I'm sure details and more pics will come out very soon, but saw these out on social media.

I think it's exactly what everyone is expecting anyway.

A bit tacky for my taste.

Digging the engine though.

How can one look at this without throwing up?!

Pure garbage design.

Order banks opened on Monday (1/16) as "2024 M3 Allocation Special Edition". One unit per M-certified dealer, and they had until noon yesterday (1/18) to submit their orders.

I'm disappointing they didn't use the front end of the new CSL.

They literally did. This is the M4 CSL, from the same angle as the one above:



Same CF hood, same bumper cover, same splitter, same grille, same intakes.

Blame the photographer. It looks fine to me. Which other cars in this group look better?

As in the segment? I'd argue the RS 5 Sportback and the Giulia QF look way better. But I'd easily take the G80 M3 over either of them.

I for one am not super surprised they chose not to use the 100% hand-formed carbon fiber front body panels off of their $750,000 museum piece, on what amounts to a regular production car.

Best M3 ever. The E46 was good but this was BMW at its peak.

Checkmate! E92 M3 is where it's at for me, even though I prefer i6s to V8s.

A perfect blend of modern, simple styling with subtle aggressive touches like the smoothly flared fenders and the last M3 I consider to be the "Ultimate Driving Machine". NA V8 revving to 8k, amazing hydraulic steering, and 6mt/dct! Love this car so much.
