BMW totally nailed the design of the M3/M4 and 3/4 series. I can't say that enough.

I saw a white M4 on the road when driving home yesterday (white with what looked like a cf roof).

A very happy owner was behind the wheel.

The looks great and certainly shows its connection to the M3.

My only gripe is thar the front and rear bumpers are overly busy looking.

Off topic, I saw a new Mustang on the road last week. They did an amazing job in evolving the car to somtething quite modern while keeping the Mustang identity.

this, i also think the front and rear bumpers (especially front) look very busy. the rear bumper on the e9x look pretty busy already but the f80 is even busier imho.

but from the rear though, the car looks great, i love how wide (flare) the car gets

I saw a M4 in Sakhir Orange on the road couple of days ago. It looks absolutely impressive! It looks so nice when the sun hit the orange paint. It really pops. I don't think the bumper looks busy at all.

Thought I'd share here. Fairly impressive results for a 100% stock car. Testing was done using a JB4 tuning system and ethanol mixed with 91 octane. Car is otherwise factory. 5th gear pulls
