Need to see one in a different colour, the i30 blue isn't a good launch colour

Exactly what I thought, with darker colour should look way better than this Zandvoort blue .

Ctothej · 10-10-2022, 04:32 AM

Does anyone know what the car on the right is? The white one..

Bimmertron · 10-10-2022, 05:12 AM

Am I crazy or does the rear end look like it has a goofy face?

It looks like two eyes (headlights), chubby cheeks (weird fat protrusions), smile line where the trunk ends and teeth (exhaust). I can’t unsee it.

On a serious note, did they really make the front parking sensors just a giant black plastic board that protrudes past the front bumper?

Ctothej · 10-10-2022, 05:12 AM

It's a wrench to me. Can't unsee it.

rk95 · 10-10-2022, 05:20 AM

Honestly looks pretty good. I like it. I bet the stance is much better in person.

barnshaw292 · 10-10-2022, 05:22 AM

I have to be honest, this looks terrible, the side profile looked quite nice on some of the other images but the front and rear are truly awful, no aggressive look lo the front at all, horrible lining. It will drive great but its aesthetically terrible IMO

trey100 · 10-10-2022, 05:30 AM

I feel like the black portion of the rear bumper is disappearing in these photos and exaggerating the other non-black parts of the car.

PS - you'd think the people taking these photos would take one or 2 decent ones. Why not capture the whole car?

F87EVO · 10-10-2022, 05:34 AM

Its 2022 and still some people use 144p cameras

Because most of this forum is 50 year old dudes with iPhone 5S’s that have no clue how to take a basic picture.

Ctothej · 10-10-2022, 05:41 AM

In saying that though, when you walk up behind the car, this is what you will see... you won't crouch down to look at the car at its 'picture perfect' angle.. it's taken at a decent height even though the angle is unflattering

Either he is the same in all world car leaks , or this profession has it

Even with subpar lighting and angles, it’s clear that the car has the full M presence. I’m enjoying the aggressiveness of the bumpers, side skirts, and overall width. Like the fangs on the F87, the angular front and rear deliver a fresh new visual stimulus that makes this design exciting and different and worth the wait. This car in Alpine White with black wheels and red calipers, gimme.

donm527 · 10-10-2022, 05:57 AM

Wow. Another bad angle on that rear bumper?? A rear end that looks like it should be on the back of a Toyota Corrola or something.

And then how they use the existing M240i headlight and modify it with some black filler to fit the squared off shape of the front clip??

donm527 · 10-10-2022, 06:35 AM

Did Jose Casas design the M2 exterior or is that done by a different team all together?

T_U_D · 10-10-2022, 06:47 AM

Sorry folks, but this is truly the wrong color for a launch car.

MadBimmeRad · 10-10-2022, 07:26 AM

Ugly cars looks good only in black, so also this one will look good in black colour.

fanofbmwe46 · 10-10-2022, 07:27 AM

Front could be ok in person but the rear end, gawddd

Call me crazy but I dig the rear end, I think the quad pipes and angular corner fenders look sick.
