Not a fan of that front end at all.. Too bulky and not sporty looking at all. Not for an M car anyway.

Man that looks badass..we will be getting LED headlights only on the LCI though right?

And it's beyond me how ugly those reflectors on the rear bumper are..cant stand them on the X5/6 either. Luckily its an easy fix.

Congrats fellow photoshopper. Looking at the details and style, those reflections came out real, good stuff.

Back bumper also looks a bit big/fat... it would be nice to pull that up a tad to see a nice wide tire and an aggressive diffuser. Side skirts also do not match the front bumper.

Hopefully this is just a bad photoshop and the car flows better when they reveal it.

I agree that the proportions are off but it is still nice to see something new, based off of the latest spy pics of the car,especially from the front.I just hope we see the real thing later this week.

I had such high hopes for this car, extremely underwhelmed. GT350R is looking more and more appealing.

This looks better than most the renders so far but still off. That rear is a copycat of the X6M rear, which IMO is a horrible thing. Let's hope it doesn't look like that. I'm waiting for the actual reveal to save my judgement.

Do you guys think we'll ever see the M2 in Sakhir Orange or Valencia Orange? That's the only way I'd get an M2... Please say say we will!

Really? Wow. I think it's extremely aggressive. Cleaner than the front bumper of the M4. I love both for unique reaosns. But I just can't see this not being seen as aggressive. Looks like it wants to kill someone.

Only way would be vinyl wrap or a custom respray. No individual paint offerings on the M2
