BMW cars are unique in that after a long time, almost all of their models don’t look outdated no matter how they looked to us when we first saw them. Maybe you noticed this? For example, when you first saw the BMW E60 in 2003, it looked awfully weird and then it really didn’t seem to stand the test of time. But it is BMW cars that stand this test - which is why the E30, E34, E36, E38, E39 and others have been and will be favorite. Wondering how the new BMW front-end style will stand the test of time? It’s hard to imagine that this design will ever become a classic. But that is exactly how it should be. Whether you like it or not, the large M3 / M4 front grille, but the rear will definitely like it. It looks great on a regular BMW 4 Series and of course looks impressive on the M4 where the emphasis is on the four traditionally installed exhaust pipes. Seen from this angle, the M4 looks like only a smaller copy of the M8. It is interesting to observe not only the evolution or revolution of the M3 / M4 design, but also the changes in composition and engines. If the first E30 M3 had a rather modest 2-2.5 liter four-cylinder engine with about 200 hp, then the E36 engine increased to 3-3.2 liter, power to 300 hp, the number of cylinders increased to 6 units. The E46 engine retained 3.2 displacement, but power increased to 360 hp, and the model got a sportier suspension. The next E90 model got an even bigger 4-4.4-liter, 8-cylinder engine reaching as much as 450 hp. The displacement of the next F80 model was significantly reduced to 3 liters and returned to the 6-cylinder configuration, but the engine received a turbine, so power and dynamic properties only increased. The latest G80 model has retained the classic composition - 3 liters, 6 cylinders in a row, of course without a turbine was not dispensed plus the new M4 will be composed with all-wheel drive. We see that over time, the car’s displacement has increased, reached a peak and is now starting to decline. If the trend continues, and probably will, we will soon see the M3 / M4 models with four-cylinder engines again. There will be only one key difference - the M3 will never be the small, high-revving, atmospheric engine sports car it was designed to be. Well, we will definitely have more power and dynamics, and seconds to 100 km / h for really less.
