That is sweet! Nice to see an exciting roadster come out from BMW again! Hope the production vehicle captures the same vibe.

Looks sick! Something about its surfacing and rear haunches reminds me of the LC500 (not saying they look anything alike at all). I will give BMW a lot of praise if they can faithfully keep the design in the production model like Lexus did with the LC.

The massive overbite front is a total disaster! The lower portion looks completely separate from the upper portion. Very Pontiac Solstice and truckish. Back end however is pure sex. See how easy it would be for BMW to add those sexy taillights to a 3 and 5 series? Cheap and easy way to gain way more sales by simply stretching and smoothing out the lights to modernize them. In many ways, most current BMW cars are stuck in the past with an outdated Pontiac grille and chunky taillights.
