Today in a residential area. One pretty much uncamouflaged model and a handful of camouflaged models.

I like what I see on the uncamouflaged one.

That white one looks sweet.

Rear end kinda looks like a Lexus IS, but the overall car looks nice.

They look good, but the back is a dead copy of the last gen IS

I love that they tapped over all of the BMW logos, including on the rims, yet everyone immediately knows it is a BMW.

I'm guessing the white one has a bunch of m performance add-ons

Looks good, however I don't regret my non bmw purchase

Why would you? I think it's very likely this won't unseat the Giulia for driving fun. As an overall package, maybe. The Z4 reviews say that BMW is applying the exact same steering to the 3er which would be great (not that I care that much about mythical steering feel).

I like it a lot, but man, that chrome kidney grill treatment looks very gaudy.  I hope the sport and M trim levels have that blackened out or its an option somewhere.

At least it's not a unibrow kidney like on the M2 comp

Or the X7's buck teeth.

The thing that kills me the most is cars don't even need all that grill area these days.

I can't believe that anyone at BMW actually thought that looks good.

The X6/GLE Coupe/CLA have shown how much/little German luxury brand buyers care about looks :lol:

It's a BMW, it's expensive... it's going to sell.

Saw a black one today with no camo, but could not get a shot. Didn't appear to have an M-Body kit, still looked good.

The thing that you instantly notice is that this thing is almost as big as an E60 5er!

For all intents and purposes it is.

For what it's worth the F30 is as big inside as an E39. The F32 looks like a 6 series to me with that looooooooong rear window.
