Can wait to actually see the vehicle in action! It is going to be a beauty!

[Das Johnson]

Im glad they redid the headlights, the ones in the second pic are ugly as hell. (Anyone with me?!)

[Marioalex24]

I will wait until I see it in person, but at the moment not really feeling it. For some reason the 1M looks so much better.

Projectors look a lot better than the LED crap. The car needs work with the hood/bonnet design and side mirror orientation (it's big and looks like it will fall off the side).

I like the AE in the second pic

[AtlantaDude]

All my likes!!!! I'll take the LED headlights please!

I'm still really hoping that this thing will come with a Carbon Fiber roof. I have yet to see any confirmation or test mule with one. I also hope it'll get CCB. I'll be ready to buy in a few years!

I'm assuming they are taking inspiration from this:

Personally I wish we get the normal hood (minus the line) if we'll talk following GT's lines. As usual the bean counters will ride the regular hood from the 2 series so no luck for us

[dmboone25]

Totally agree with ///W about the LEDs in person - much nicer - and seems to fit the design of the "not-round" corona rings better too.

I wish someone would take a shot at doing the rear...or the side...

Damn that first picture doe! I love the sad snoopy ears,


DA SAD SNOOPY EARS DOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Ahhhh right you are, Ken. I haven't downloaded that update yet. I don't mind them on the vision gt but I don't think they have a place on the production m2

[Colinv6]

Interesting to note that the vision GT has a normal shut line on the bonnet (hood) right down to the grilles

Right, no such luck for the production version! Stupid BMW

[sq86]

I'd like to see a rear render too. I hope it's an improvement over the regular 2 series because I absolutely hate the way it looks now.

Good catch, and boy does it make a difference. Cut lines are a large part of what makes or breaks a car design. I cannot fathom what drove BMW to go with that hideous horizontal cut line right across the front of the F platform cars.

It has to do with European regulations around pedestrian impact safety measures. Which sadly ruined the hood lines on BMW's.

I know it's for pedestrian safety but I just feel like Europeans should stop walking in front of cars even if they have the "right-of-way". My dad always taught me as a kid; you can be right but you'll be dead-right if you don't look in every direction for a car. I applaud the effort to save lives but perhaps we should look for ways to avoid the human/car impact altogether.

I'm saving up Got the GC 4 door and will get this for my weekender
being old though I hope that it has the automatic as an option- rumor is 6 SP only- I may get a manual anyway to relive my 30+ years rowing my own.

Guys that's a bunch of BS and you know it. There is a way around this...look at the upcoming 7 series, which will once again be in proper form, hood line wise.
