It's entirely possible it's just me... But I've always thought it's cheesy. Even if you're tracking. Doesn't it just say "I expect my car to break down / to have a wreck"? I mean if you do need it, it's not terribly hard to pop in the factory option.

That or they serve some purpose I'm just ignorant to because I've autocrossed but not really ever got into tracking.

At my track, tow hooks are required to be installed (front mandatory, rear recommended).

If you spin out, go off-track, have an accident, etc., you do NOT get out of the car and the tow driver is on the track a minimal amount of time-- he's not going to dig around in your trunk to find your hook.

With the hook pre-installed, he comes out, hooks on, tows out very quickly.

There is nothing they can do to improve the looks of this ugly thing. BMW never lets me down with some of the ugliest designs every now and then.

Yeah, I could do without all the extra stuff. I didn't even care for a lot the F87 extras.

I agree, the car looks good in the first pic - when you're lying on the ground & it towers over you.
However, standing up and seeing it in person didn't change my mind about the styling...Audi A6-esque single headlamps and the awkward square & curvy lines that step on each other's toes...
The M-Performance pleasure ribbed Rice-A-Roni just puts the nail in the coffin for me.

I do however like the seats though

The 963M wheels, seats, and the carbon front inlets are OK. The rest of the bits are not for me...
Although I also wouldn't put the full M perf catalog on my F87 either.

Huh. Somehow I never actually noticed that it's a single headlight. Always too distracted by the uh... Rest of the front end. :⁠-⁠P

I like what the owner did in the pics above this post. A little more subtle.

That’s the only thing stopping me from getting one of these …certain cars 40year old and ups look silly in …this is one of them !
I am always told I look younger than I am, I feel younger than i am...I was hit on by a 20' something a few weeks back... maybe i can drive a car meant for a 22 year old?
