[Auto] The front of the new BMW M3 and M4 will be updated thanks to Prior Design

[G h o s t l y.]

 

As BMW continues to defend the massive grills of its new models, it seems clear that not everyone finds them entirely attractive, especially when it comes to the new M3 saloon and M4 coupe. Although a few weeks ago we saw how the new direction of the classic kidneys of the brand could be in the previous models, today we bring different digital recreations of what could be a real aftermarket front, courtesy of the German preparer Prior Design.
 

Prior Design is a tuning company whose headquarters are in Kamp-Lintfort, in the north of Germany, and the truth is that it has never been characterized by modifications that can be described as subtle; Rather the complete opposite. However, it seems that no one can overcome the eccentricity of the Munich designers, so the new kits seem even more typical of BMW than of an external preparer. A video on his YouTube channel shows a handful of redesigns that he is working on and that, thankfully, he intends to make a reality.
One of the designs for the new M3 2021 consists of kidneys that have been reduced to approximately half the original size, but supplemented with the same horizontal slats. This fascia also includes a custom bumper and new air intakes. Another proposal features a front almost identical to that of the M8 Competition, with the same black grilles, generous air intakes on the flanks and various carbon fiber details. Both look significantly more palatable than what BMW designers have done.

 

None of the new designs may yet be available, but Prior Design is a well-known and reputable company in the industry; there is no reason why they should not do so in the closer than late future, as demand will likely be quite high. Frankly, we would not be surprised to see the Bavarian engine factory change course with these stylistic canons relatively quickly, similar to what Mercedes-Benz did when it showed the fourth iteration of the E-Class (W212) with its headlights divided into four individual pilots. .

Once the designs are finished, swapping one front for another is not that difficult, and all of them seem to retain the hood and fenders of the original models. The various interpretations also include minor variations to the bottom vents, another design element some find controversial on the 2021 M3 and M4, but all ditch the huge, unnecessary grille entirely. Seriously, no matter which one you like the most, all the proposals are a huge improvement over the original configuration.
