One of the most recognizable elements of BMW M design is the use of double design elements, such as the double spokes, double wings, double slats and double twin pipes. These elements create a visual harmony and a sense of balance and symmetry in the M cars.\u00a0But how did the iconic BMW M design come to life?<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\" data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:65\">A Sketchpad Sparked BMW M&#8217;s Iconic Design DNA<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-187340\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2-750x499.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/BMW-E36-M3-GT-2.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The origin of the double design theme can be traced back to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/01\/21\/e36-m3-should-i-buy\/\">E36 M3<\/a>, which debuted in 1992. The E36 M3 was the first M car to feature the iconic double-spoke wheels. Then in 2000, the BMW <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/18\/buyers-guide-bmw-e46-m3\/\">E46 M3<\/a> came to life with the second generation of double-spoke wheels which were designed by Marcus Syring, former head of BMW M Design and now head of design for future ALPINA products. Syring used to sketch the wheels in full size, drawing 8 to 10 different versions for each vehicle. His wheel design was selected for the E46 M3 and became a signature element of BMW M design.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-404482\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/laguna_seca_blue_bmw_e46_m3_23.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Since then, the double design theme has evolved and expanded to other parts of the M cars, such as the double wings for the aero mirrors, which improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. The double slats in the M kidneys, which are wider and more angular than the regular BMW kidneys, create a more aggressive and distinctive front end. The G80 M3 also features double design elements in the side fender. Of course, the double theme is also present inside the M cars, with the double spokes on the steering wheel and the unmistakable twin tailpipes at the rear.<\/p>\n<h2>The Double-Theme Evolved Over Time<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-454521\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06-830x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06-830x467.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06-1820x1024.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-06.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Certainly, the theme has evolved over time. Presently, you&#8217;ll notice dual elements not only in the rear diffuser but also in upcoming BMW M products, extending to the interior of the headlights. A closer look at the G80\/G82 M3\/M4, including the CS models, reveals the incorporation of these dual elements. While it may appear as symmetry to some, it&#8217;s all integral to the distinctive BMW M design language.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-443684\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116-830x623.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116-830x623.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116-1365x1024.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-116.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The double design elements are not only aesthetic, but also functional in many cases. They enhance the performance, efficiency and stability of the M cars, while also creating a visual identity that sets them apart from other BMW models. The double design theme is a testament to BMW M&#8217;s philosophy of combining form and function, beauty and power, elegance and sportiness. But beyond the tangible, the double theme became a visual language. It spoke of duality, of power harnessed and waiting to be unleashed. It mirrored the driving experience itself, the delicate balance between control and exhilarating chaos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-454547\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2024-bmw-m3-cs-review-32.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The next time a BMW M speeds by, really check it out.
