i agree, although the bumpers are too small!

is it just me or does the back look weird? i prefer the E46 design much better...

but u gotta admit its weird how the photshops were exact :O

Front end looks nice and aggressive. With the hood bulge its gonna be very nice I believe.

yea thats why even tho i take photoshops with grain of salt you know some of them have truths in them. some people probably wont like this new subtle design but i like it! hopefully my next car

Yeah I thought there'd be more fender flare. But overall I think this will be a nice looking car. The new M5 and M6 look awesome in life I think this will to

thx jason, I am sure that those covered up parts would be another design breakthroughs from BMW M division. I expect a new bonnet design, side panels, side skirts and rear bumper too! keep us posted.

Not a big fan of the new front air dam- kind of a reverse of the E46 M3's. Perhaps w/o any camo and cleaned up it will be better.....

ALPINE6SPD · 07-12-2006, 10:45 AM

I want to see a final product before I make a decision.

i find it funny that this whole camo thing is one big strip tease with the auto industry. They slowly reveal a little more and more as the weeks go by...knowing fully that everyone's eyes/cameras are trained on them.

Heh it is funny... and it makes sense. Keeping everyone salivating certainly does good for PR, creating buzz and build-up. Who knows, the camo may go back on, this may just have been the phase of the hot weather testing which required the bumper/ducts to be fully exposed.

res_ipsa · 07-12-2006, 12:13 PM

Another batch... this time with proper wheels.

I hope so! This is like a sloowww strip tease... and it's almost as fun

The minute I saw the new pics I immediately thought of a photoshop on this board I just couldn't remember where it was. I guess all i had to do was scroll down

Synikal · 07-13-2006, 11:51 PM

Looks brilliant!

Notice the car with the front bumper exposed does not have side markers, and appears to have side vents covered.
