures I just can't take my eyes off the E90... but I am definitely bias ?

I never cared much for the F80 until recent but damn does it look good here next to that wreck. Makes me want to go out and buy a E90 or F80, but engine probs from 1 BMW are more than enough for me.

Ha, hear you and agreed. Would love to get hands on an E30/E36/E46/E90 chassis - especiallyyy a wagon - and fix that engine headache with a swap. Best of both worlds! One day…
