The grille is at least a normal size but WTF is going on with the rear?!

[integrale_evo]

It’s a mess of random bits chucked at a car, nothing seems to fit. Very strange. But at least it doesn’t have a beaver front end and a prolapsed arse.

I quite like the front, the backs a bit cheap looking but I'm surprised they've kept those ugly M wheels - they were always a bit lame on the old M135/140i.

Hopefully the prices of the current M2/comp will fall a little...

[Broccers]

When I first saw the rear I thought it was crap too.

I reckon its not that bad after looking at it a few times - think its a grower

I love that and prefer the rear end to the slightly dumpy one on the last M2 which I still thought was one of the best looking modern BMW's

[V8Granite]

The M2 has always looked a bit plump, like a nice body was made and then they smoothed the edges and inflated it 5%.

This one looks horrendous.

Dave!

[Jobbo]

Looks like a practical version of the Z4. But quite appealing; the wheels look shared with the M340i rather than the old M140i. Interesting flared wings. Rear lights are the only thing which looks a bit wrong but if more BMWs get them, they could start to look ok.

They are different wheels.

The new ones are the same 19s as in the M340i and more like the M2 wheel with a diamond cut face.

fair enough, very similar looking design though and still not nice. Being a bit bigger will help I guess.

[Explosive Newt]

I actually quite like that, in particular I like the up-turn of the spoiler at the rear...

[Ascender]

I don't think the back-end looks too bad but its very on-trend with a lot of manufacturers' current styling cues.

[jamcg]

I like it, apart from the light blocks look like some aftermarket shite

The colour sounds like a name broccers would give his penis aswell- “thundernight”
