Wow. A truly ugly new M car.

I hope the LCI looks better. It does look exactly like the sneak peeks.

It has a... Japanezy, JDM, Fast and Furious look to it?? In that respect it's a pretty nice looking car lined up next to Nissan or Acura. The rear will give a Honda Type-R a run for it's money??

It's a nice looking car really... except for the bumper.

LOL, the beginning of the M2 launch video look like it came straight off F&F Tokyo Drift with the inside garage race and DJ.

Not a huge fan of the blockiness of the front and rear, but I guess that was anticipated. Hmmm...will drive one when available, but may wait for the M4 LCI.

Proves the colour makes a huge difference, looks a lot better in Red.

Still need to see it in person but am feeling a bit better about it now.

Loads of pics. I think it looks best from the side.

I dont hate. The headlights and rear end don't work so much for me, and it doesn't make me want to run out and get one yet. My timeline is LCI so lets see

Fcuk me, I'm getting one. I don't know if it's the chain supply or lack of options for a 6 speed manual or if I'm just exhausted.

I'm hoping aftermarket body styling will make it even more palatable. Anything but the beaver grille.

BMW finally found a car that was made for Toronto Red. It works on this car better than the G80/82.

I will NOT be ordering after all.
However, those seats are fabulous and would make a nice addition to my F87.
