That pic is 116px × 47px, too small to make out anything. Going cross eyed trying.

I was just wondering if the finished rear bumper design has a diffuser that hides the exhaust can.It is quite visible in the M2 Competition test mule pics.

I like the way it looks. The lower portion alone really looks nice. The grille is a tad bit wider but it could grow on me.



I did not say that was from the M2 Competition. I also do not think that the picture looks like a splitter or roof. Take a closer look and you will know what it looks like.

What I was asking of Gatte as he has seen the entire video, if he saw a CF roof in it? The roof is not visible from the image.

akkando yes, the slits look about right, but minus the grill. When I looked at the uncropped picture, the grill looked more like 8 series — imagine a one piece grill in gloss black:

Are you saying that the grill looks like the 8 series pic and is attached in the middle?

This is it but Gatte had earlier shown another pic that showed the whole front bumper and was't cropped.I don't think anyone was able to copy that pic because he deleted it very quickly after posting ii.I didn't see it.

Deleted pic.Gatte doesn't want the pic to be shown in this thread anymore.

You have seen the grille when it was on this thread.
The 2 kidneys look attached in the center and are gloss black in the center. The 3 slats in the bottom are similar to the ones from the PS4 GranTurismo concept except the 2 slats on either side of the center slat are slightly smaller than the center slat.

There are 5 vertical gills per kidney. The whole grille is gloss black.

There is no CF roof. At least not one that is unpainted like in the M3/M4.

Thank you! That’s better than nothing. I am no IT expert but isn’t everything on the web archived? Surely someone would be able pull up the original pic!

Hi Gatte, good looking out on the unoffical info.
I have a question about rear bumper. From the looks of it do you think we’ll still be able to use the same rear diffuser? I’m just wondering if i could swap over my M CF?

I’m really surprised we didn’t see any of the mules with bigger grills. Wouldn’t BMW need to test the airflow and the impact on aero?

Same here: missed the whole thread and the short-lived 'mystery picture'. Never mind, we can use our imagination.

Upon reading the comments about the M2 Competition kidneys, it sounds as if those are slightly more akin the BMW Vision Concept GT6, or even more 'stretched' (as if some heavy weight person has been sitting on the BMW hood badge)...





...than reflecting the design language of kidney designs BMW filed at WIPO (public database) in the recent past (below: 4 examples):

Artemis,apparently the kidneys are actually attached in the middle.It is not a design feature that I like.
