I will have to wait until I see it in person but from some pics of this and the new M3 it doesn’t look promising at all. BMW also really needs to fix the gauge cluster. It looks like a lazy attempt to modernize their cluster but it’s not remotely close to those of Mercedes and Audi.

...while there may be some talk about how auto makers are trying to cater to the Chinese market, it is a bit much to call this out entirely on "horrible Chinese taste" .

It looks pretty awful judging by the spy shots I have seen.

^^ haha, still better than a giant spindle to me in most incarnations, although the LC500 implementation looks pretty great.

They even added a license plate to cover that embarrassment.

I like it. I think its growing on me like the spindle grill. The M4 will be a beast too with 500hp.

It's going to look ridiculous with a North American license plate on it.
