That's hilarious cause you haven't actually seen what it looks like. None of us have

I agree, but you shouldn't think that's what the actual car looks like. Renderings are made based off what we know at the moment, which isn't much

Not a fan, but that's just me. In fairness, it could have been worse had they snuck those nasty M3/M4 grills on it.

Assuming this render is close to the finished product, I feel like a lower splitter - even painted to match - would complete that lower section. It just looks like the design stopped abruptly when they got to the lower facia.

I’m well aware of what I stated, so let me help everyone else understand.

The spy photos, the bumpers, and the renderings all point to this car being ugly. The M2 (current) is the best looking BMW since the E46 M3, and this is a CLEAR step down from that.

Except for a few people who believe that liking all of BMW’s ugly new lineup is a religion, I think everyone else agrees.

I'm not one of those. There are plenty out there that have seen the spy shots and are happy with what they've seen thus far. Check out the other G87 threads.

Congrats. Hopefully the HEA is modifiable.

Some up-close front & rear spy shots; side views

I dunno - I think it's definitely a looker from the side. Front seems OK - all depends on the headlights. But looks more cohesive to me than the M240i. Same with the rear - I like the flourishes down at the bottom.

Side view is tough-lookin'. Esp that long hood & the beefy rockers.

Note in the one pic a piece of the camo near the driver's side headlight flew off. So at least we know it's fast. LOL

Yeah my biggest concern with this car will be the rear...specifically the tail lights and their proportion to the rest of the rear. That being said, the M240 rear looks better in person so I'm going to remain optimistic.

Other than that, I think it'll be a gorgeous brute.

Will it look nicer than the F87? Doubt it, but so long as it’s not a butterface (like the G80/2) and doesn’t look awful otherwise it will be worth the upgrade. The G chassis is really well sorted, especially when paired to the S58.

It will be extremely hard to top F87's looks

Performance yes, but on looks unlikely

It definitely needs it's own character

High hopes for the incoming G87

I like the side view also. It will be exciting to see what it will actually look like. I like the look of the M240i, the back looks kind of funny, but overall I like it.
