Exterior: E92 > F82
E46 M3 is still the best looking by far. Interior: M4 is much better obviously than any previous //M3. |

Other than the time spent designing those hideous front and rear bumpers on the new model
The designers didn't spend very much time doing anything else What's with the mish mash of lines and curves that don't meet correctly or flow? Both bumpers looks ricey, compared to the sleek lines of the e92 bumpers To me it's like someone who's trying too hard to make it different Not someone who's trying to design a nice clean shape I think the e92 shape has aged very well Doesn't look old, and still looks good To me the new model looks a little Japanese I.e. Overdone and in your face type styling Can't believe we get this shit after the bangle years Thought we'd already paid our dues in that respect

I wouldn't exactly call the E92 heavy. After all the marketing the new M4 is only 80kg lighter. Basically an adult passenger away from an E92. Torque is a different story, the turbo-6 will definitely provide more of that.

Gathering from what I've read in these posts, it's hard to let go with the old M3. I for one was a big fan until the M4 came out. The M4 has a meaner look. Everyone will have their own opinion but given time when the M4 starts gaining more enthusiasts and how it will outperform many cars on paper, the naysayers will start praising more how nice the M4 really is. Comparing the old with the new, it's obvious that the M4 has a sleeker, aggressive look to it. The M4 looks like a professor next to his M3 student :-)

The car feels heavy regardless of what is on the paper. The lack of tq and having to rape your rpm over 8000 to achieve full power is the culprit of the feeling of a heavy car. I am sure e92 fanboys will make love to their exhaust pipes all night until they drive a much quicker and agile new M. Until then we just have to deal with all of this.

why the new m3/4 do not have those cut outs/grills in the hood near the air filter dome? e46 and e90 had them... Considering how "flat" and "empty" the hood is on F3/4 series, I think something needs to be there...

Because they aren't needed with the S55. Also, E46 did not have them, only the E92 had the hood vents (one was a dummy).

F82 in every conceivable aspect.
Even the larger size is an improvement if you ever have to put actual humans in the back seat (as I have to every day). Interior, exterior, power, weight, tech, fuel mileage, double bubble carbon roof, all better than the E92... and I love the E92. F82 for me, and I'll take it in polarizing Austin Yellow please. It will be loved and hated, but never ever ignored or mistaken for a generic coupe. |

Interior: E92
Exterior: E92 Autoblog on the E92 M3, "A special car, in perhaps its best ever specification, that's leaving us all too soon." This will be my last M3. Can't stand the poor build quality of the F3X from which it is derived. That leaves me looking at a 991 4S or 550 PS.
