It's available in purple and other colors are good too.
Interior and tech is same as 3/4 series. (!!!) Has M mirrors and a power dome. Best "new" BMW grille in a while. Hofmeister kink is there Has box fender flares. (!!!) Wheels options are awesome. Choice of blue or red brake calipers. You can get all cerium trim blacked out. Has the full power B58. LSD is standard. It's going to drive very very well. Apparently people don't like those things and a rear end that is a little awkward in photos means it's garbage, terrible, lost the plot... blah blah derpa derpa |

I would love to see a photoshop of the headlights being stretched horizontally more, maybe into the grills like the F30 3er or X7. Something about the shapes and sizes of the headlights and grills just look a bit off when looking at it straight on.
Thundernight looks great, nice to see Purple finally coming back into the auto industry.

Also you forgot - no bucktooth grille they spared us! But seriously I am interested in this car. My OG M2 proved that series motors are pretty awesome now. B58 is going to rip in this M240 considering you can even get a damn M diff. The only thing that isn't clear to me is whether the 6sp will be offered for NA market.

The 6MT is officially an M-Only Transmission in the US.

There is such a thing as objectively good car design.
I wish this was an example of that, it is not. I hope Frank Stephenson articulates that as he did with the 4er.

I see your point, but why deviate from dual halos? That is a BMW trademark and needs to be preserved in my opinion. As far as the rear goes, the tail lights don't make sense at all. All I meant was stick to a similar layout, something like the F30 vs G20 tail light design.[/QUOTE] Get used to it. The 5er prototype that leaked a few days ago looks to have single beams and the 7er prototypes seem to be single beams too.
