Tell me about your Bulge!!

Is the bonnet bulge very noticeable from the driving position, I really cant remember from when I have briefly sat/driven in the M3/4?

I ask because I always liked the bonnet bulge/contours from the driving seat in my old C63 and was hoping the M4 was going to be similarly impressive

It's the one thing I notice when I get in the car - always makes me chuckle.

Yup, there's a permanent bulge while driving.

Brings a smile to your face every day.

Not keen on the flat top, the e92 was better, plus when the sun is low in the sky it reflects and bounces off the surface right into your eyes.
