Agree 100%. Beyond just the styling, the amount of E46 folks pissing and moaning about the size, weight, poor braking performance, etc. was non-stop and many went on to buy the E9x. And some of those now say it is the benchmark and there will be no more like it...
I'm not enamored with the styling of the M4 either, especially the very busy front and rear bumpers and hood cut line, but I am sure it will grow on me just as the E9x has over the years. Driving personality and performance will be the ultimate factors into how well received this car is. Bring on the F80 M3!
