I'm on the fence but don't hate it

DanG · 10-11-2022, 06:14 PM

Wow. A truly ugly new M car.

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

Different strokes for different folks. I actually think this car looks amazing.

Now the rear makes sense.

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.

djbang · 10-11-2022, 06:23 PM

small detail but im really glad that they added the ambient lighting on front dash passenger side

donm527 · 10-11-2022, 06:30 PM

Would have loved to see this car in a Metallic Silver.

donm527 · 10-11-2022, 06:32 PM

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.

StickyPickle · 10-11-2022, 06:33 PM

Not being a red car guy myself, I gotta admit this red looks damn good. Has me thinking twice…

huhu1030 · 10-11-2022, 06:45 PM

The single light bulb is a big big big step back.. the front is just ugly..

GregW / Oregon · 10-11-2022, 06:46 PM

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.

Prodigy. · 10-11-2022, 06:54 PM

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.

donm527 · 10-11-2022, 06:57 PM

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

BigKutta · 10-11-2022, 07:52 PM

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

IM2C · 10-11-2022, 08:09 PM

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.

ronin13013 · 10-11-2022, 08:13 PM

This thing is gonna be a riot. Inside and out. Hope to be driving mine by early spring 2023.

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

Mtxzptlk · 10-11-2022, 10:41 PM

Finally a color that does it justice.

Def interested in the new M2.

Noel911 · 10-12-2022, 10:56 AM

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