The rear bumper indents that house the reflectors look like someone pranged the clay model and they just rolled with it
They don't bother me as much as I think they've been on other M cars, its the cutout that goes into the rear diffuser/exhaust bit that I think looks gopping in certain colours.

Actually, looking at it now, they almost look like they are meant tote jet thrusters or something. Much bigger and pronounced than on other cars.
Cheers,

Mike.

I saw one in that trendy battleship grey colour and figured out why I like it, it’s brutalist car design. Looks like a stealth destroyer.

The grey colour on that car is a shocker. Joe Achilles had one, its crazy they think that's a good colour for a press car.

Old 944 Turbot in the Floridian sun for @mik :

Darth Vader's new Lambo Revuelto parked underneath an GT3 RS's wing getting some attention:

Not pictured:

- 9,312 G-wagens;
- New Shape RR Phantom;
- Couple of Bentaygas
- F Pace SVR;
- Ferrari F8;
- Few of those Rivian things;
- An Ineos Grenadier;
- 992 Turbot S outside SoHo Beach House; and
- Lots of Merican SUVs that I cannot identify.

No Aventadors yet, unlike last year - maybe everyone has sold them and are waiting on their new Revueltos to be delivered.

i was behind a new M5 for a while today - and aside from the panty gusset detail (which at least isn't “crotchless” like on the F12) i liked it.

I saw one in Techno Violet the other day. That almost looked acceptable.

Saw one in Miami just before I left. Sounded and looked like garbage, I'm afraid.

I was having a look online but found it quite hard to ascertain exactly which one. The window surrounds on the doors and the roof guard thing look different to a lot of others.

The back was actually its least good looking angle but I was trying not to do a full fanboi photo side on whilst he was sat in stationary traffic. I think if I lived in the US I'd probably have one :lol:

Cooler than the enormous Chevy Suburban I got back to the airport at any rate.

And this very cool Thunderbird. Not normally my thing but in this colour it was utterly stunning:
