2021 BMW M3/M4 get redesign of controversial face | Chip Foose Draws a Car - Ep. 16

[@jsquared1013]

Chip just shredded the entire BMW design team with a Bic pen that he found in a hotel.

[@oximofo9]

Interesting enough the difference between expensive ballpoint and a “bank pen” isn’t the roll or ink, it’s the durability and the ability to use refillable ink wells and the quality and durability of the pen tip/barrel.

[@flaviomanfredilebrao1298]

He’s that good - they destroyed the facia with this stupid looking grille - I would buy Chip’s version in a heart beat but I’m having a real problem digesting the new models. For the first time in 20 years I may have to go Audi - and that breaks my heart

But who are you to tell others if the design is good or bad? Taste is subjective

[@dovydasgrigas441]

​@@viktorjohansson86 He's someone with eyes and an opinion. The M3 has had a feeling that people instantly recognised and loved for decades. A radical redesign just makes the designer look ignorant of what an M3 is. It isn't terrible on its own, but it doesn't work as a successor to earlier M3s. Discarding the feeling of an M3, not to create an innovative design, but to follow trends is lazy. This design is bad in the context of a BMW M3.

[@DutchDiederik]

[@paulpalmtree9295]

It’s true that BMW have been moving away from the traditional BMW design and engineering that made BMW cars so appealing in the not to distant past. One of the engineering changes that has not gone down very well with BMW purists was to ditch Rear wheel drive, in favour of FWD or AWD cars, I can see only one good thing about this, and that’s that the RWD BMW Cars May become collectable in years to come. I must add that I much prefer the front end Chip Foose design, over BMW’s design.

@@Xolition I agree, in fact, i think it’s flattering that Audi conceived an original design that BMW wished to imitate. My overarching point is that designs that are imitating lack a core original thought. Take Kia or the slew of asian brands (but not all), they are derivatives of imitation. There is no valor in imitation. There is no reason for me to love a brand that has no original thought, no soul. Don’t be different just to be different either, because that risks having no identity at all.

He did kind of similar thing in front like one of 6 versions made by Prior Design, not bad though.. but since he also spokes about rear quarter i wish Chip Foose would re-design it from the side too so we could understand better what he was talking about and how the car will look much differently if he modify that section as well..

Sadly this seems to be a trend now and it really kills it for me. Especially if the fake grills are large like on the new Audi R8.
