Very true, I don't even bother trying to keep the 437Ms on my M2 clean. The gloss black on them turns into brake dust matte finish a few days after I scrub them.

Car looks great. Design looks better the more I see it.
the GoPro does not really match the colour.
The colour is not so orange as it looks like in the video.

These are incredible photos. I think these are what's gonna drive me over the edge to TR; was really stuck between this, ZB, and BG but gah dayum this is nice.

yes the space was limited and the GoPro has a little Fisheye effect.

I have some pictures (Iphone 12, with different lences made. The pictures with wide angle may have also a little fisheye effect.)
These are great pictures and I agree that the car, while muscular, has a simplicity to it just waiting for a few mods to really make it pop. Those side skirts and fender arches are something out of the Skyline playbook and I think BMW really hit it out of the park with this car.

It is also on stilts - I have never lowered a car, but this one needs it.

The wheels are also too busy for me. Something like a BBS-FiR would look much better, and go with the "blocky" approach more cohesively, at least in my opinion.

Looks pretty good. I do think it looks cleaner but less like an M car without the fender inserts.

Can't believe it works, but it does, and it looks awesome.
I don't think the rocker panels were that great of a source of contention haha. And honestly, in isolation, I don't have a problem with any of the design elements of the car. But they don't come together to form a cohesive design. It's like they got a separate designer for the front, rear and sides. The front and rear guys couldn't agree on anything, and the side guy just tried his best to make things flow between the two.

Toronto Red on the G87 looks amazing. This thing is going to have an incredible presence on the road, love it or hate it. These are the best photos we've seen yet. Well done OP.
