M3 hood line :(

[JS919]

Why not get rid of the ugly door and trunk lines as well? That'd look awesome. You could get in Duke's of Hazard style and then use the the fold down rear seats for trunk access.

Pass legislation requiring all pedestrians to wear coats/clothes with horizontal lines - that way the pedestrian's clothing and not the car absorbs the crash energy - that way nobody will complain about the hood line on these forums anymore...

Key is to just accept it and either get over it or buy a different car - life can throw far worse things at you than something this trivial...

I am buying the car. I am over it but would love it if it were changed(period). In the grand scheme of things any of what we discuss on this forum is trivial and we are blessed to be in a position to have time to discuss and own these cars

All it takes is a good welder and you can ride "Dukes of Hazard" style but I'm too old for that I'll stick with the comfort access

I chose the hood brow delete option. Ordered it in SBM!

Yea haha! Thanks to Sam that took the picture and I loved it! Even tho it's a bit pricy on the CCB but hell it's looks nicer and it's def worth money for it. The Standard brake looks like father version of 335i's M performance brakes and CCB is on the top peak as a master piece

Just like tan lines, hood lines can also be a thing of beauty

[GBPackerfan1963]

Sounds like someone can't let go of the "Bangle" era.

I think the better analogy is walking up on a super model eating pizza. She is gorgeous but you still hope she won't mind if you wipe that pizza sauce off her face.

Not if you like the hood line (which I do). Your analogy would, to me, be like asking Cindy Crawford to get rid of the mole on her upper lip...

I agree. I wish there was a retro hood to get rid of they fugly line.

This. Just like my Tundra. That hood line is hideous... but on the other hand, I'm only noticing it now because someone pointed it out. Gee, thanks!

Somebody will probably manufacture that silliness. There may be hope for you yet.

Noticed that design feature when the Z4 came out. Thought it looked odd then but got used to it. Yes, I still think it would be better to not have it there but it's not going to stop me from picking the M3 up next year.

NO, LCI won't change that.

How do you know? The e90 mustache was eliminated on the E90 LCI.

Ok, hold your breath (..the mustache change didn't affect the essential hood line location). Will you put me on your life insurance policy?

I won't hold my breath, but I'll keep my fingers crossed... for 2-3 years. Does that work for you?

That won't get me paid (..at least not soon enough), so no, it won't work for me.

[M4TW]

Or why not draw attention away from that unsightly hood line with a good set of clips and a scoop!!!

[BD SM3RF]

This stuff cracks me up. Gotta do something while I wait for my new M3 with the hood line I'm not 100% crazy about
