No on the individual. That factory doesn't support it with any car.
Well, good thing I am keeping the 1er and they can pry it from my cold dead hands.

Zoom in of the rear fender. It looks extremely pronounced and blends into the side skirts.

That rear fender looks pretty much spot on like the GT Vision concept with the vent pushed into the body.....much like what SCOTT26 said.

Side View With Less Camo

The side view with less camo looks like the ///M vent behind the front wheels will not extend very far downward, as was speculated, and, as expected, no vent in front of the rear wheels.

That rear fender is epic. I hope it's not an illusion from the photograph/reflection. I love it.

The actually venting part may not, but I still believe the curvature of the vent will extend downards and not be curled at the bottom like on the M3/4. I believe you can sort ofake out that the curvature extends below the camo, but it is hard to tell from this angle and with a low quality sbot.

I can't tell either and your camo x-ray vision has been really good thus far. We will probably see additional photos from other sightings soon.

BMW should have just configured Leipzig with Monte Carlo Blue Metallic for the M2 only - a proper ///M colour.
Then there wouldn't be any comments or about colour choices. It would just be all
I'm not interested in discussions about how MCB would take one colour away from the colour options for all the other cars built at that plant - it's a non-issue - I've provided the colour distribution statistics in another thread. There's more than enough room for MCB.

Looking really good. Car screams for a cf rear spoiler and cf end pipes... Wide hips are top and the color is growing on me.

And that's another reason I love LBB. You'll be able to see every little curve. Those pretty complex and interesting looking rear flares.

.... Porsche is like: oh hai, our hips don't lie.

Anyways, nice to see some meaningful removal of the camo, looks nice.

I think the biggest challenge is just getting past a GT350, no puns intended.

Shouldn't be a problem since most will never leave the dealership.

I doubt that, they're selling all they've got - if they're not already pre-sold.

Anyways, I'm eager to see what the final product will be and we've only got a little longer of a wait to know.

I'm wondering if that diagonal "crease" is actually a feature of the fender or an optical illusion of the treeline...regardless, the fenders are beautifully aggressive.

It's most definitely a crease. Look at photos of the GT6 and olyou can see, if you push the vent into the body work (close it) its the EXACT same shape.
