The hood is worse than the grill
Anyone agrees? I will probably wait for 3rd party vendors to make redesigned hoods and grills before I get a G80. So sad that I have to live with my 60k-mile f82 for a least another 2 years.

Why even purchase the car then if your going to redo the a majority of the exterior? There is a let down that the power dome is finished.

I buy my BMWs for performance and am shocked at how loud the "i don't like barbie's top this year" wailing is. Last edited by Avaley; 09-23-2020 at 10:20 PM.. |

Agreed but I quite like the grill and overall design. That leaked hood pic from months back was accurate though... aftermarket exterior will be interesting for this car as it already is very busy.. I love the launch colors too interior and exterior, very bold. It's very in your face. M3 used to be about the guy crunching numbers during the week and smashing some back roads on the weekend. It's hardly take the boss out to lunch anymore it's got a lot of pizzazz..

As a person who really likes the large grills, I have to agree that the hood is not that good. I would have prefered if they kept the M3 traditional hood bump, but the worst aspect to me are the two scalloped creases on the front of the hood. They are totally pointless and ruins an otherwise clean design. As others pointed out, it looks like the scalloped hood of a 2014 dodge charger. if those two hood creases were gone, there would be very clean, strong lines running from the front grill up through the hood. Now, those scallops are just jarringly interrupting of the design.

Nope, disagree... as for the second part, you are absolutely right! Its a great reason not to buy a car just because you do not agree with the hood line design... I recommend you check out Kia as rescently they had some interesting designs in their portfolio that might suite your tastes better

I agree it's horrible and so not BMW... Reminds of a Pontiac G8 or Dodge Charger...
