Agreed, they didn't round the front at all and went for a hammerhead shark look

Oh I meant for some reason the shape doesn't appear to match with the opposite side. Maybe it's just me.

You saying it's fake doesn't make it fake, it's real. Wait till Oct 12 and you can compare.
That's true, but do you really think BMW would release a car like this that looks like it has a body kit from the early 2000's? I can't be the only one that thinks this.

This is the most baffling thing about this car lol. Never thought that was possible. If the real thing looks like these photos, there's no way I will get one. G8X, grills be damned looks immensely better than this caricature of a car.

It's sad what bmw is doing and offering to its customers. It's really sad the decisions made in terms of design. Theoretically this car would have ideas taken from the 2002 homage, but they didn't even do that car justice, nor the M story. Even the side air intakes were lost. It's ridiculous and offensive.
I think these photos are real from the final product. We also didn't believe in the first leaked photos of the G80..

Luckily, the market offers the Porsche Cayman

I think that was the idea

And clearly it actually might work

I hate G82 and still do, and then this came

I'm convinced this was leaked so we can get past the initial denial stage by the time of release

It's almost as if the designers were directed to make the clay model "with camo" and then told to shave off some edges for prodcution-ready details

True, but only a small percentage can live with a Cayman as their sole vehicle. It is just a far less usable vehicle; even less so than my 992.

Dare I say, I like it. The rear is the elephant in the room. Are we pretending the rear on the f87 was great in comparison to its bigger brothers? The rear on the 2 series has always been the worse looking part of the original m2 - it’s one of the reasons I sold my m2 cs. Plus that photo is terrible angle.

I’m not excusing Bmw - but brands need to adapt and change otherwise they might as well have just kept making the f8x series until electrification based on the responses
