Does look a little plain, surprised that more people aren’t into that given the reaction here to the very-not-plain g8x. I’m sure the proportions will look great in person, gotta be pretty wide and squatty

The front is 100% final. It’s exactly like the leaked bumper from a chinese supplier few months ago.

Not the best but neither a problem.

What is completely ridiculous and a fkng sh** is the back.

WTF are they thinking about?

What’s this? WHAT IS THIS!!!!! Do not reveal the car, take two months more anche please change this back!!!!

The body panels and details don't match at all. You have curves, rounded areas than you have squares/box elements. It just doesn't work.

I Typically look at the headlights, taillights and grille as a starting point on how the rest of the body should be designed. It just doesn't work here. Take a look at the rear - the boot lid is rounded, the taillight(design) is rounded or curved but the rear bumper is completely boxy - it looks like a terrible aftermarket bumper someone bought off of AliExpress or Alibaba.

Sorry but this is worse. I actually think the front is ok. Different but I could get into it. The back with the inset bumper and rocket ship looking appendages just looks awful. For the love of God I hope this is just an awful angle but I couldn't take this bad of a photo no matter how much I tried on the F80.

Like it!

I’m going to take the minority view here and say I actually like it! The color not so much I think it’s too flat to show this car off well but this in BSM, debadged will be very very lovely. Then add some flair from the M2 CS/L and it will be perfection

Oofff this is bad. The over styled front and rear bumpers aren't doing it any good. The kidneys look like they are recessed into the front end. The rear looks like it got some sort of failed plastic surgery, gone wrong lol.

Not in love with the design language on this, the sharp angles and boxiness are kind of reminiscent of the cybertruck for some reason in my mind.

My feelings are actually hurt after looking at these photos.

The design language here is just…. confused. Its so boxy, squared off, rectangular, and beefy, in all the wrong places, in a disproportionate type of way.

Maybe just maybe these are terrible angles. Just look at how different you look in a selfie with the camera pointed at extreme angles. The camo images look sexy af and can't be hiding THAT much. Will reserve final judgment for official leak. 🙏

I agree this is probably the finished production car.The only thing i don’t get is why there aren’t any signature M side vents incorporated into this design.

I hope it's not the final product because otherwise I'm going to wait for LCI or keep my M240i forever. Smh.
