Best looking F8x Stock

BimmerBrahs, just thought I would get everyone's feedback on this topic as the F8X gen has now come to an end in terms of iterations.

Just wanted to gauge the feeling of the forum as to what was the best looking F8X to come with this generation. Everyone agree's its one of it not the best looking of all the M3s to come out but from the options that were made which one did you personally feel was the best looking?

F80/2/3 Base models
F80/2/3 CP
F80/2 CS
F82 GTS

All have their plus points and as stand alone's are very very good looking but for me personally it has to be in the below order.

M4CS
M3CS
M4GTS
M3 Comp
M4 Comp
M3 base
M4 base
Any M4 vert

It’s hard to not sound biased as I’ve got one, but it’s got to be the M4CS, the coupe shape with the added bits and wheels is just perfect.

The GTS/DTM for me are just a bit too “try hard” with either orange bits, or stickers everywhere (DTM) plus that rear wing.

I've had the M4, but thought the proportions looked odd at certain angles...

Slightly biased, but I really enjoy the look of my M3 CS!!!

m3cs .. mainly because of the hood and wheels. I do like the m performance lip better than the CS lip though.

M4 base with silver grilles and silver 19" wheels. I may be slightly biased because it's my exact car but I like it.

I don't like my car to look like it's over compensating for something, so a base M4 with 437M wheels are best

M3 CS, but Recently seen a civic mineral white M4 on silver 437's with nothing but a slight drop and I thought it looked great. No spoilers, no black-out, nada.

Agreed that the GTS is a bit overkill, but the GTS hood is my #1 want right now so F82 CS is my vote since I'm all about that coupe life.

F8x was a winner with good looks from launch unlike cough, ahem the Gee

As small poll seems to validate - CS is great looking. If rare and wild GTS looked as good as a MR M4CS they'd still be selling over $100k.

F80 all day, CP or CS version, the latter being just a tad overwhelming that might take a second or third look to really appreciate it for what it is, in my opinion.

i prefer the coupe much over the sedan.
personally i don't like the hood of the CS and the GTS.
-> f82 comp is the winner for me

not because i have it. but that's why i have it. (of course i wouldn't say 'no' to the GTS, but probably do so to the CS - when just considering the look.)

also: usually i don't like the look of verts.
therefore f82>f80>f83.

F82 M4 Base

LCI F82 M4 Base, 19" 437 Black wheels, Sakhir Orange, Black Full Leather with BMW Individual Sakhir Orange stitching w/CF Trim.

Tanzanite Blue Met w/White full leather would be a close second.

CS interior is too spartan for my taste although the exterior is killer.

Lol @ 1 vote for the f83, I just made it 2. For some weird reason I prefer the f83 look top up and down over the others, I'm like that mom with ugly kids, who thinks they are the cutest.

Best looking? That's easy, F80 M3 CS. I don't think the interior is spartan at all considering it has the comp seats in two tone and the M stripe decorated seatbelts. All then CF exterior goodies and the wheels complete the look. The hood is a game changer in both form and function. The perfect stock F8X doesn't exist however. Here's the perfect one:

CS hood
All the CS Carbon Fiber exterior bits
19" front AND 19" rear (instead of 20") 763M wheels
M Perf Carbon Fiber tip exhaust
Comp seats in Carbon Structure instead of leather.
CS tune and MDM
6MT option
