Obviously M are way, way too cool for such a mea culpa. But it wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer retooled to address their loyal enthusiast audience https://www.autoblog.com/2019/05/02/...ency-facelift/
But Camaros are boomer cars, so surely n/a for M's master strategy.

Like for me, I had a form to sign about a deposit and stuff. That never happened as they actually never processed it. Think for some, it's just a formality. I can never confirm this though. At least with SoCal is concerned, we are our own little economy here. It's easy to go from South Bay to DTLA Porsche to Beverly Hills... to San Diego Porsche etc lol And yup! I'll post some pics when I get it later

Years ago at BMW Niederlassung Dortmund, Germany, I saw two Z8s in the service shop. One was that rare two-tone edition; black and ivory, I think. This may be weird to many, but I caught myself thinking the other day that the E63 6 Series is actually starting to look good. Damn it, Bangle.

Those dive planes!
Rear valence is a Pep Boys special. the whole car has this flavor. Like a home garage build or fake ac schnitzer.

This is like your old high-school classmate with trashy sweatpants that say "juicy" on the back and she got zero ass. Least to say that we have come a long way in the last decade, folks. From E8x/E9x Performance aero (whole new bumpers and side skirts!), over bespoke Recaros, short-shift kits, almost-but-still-not-really gaudy M stripes, upgraded cooling & power kits to triangle exhausts and some CF add-ons that only exaggerate the bad stock wheel fitment.

Man the 'wings' on the underskirt are gigantic. Super gaudy if you ask me. And the front bumper on that angle has that extended lip at the bottom that is flat which also looks silly.

We agree that the front grille is atrocious. The rear really feels Lexus like. I took this from Lexus. The design cues are strongly Lexus, especially with the removal of the Hoffmeister kink. This is the 2021 Lexus RC F Sport. |

Are the actual GT cars that races have that sort of exhaust setup? I want to hope that is where they got this from.

When the ISF came out the M guys trashed the up and down offset exhaust pipes so hard. Now here we are with an M3 that literally looks more like a new version of that ISF than an M car. I hope the Blackwing saves me from the sports sedan hell we are living in today. |

Do those running boards deploy and retract like my F-150 when I open and close the door?
