Why BMW,why?

Eww.

Opposite of timeless design.

Great point- if we can focus in and see it look decent then let the BMW hypnosis for the rest of the 90 percent go to work…

I find it funny…Everyone is still trying to compare a leaked photo from who knows when to a full production release. I agree, the leaked photos are zoomed. BMW might have leaked the photos on purpose so they could sit back and laugh 😂

Look how white the hood is here from the bright overhead lights and how the wheels are in shadow.

The newer partial pic is in more normal lighting levels and taken up close.

May have been camo as well like they did w the M4/3

This may be a nice track car.

To me the difference is you can see the scale of the design element as there are people next to it. Better represents the width of the car and the size of the opening.

GOLFFRR · 10-04-2022, 08:41 AM

just reveal it already

Why would they laugh at how much their design is disliked?

….and that car was HATED in the beginning. I know people have short memories, but I'll never forget the amount of hate the 1M received (…."It's not even a real ///M!!!!") and how much hate the M2 Comp received.

All I want for Christmas is to know it will eventually come with xDrive lol

stefan · 10-04-2022, 08:52 AM

LCI already?

Jk that is the same car. Angle is a bit different. Focal length and camera height play a really big part in how the car is captured.

heavyD^2 · 10-04-2022, 08:52 AM

It's very 90's GTR from the front and I don't think that's a bad thing as I feel that was the best decade for exterior design.

ROBM2C · 10-04-2022, 08:58 AM

It's the same car !

I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but it's definitely different. I see what you mean by GTR-inspired though. Despite being so similar to Hyundai N's prime color, I like the blue.

I think this will be another controversial design. I predict lots of "it looks good in dark colors" type of talk. Nothing like a proclamation that a design is so mixed that it's features should be hidden as much as possible.

AndroidRobot · 10-04-2022, 09:03 AM

Looks the same, this image is simply sharper in terms of resolution.

BigKutta · 10-04-2022, 09:03 AM

Yeah keep leaking the ok part, BMW. Thats not the end I'm worried about.

swampfox94 · 10-04-2022, 09:06 AM

I've never seen so much denial about a leak being real before lol

Commanderwiggin · 10-04-2022, 09:08 AM

Beauty is always a lightswitch away or in this case a carcover

anitasanger · 10-04-2022, 09:21 AM

I'll be ordering in Zan blue, manual tranny, non-carbon seats, and a CF roof as soon as the config is live. The colour reminds me of Fender's Sonic Blue, my all time favorite colour! I put my deposit down in early spring. It's a bonus that it's coming out in such a beautiful color. Here's a pic of my SB Fender Jazzmaster. Looks really close.
