That’s cool

I personally wasn’t able to warm up to them

But they’re definitely not as shocking as they were in the very beginning

Highly unlikely. More like bmw may make the fromt end bigger so the grills are more proportional. That’s the upside we can hope for, nothing more

When does G80 end? That’s a long run for the G80 maybe more than any other Gen?

The F80 is now living on but as a Ferrari - go figure.

Adrian van Hooydonk is gone for good so this could be good (or not).

I don’t see why anyone would opt for an M4 when you can get an M2 xDrive that’s a bit lighter, more nimble and is expected to put out 500+ HP.
Because the M4 looks better!!!

The car is 100% better in person than pictures but I’m not sure what’s driving all the love for it. Maybe the performance and the big Youtube/Insta following these cars have? I’m not sure…

The oversized kidney grills is something I’ve learned to appreciate over time but initially I absolutely despised them

Your car in particular is very nicely done and everything really seems to flow in unison

I definitely like the looks of it but I am also into Grey’s

I believe the final month of G80 production is around 6/2026. Could be as late as 10/2026 but that would be the absolute latest.

I get the same feedback! All these ugly comments are feather weight.

G80 production began around 12/2020. If it ends 6/2026, that’s 67 months. If it ends 10/2026, that’s 71 months.

Definitely the longest run of any M3 ever built.

Yes, unfortunately so. Do what I did, buy a G82 before they are gone permanently.

My mom came by today and said I think I saw your car today and if it was, it has the most beautiful front end. She proceeded to go into my garage and said, “yep that was it”. Amazing how attitudes have changed (especially after aftermarket parts are added). 😅

That front end is hideous. Your mom was being nice. She probably thinks you're cool too.

My mom on the other hand never thought I was cool, so I never learned to spare people's feelings and tell them their car is ugly when it's ugly, lol. The base 3 series front end looks better.

First off I’m sorry to hear about your relationship with your Mom, but you know, you’re right. The compliments I get nearly every day are also from people just “being nice” who have great relationships with their mom’s. Lots of people in this world just “being nice” and haven’t grown to like the grill I guess. Wonder why they weren’t “being nice” with my previous BMW’s? 🤔
