I have yet to read anything negative about the electronic trick diff in the F8X and M5s. Why wouldn't you want it?

I was thinking the front and rear bumpers have a lot of similarity to the F80 with the vertical air vents on the ends.

Its the opposite of what is on the M3 and M4. As you know M has a thing for function over form so whilst the M3 and M4 have additional wings above the intake. The M2 places them here but they are curved to allow air to split through the curtains and to the brakes. Its something new, beneficial of course and keeps M design fresh and individual.

What's with the nasal hair looking bars behind the kidney grills? The new 3 series have that regrettable look as well and it's really annoying.
I'll get a new M2 or M3 but the looks leave a lot on the table for the next generation. I suppose that is the whole point... |

The more we can eleminate electronic trickery out the car the better the driving experience is. The car needs to be driven by people not electronics to have the best fun. So for me just a plain and simple mechanical LSD |

This car is going to be pretty. But will it deliver enough to justify a 10K premium over an M235 and be distinct enough NOT to jump to an M3/4? To me, that is the question. I am hoping so, but it remains to be seen.

See the resemblance?
Picture this front in a production car and then you can complete the jigsaw.

is it me, or do I see side "air curtain" things like the F8x, only bigger/longer in all of that camo? this car is the one I want, however, by the time this hits showrooms, itll be a used versus new situation; a used F8x, or a new M2?
