I get a feeling that AMG and M employees hangs out at the bar secretly to discuss designs. Don't the new E63 AMG front design look similar to BMW's 4 series coupe?

i think the F32 looks better than the E92, but that should be expected with a new model. of course, there will be some who are against it. that should also be expected. thanks for the post Jason! Are you planning a F30 vs F32 comparison thread? |

Nice evolution... my E92 's gonna be a bit square in a few months... Time to switch to my 320d GT, cant wait !!
If only the 4 Grancoupe could match the end of my lease.... Just cars anyway ! (trying to lie to myself !) |

I agree. The F32 is just too much of a departure from the flowing lines that made prior BMWs very appealing. Too sharp-edged, too squared-off, those horrible side-vents, and the shape of the rear driver's and passengers' windows doesn't allow a smooth flow. Too angular. |

I really like it but that stretched roofline will take time to get used to. I wish they left the roofline similar to E92 which would keep the model more distinguished from 6er coupe. Also, the vents are bad.

Timeless design language - that's BMW. The cars don't look old because a new model is out. But then the new is better theory kicks in and the heart and the wallet disagree with the head.

I really like the F32's rear and roof line, the side and front look okay a bit too busy for my liking . The E92's side looks much cleaner and simple yet still beautiful |

Both are large cars, Very Grand Touring, very departed from the E46

Aint it always so ? I use to think only Porsche, with their subtle changes, makes it ok to drive a 10 years old model without looking outdated. |

I don't know the last time I got taller. If I did, I probably buy the 5 series when I'm too big for a 3. And a 7 when I out grows the 5. Eventually I'll hop into an X then to infinity! LOL

I guess I'm in the minority, but I always felt the E92 didn't work, it was too soft and bland compared to the E36 and E46. This looks like a return to form.

M3 aside, I would agree with you regarding E92 appearance..The new 4 looks much more athletic - can't wait to see Msport and M versions.. For those who think the 4 and 3 has gotten too large? I would agree - time for you guys to go 2 series

Too aggressively styled.
E92 looks better.
