The front end of the F82 is hunching up and getting ready to eat the ground with its labia teeth while grimacing like a mf. In other words, it looks awful.
However, I do like the rear deck, taillights, side skirts, engine bay and interior (minus the steering wheel and seat emblems) of the F82. Did I mention how terrible the front end on the F82 is? It's so impossibly bad.

I wanted to quote Swamp but getting a DB error (up w/ a toothache; maybe the db is offline), as I agree. Thanks for this post, Jason. This design is very evolutionary ... safe. But then, I like 911s' history and Porsche, with the 911, is the very definition of the term. Interior is where the leap has been made; and I suspect in the electronics also. Way of the future (more on electronics and drive-train efficiency)? -- V

Not so. The last three ///M3's have had some hood ventilation. E36, E46, E92.

Arthur St. Antoine of Motor Trend magazine says about the E9X: "World's single greatest car? Seriously? Yes – the new BMW M3 is unquestionably a contender. Probably no other car combines so many virtues – speed, handling, good looks, roominess, practicality – into one package. Driving the new BMW M3 is an absolutely blissful experience, flooding your brain with dopamine as if you were arriving to courtside seats at the Lakers game with Jennifer Connelly on your arm." -and- "If you put an F1 car and a premium sedan in a blender, the M3 would be the cocktail that pours out. Mmmm, nothing else like it. A toast then: To the BMW M3, the greatest all-around car in the world."
Let's just hope this new one can live up to the big shoes it has to fill.

Not sure what the argument is - the F82 looks better from every angle inside and out, it's a great improvement on an already good looking car. And it will perform better as well and it's lighter to top it off.
The only area where the E92 will always have it beat is the sound of that glorious V8, but that's about it.... Once again, no argument here, F82 hands down... |

longer wider lower power up weight down. - perfect
style wise for me in real life the M4 has presence especially the rear quarter. something no photo really captures. the e92 seemed like reverse teardrop shape to me hence why i preferred the e90. now the coupe stands out. sedan looks good in person too but not as athletic as the coupe to me.

Some of us don't want our cars too large. The M4 crosses my threshold and is too big. Drive a new 3 series to get a hint of the increased size. When I replace my M3 I may go for a smaller -and faster - Corvette. A shame after 8 years of M3s.

It's funny reading some of these posts bashing the M4. What does the E92 have that tops the specs of the M4? For some is the looks and sound? I can't even explain that some like the old interior better...really? you probably have a cassette player too? well, I guess it's different strokes for every folks!
Get over it peeps, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. The M4 hands down is the new M3 and wins in every angle. We don't know its true performance yet so why even talk about it? We'll see who gets smoked at the track :-) |
