Artemis,
I recall on BMW's website it said something along the line that all M cars had an "A" type front fascia. I can't find it now, but that was a really cool insight into M car design and something I never noticed before. Really helped me distinguish from a distance an M car "A" fascia from say an "M Sport" car which has the same design except upside down "∀". Do you remember that? UPDATE: Applies to the E85 (Model Year 2006) and later models. Thanks to Law for pointing this out. Last edited by Tag; 05-11-2018 at 08:50 AM.. |

E9X. Subtle yet aggressive.

The E92 and the E60 M body styles are some of BMWs best. Although the newer M's are nice, I still love the way those M's looked.

F9X probably the most legit (no unnecessary flaps) but the F90 M5 looks angry.

Definitely looks good - but when compared to the newer designs, looks a little softer to me now if that makes sense. Not necessarily bad, just an observation.

Maybe we should also add more fins to the roof like the Evo 8 and a few extra body vents that do nothing.

Agree with this completely. The old M2 fangs were too big for my tastes. The new one tones it down and looks better IMO.
