The New G22 M3 & M4
Since I joined the Peachtree Chapter of the BMW CCA I have been to each of the monthly Cars & Coffee. It has been nice to meet other enthusiasts and see what people have done to maintain or upgrade their cars. We typically get a wide variety of new and old BMWs and at the last one a couple of G22 M cars made an appearance.
The new BMW M3 & M4 (G22) are the cause for much controversy in regards to their extra large kidney grills. They have garnered many terrible nicknames, which my favorite is, the Double Coffin Grill. This is a nice play on the traditional Double Kidney Grill that people typically use when referring to BMWs. I am sure the purists in our group were crying in their coffee at the April meet up.
To me beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I am sure the owners of the M3 and M4 that were at Cars & Coffee love their new cars. I am glad they brought them out for us to check out in person. I can tell you they look better in person then they do in pictures and video. I encourage you to see one in real life before you pass final judgement on the design.
I still prefer my 2017 M2 and think it’s the best combination of price, size and performance of all the BMW M cars, but of course I am bias!
