ABOUT THE 2021 BMW M3
The 2021 BMW M3 isn’t a sport sedan—it’s the sport sedan. BMW’s iconic performance car is a legend, one that’s earned global fanfare and once set the benchmark for an entire segment. From the original E30 onward, BMW has evolved the M3, increasing its performance with each generation. Now a new M3—the G80 generation—has arrived for 2021 wearing controversial styling. Regardless of how it looks, the M3 legend continues with more power and performance than ever before.

PRODUCT DISCRIPTION OF 2021 BMW M3
The Beav — Uh, Elephant in the Room
OK, we should just get this out of the way: BMW’s new buck-toothed styling is awful. This is a worse transgression than the “Bangle butt” of the 2002 BMW 7 Series. The best anyone seems able to muster about the odd grille treatment is, “It doesn’t look too bad.” That’s a damned far cry from “Wow, that’s gorgeous.”
But it isn’t just the grille that’s offensive. Look down the M3’s body side and you’ll notice the fenders have been flared to cover its wider wheels and tires. Then you’ll notice the door skins have not been widened to match the fenders, which becomes awkward where the rear doors meet the rear quarter panels. This is BMW cheapening out on the upgrade from 3 Series to M3 by not also modifying the door skins in order to save a couple bucks. The result looks half-done and amateurish — a decidedly disappointing visual update that takes away a significant portion of the M3’s appeal.
A good friend of mine owned a 2015 M4 coupe and was thinking of replacing it with this latest-generation M3/M4, but as he put it, “To spend as much as they want for the new car, I have to love it. And looking at it … I just don’t love it.” One wonders how many other longtime BMW owners will look at this latest generation of M3 and make the same choice to not re-up their membership in the Bimmer club.
