The rear bumper doesn't look as big here.

It looks fantastic,I still would have located the rear reflectors in a different location on the bumper but I still really like the design.

Nice to see that they embossed the M logo on the front seats like the E46 M3.

I like it more from these pics

its kinda like an m4 in that certain angles, like the front 3/4, make the rear fender and side look really weird.

overall, not bad. look forward to real, non touched up pics in other colors.

This is the post by ynguldyn that gives all the details on the LCI for the 2 series and the M2.

Top of the boot (trunk) line is to high IMO. Like the M4, headlights too low, boot to high. Too wedgie.

God, I can't wait to see it in MG

And while I don't care for the reflectors, I bet the cut would look so much more aggressive if/when they're blacked out.

I'm liking the official pics a lot more, but I don't feel the rear bumper. The vertical reflectors are odd and overall it seems a bit too high for my taste

Missing:
- Oil temp gauge (unless it's in the Extended Contents display)
- Leather/Alcantara around the Auto shifter (WTF?!?!?!)
- "M" mirrors
- Hood candy
- Embroidered "M" on seats (Embossing? Really? On a $51k car?)

I will way that the drilled brake rotors look incredible, as do the front/back fender bulges. But beyond the fender vent and quad pipes, the rest of it does almost nothing to distinguish this car from a regular M235 -- particularly inside.

Design = Fail.

We'll see about the mechanicals. They do look promising, particularly for handling and power delivery despite the very modest 0-60 improvement over the M235 ...
