2021 BMW M3 Competition: Flared nostrils

The new M3 Competition is a hoot and a half to drive.

This Bimmer's interior is luxurious and reasonably comfortable for such a high-performance car. 

It's impossible to ignore the M3's new grille. Seriously, what were BMW designers thinking?

BMW's S58 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six packs a wallop, delivering 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque in Competition trim.

The M3 Competition sounds raspy but can hit 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds.

Other elements of this car are nowhere near as controversial as its grille.

The folding rear backrests help make this high-performance sedan surprisingly versatile.

Who needs all these settings? Why?

There's a surprising amount of surfacing on this car's front end.
