maybe an M3 from this new generation worthy of being called an M3 (not getting my hopes up)

The G80 more than lives up to the M3 Nameplate. Believe me.

Darth One · 03-04-2021, 05:43 PM

But of course they will. $12k MSRP for the ‘50th Anniversary Appearance Package’ option? Or more

n55f15 · 03-04-2021, 05:53 PM

Do you have any idea if these are gonna be something substantial? Or is it just gonna be some stickers

Gaudy interior like the Jahre and unwanted headrest embroidery for an ungodly sum I'm sure

DanG · 03-04-2021, 08:23 PM

No. A plaque on the dash.

Alpine* · 03-04-2021, 08:53 PM

How bout a smaller lighter M3 version, oops M2

Bumpinjeep · 03-05-2021, 10:21 AM

Call of Duty Modern Warefare M4 edition, with M4 Carbine stickers on dash, claymore stickers on wheels, and tactical reload bumpers.

unfoundnemo · 03-05-2021, 10:28 AM

I'd be down for something more palatable than a Kith logo on the roof.

spuntyb · 03-05-2021, 10:37 AM

Would be nice if they offered any Individual paint for free or a flat $1k for that year

Why would you say this? Because you don't like the way it looks? What if I do? Looks are so subjective it seems silly to complain about it.

And regardless of how it looks, I'm 100% positive it blows the F80 away. It's a real M3, trust me.

Crimson92 · 03-05-2021, 10:43 AM

Did somebody say more badges?

Retkeur · 03-05-2021, 10:58 AM

What BMW should really do is reconsider the M Vision Next and make it a reality.

That would be a proper 50th anniversary offering.

What, are you the only one allowed to have an opinion? The other guy voiced his opinion just like you did. So what is the problem?

prompt · 03-05-2021, 11:38 AM

Would it be too much asking for an Amg gt fighter?
I mean something that looks stunning with top of the segment performance
No Zf,not the same ugly steering wheel that is on the entire model range
No useless options
No hybrid,no electric of course
No dented wheel arch because carry over parts
No Kith
A proper knob to adjust the ESP intervention,not a submenu of a submenu
That you need to be googled

I hope to see a Bmw in line with this one day,hopefully before that is too late

Lol honestly with them, yes it would be a tall ask. They shut down the idea of an M1 successor multiple times. Unfortunately that's the best way to honor the 50 anniversary of M.

scotty_g · 03-05-2021, 11:44 AM

Lots of crying before it's even revealed...

Here's what I'd like to see:
Unique wheels
Unique paint options
Retro vibe
6MT
RWD
Analogue gauges
Slick top (cf?)

What you dont think 50k for the logo of a brand that will be all but forgotten in a couple of years is worthy of a special edition!? Are you telling me the supreme shit I bought 5 years ago and waited 3 weeks camping outside for because it was a special COLLAB aint worth shit today???

Would be cool to see the old CSL M stripes, mesh wheels, or even the big rear wing
