That just might be, but clearly "Sheesh" is making a comeback…

Such a fine looking car compared to M2, and - I wonder how it would look if the tail lights were all red, thus masking the upside down frown of the inverted L.

The matte paint look seems to really suit the car's lines.

Well- consider the m340-it's a very modern, beautiful car. They took that 4 door and applied the nose and weird rear valance and it sells like hotcakes.

The fact that BMW gave the new M cars over the top styling leaves much more design "space" for the M240i this time around. The old 240i was super plain but this one is just right. Good looking car. Still waiting for a full reveal of the M2 but from the leaked pictures it looks as screwed up as the G80.

You should charge BMW for styling advise, it's the best looking M240i G42 I have seen so far. More important, nice mechanical upgrades.

I have phone numbers up for shops around me that do stealth wraps but I can't bring myself to call any of them :,) Non-stealth full clear wrap is $6-7k+, and I'd really consider the stealth wrap if the base BG didn't look so great. I'm still so tempted but don't know if I'd follow through haha

Well done sir

The roof wrap makes it look a bit meaner in the best way possible

Also do they fit without cutting the oem exhaust?

Seriously considering doing the Stealth treatment for my BG G87 after seeing this, it looks fantastic on BG!

how is this suspension setup? Bilstein doesnt list any compatibility for the g42, but obviously the Evo SE seems to work fine.

Chad_mst waiting on MY23 to be delivered. Just wondering if you could provide some feedback on if you still like the car in stealth? Debating doing this or just living it original with a protective wrap.
