This is going to sound harsh but its an opinion.

I'm not in the same camp. Getting a black car to hide the obviousness of the grille is not something I will do. Either it looks good or not; if I had have get a color to 'hide' the lines, forget it, I'm out. At this price point, I feel as consumers, we should not have to compromise our choices. My personal take is that black is generally a terrible color choice as it's a hard color to keep clean.

The issue with the G80 is not just the grille; its about the inherent design choices to increase the weight. Power just hides the weight gain, it to me, inherently, isn't what an M3 should be. If you look around you, other brands have continually made strides and improved their products. Technically, the only upgrade is power and AWD (which other brands have done). For people who track cars, ask them if heavier cars are a problem on consumables and get back to me.

Drift meter to score my drifts? Are you kidding? How often is that going to be used? I used to make excuses for BMW, but no longer.

The new gen G80s may look 'aggressive' but they have lost the trademark looks that define a BMW. Look at the rear, it looks like a RC F sport from Lexus from a far.

If I wanted 4 doors and a high hp engine, its a M5, not an M3.
