Different doesn't always mean better though.
I want the M3 to be distinguished from the regular 3-series, but only in a manner consistent with its mission; where it is needed. I just don't want them to go overboard on the few opportunities they have to differentiate it if there is no need. The swollen wheel arches make room for larger rolling stock. The aggressive front fascia feeds air to the snarling alloy v8 and large front brakes. I question the gentle hood bulge if it is not necessary for clearance, and any other exercises in frivolity. I will accept a few stylistic accents as long as they add to the overall experience of the shape, and not stray too far from necessity. I think BMW will come through with a great design, hopefully something that everyone interested in can grow to love in time if they are not completely moved by it initially.
