Ugh..

KevM2 · 10-04-2022, 02:45 AM

The two things that are a deal breaker for me in terms of the looks are the rear end and the lack of front fender side vents (fake or real, it does make a difference in the overall side body contour of the car and makes it look that more special)… the front can grow on me as can the weird idrive 8

Ikester19 · 10-04-2022, 02:57 AM

the lower front blacked out area kinda makes it look like it's wearing a mouth guard! That being the case this will be another BMW that looks better in darker colours.

Ugh..

In what god damn reality are you living in where an F-15 reference is supposed to be a negative?!

FC05 · 10-04-2022, 03:22 AM

Rumors are often inaccurate but leaks were always the actual thing.

Most of those leaks were deliberated.

NathObeaN · 10-04-2022, 03:39 AM

It's the same car just with a different lighting, paint colour/type. People really want to believe BMW have something magical up their sleeve don't they? Expect disappointment and then anything better will be a nice surprise.

All I will say is judging from nearly every BMW launch in the last few years, you'll more than likely be disappointed and the leaks are accurate. People tried to believe the G80 leaks were fake. Now it's just the acceptance stage

terminator335i · 10-04-2022, 03:56 AM

With the right MPerformance add ons....

Love the grill. When's the last time you heard those three words uttered here.

The last time we had a BBQ discussion here.

Saphirschwarz · 10-04-2022, 05:16 AM

Omg it looks so much better 😅

eljay · 10-04-2022, 05:38 AM

Still ugly.

I think they should start with the uncovered car leaked earlier and slowly cover it up and then for the premiere just have a covered car. That would look the best.

P.S. ...or maybe not as that ass protrusion would still show under the cover.

gurusaint · 10-04-2022, 05:44 AM

So much cock stroking. Release the mf car already!

MadBimmeRad · 10-04-2022, 05:48 AM

So by the look of it, the cleaners were the ones taking the photos that were leaked

///M TOWN · 10-04-2022, 05:53 AM

Still prefer something more creative like this

JustChris · 10-04-2022, 06:12 AM

Not sure what we're hoping to see.

It's the same car and design and the leaks are all correct.

No surprises and until acceptance no happiness

10" · 10-04-2022, 06:13 AM

Same exact car—-just different photo angles.

the reveal of this M2 has been way too slow and drawn out—especially after we have all seen photos of the final product already! lol

HiFi · 10-04-2022, 06:42 AM

im seeing the car on Friday - its in Melbourne, Australia under closed doors (no phones) viewing. Will report back

XxThe_RemedyXx · 10-04-2022, 06:54 AM

Love the "lots of backtracking incoming". Same car, higher resolution photo. Still looks like ass.

Dr.Deep · 10-04-2022, 07:03 AM

Not sure what here looks different or better than what was leaked? Maybe because 90% are cowered?

We have seen the car, just under bad lightning and low quality pics…but final judgment of it will be anyway when I see it live..
