The more I look at this area the worse it gets. Why are there so many shapes and competing pieces.

You are completely forgetting that the sole purpose of the camouflage is to hide contours and other design elements.

Edit: Once again the design is somewhat visible in a BMW supplied photo.

This really bothers me. The front bumper has two 45 degree angles that add up to transition to a full 90 degrees. Looks way better than the single 90 degree cut on the rear bumper.

Shmee's video was in June though. These photos are sadly from yesterday / today.

Meaning, the likelihood of todays pictures being old and a video from June being the most recent version of the car is pretty slim. Unfortunately.

This just cannot be real version. That back up sensors just slapped on. They would not do that.

I like it

I'm sure I'll like it even more once I see it in a vid/in person. Probably going to pick up a LCI at some point.

That's basically how all backup sensors look on light colored cars

Bring back the angel eyes and distinctive kink - if that pulled up behind you at the lights you'd think it was a Focus or something!!

They signed off on the G80 fenders that don't even match the body lines of the car, this comes as no shock.

If this is final product it looks terrible like something out of last decade. Anyway. We will see soon enough.

They stick out under the lights like square boxes protruding. What's the reason to do that? Never seen that on any other model.

It's mostly the rear that looks terrible. Like cheap fast and furious style body kit.
