@bman76 I raced with these in iracing yesterday...i was scared of looking in my mirror...

[WhoIsTheLeader]

Is this the first car ever to look worse as a racecar?

[Roundbadge]

@bman76 Good heavens, those are awful.

[GibbsEmphasis]

This looks worlds better than the regular 4-series’ “silver surfer sat here” grille though

[Bman76]

@whoistheleader possibly. That’s a hard feat to accomplish.

[Bman76]

@italianjobr53 yeah, it somehow kinda induces a fear response. Am spooked.

[ItalianJobR53]

@bman76 at least I was in the GTE C8, so I could run away from them GT3s

I think so!

[Shop-Teacher]

@bman76 It looks like an ardvark.

That’s being unnecessarily mean to aardvarks.

@bman76 Hoping they pull a "2019 Camaro SS" with this one and fix it way before the LCI.

Yeah, you're right. I are ashamed.

[ToniCipriani]

Confirmed: those fangs are out for blood.

@tonicipriani It looks like a vampire that sucks the, ummm, red loctite? Out of the other cars.

"Hans, what is this?"

"I... er... photocopied my butt cheeks, sir. Are you mad?"

"No, Hans. In fact... let's make it the new grille!"

[Snuze]

@tonicipriani Clicked this just for BIG M8 memes. Thank you for not disappointing me.

[TheTurbochargedSquirrel]

My team painted the front of ours black which helps but it's still not a good looking nose.

[RamblinRover]

@bman76 Not sure if it's better or worse after kidney harvesting.

[Skyfire77]

@bman76 I'm going to buck the trend here, but I'm okay with how that looks. If anything, I'm more distracted by how they've apparently recycled a pair of lamp posts to hold the wing...

Just needs some chromy bits and you have the new Dodge Charger.

@skyfire77 I think the M4’s actual proportions are great. It’s a nice car to look at. The grille is fine by me too.

I feel like a lot of us have a tendency to overly anthropomorphocize whatever car we’re looking at. “Look at how big that BMW’s nostrils are!!”

If you look at it just as a re-imagining of where the grille design fits on the car, the M3/4 are actually plenty cohesive.

Well now that is going to haunt my dreams!
