A few days ago, I saw the new M4 myself for the first time and I'm sorry, but I still think the front-end looks ugly.

Don't apologize.
Only the front-end? IMHO, the entire car is ......
The front-end is the least ugly thing about the new M4. BMW has lost its mojo designing cars.

It's honestly just the front (mostly the big kidney grill) that bothers me. I thought the rest looked rather good, but of course, past designs looked better imo.Only the front-end? IMHO, the entire car is ......

What was your issue with the rest of it though? Something with the body lines, proportions, or...?
but yeah, BMW seems to be determined to try this new design trend trying to look futuristic and for some reason, they think big kidneys are the answer.

Also to repeat myself, I have another issue with BMW's kidney grills. If they were meant to harp back to their older grill designs, then why didn't they alter the headlights in the same way? It seems so odd to harpe back to an older design language and only do one part of it.
The new M4 is too long. It is too bland. I mean, there is nothing going on and the rear wheel arches are too pronounced. The design makes the rear wheels look so small. I don't know but it seems that the roofline doesn't fit the rest of the car.
Everything from the B-pillar is just wrong.

Wagon M3 will be a reality, making this BMW's first mass-produced M Wagon. Spy shots of the upcoming M3 Touring from today:

Big agree, and for one reason only, the elephant-in-the-room grille.

Ah, I actually can kinda see what you mean there about the length. They probably could've done more there.
The only thing is that after seeing so many car designs where people felt the need to put things everywhere like excessive sharp angles, vents, rigid lines that don't flow like in Audis, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, and more. A car with not much going on feels like a breath of fresh air in comparison.

Here we go again. There's a 70-80yo man, near my neighborhood, with the F80 M3. It's a metallic red. His house is on the street of my school run. The F80 isn't there. In his spot is an even brighter metallic reddish-orange G80 M3. Guess he's traded up.
The grill ain't that bad . The overall shape of the M3, overshadows the grill. I think I'm still getting used to the tailights and headlights of the new model. The grill is just... there.

It looks like a melting blob of lard somebody schlapped on a frying pan. I'm not gonna say its ugly - I like cooking things in lard - but it is miserable and boring. At least the Taurus and SC430 were cohesive, unique for their times, and instantly recognizable. The 8-series looks like a Kia, except the actual Kia "gran coupe" looks better, more unique, and is instantly recognizable.
