I like how the exhaust pipes have gradually moved further out over time.

Yes...although the M3 has always had its exhaust pipes closer together than the M5.

Two things:
1) For as much love as I (and many others) have for the E46 M3, when isolated the bumper is very underwhelming. I still love the car overall for the design. 2) The E39 M5 bumper is so choice.

Note that these pictures are not all taken from the same location/angle of view. For example, note on that E90 picture how you have a clear view underneath the car to see the differential heat sink fins. That same view exists on the E92, but that picture is taken from a higher point of view.

Maybe the it's because the trailer hitch doesn't fit with the evolution of the M?

Oh boy.
Last time I checked, M cars had an S in their engine code, forgot what BMW debuted the most powerful M motor? that's still in production? after 10 years? While you check, feel free to share your 2 cents on.... What does that make the 1M and Pre-LCI M2? 330i ZHP had more ///M points. Quote:

Igor_M5 Don't start the S engine debate....
(also note the Style 135's on my ZHP, next to my X6M - maybe I'm a full poseur) |

Added a cross-reference in the first post of this thread:
For the sister thread entitled "M front bumper design evolution from E39 M5 to M2 Competition": see here. Also this illustrious one was added: BMW GT6 Vision Concept (virtual)

M2 has the worst rear end, they forgot to shrink the m4 lights when designing the 2 and the rear bumper is a bloater of an ass.
It seems to me that the diffusers on all Ms dont quite cover the exhaust backbox properly which is a shame as you end up seeing the box when following our cars. I replaced the standard one om my 1M with a carbon one from lightweight in germany and it looks totally standard except for it goes under the car a bit further and fully shrouds the backbox giving a nice clean look. |
