Ugh... I wish they would just show the LCI at this point. Cars will be in production in something like 90 days. (not sure if this variant will be released right when the LCI is)

Power increase will be minimal given the recent CS model history. ECU remap and/or hi-flow exhaust and intake could easily yield 20-50 bhp without much expenditure. An electric motor adds big time power and cost.

Why? It's cheaper to produce than making sure the weave is straight on traditional carbon and they will most likely charge more. I honestly don't see the appeal of it looking like a fake marble countertop

It's very filthy after running some very fast laps.

Those front bumper side air inlets have an interesting insert in them. Could be weird by themselves so I wonder if there is some change to the middle opening to make it flow better. Hood hump doesn't flow right in my opinion and I wonder if it's functional considering the CS is supposed to have a more compact new V8. Front lip is meh. I would like it if they made the whole front more aggressive akin to the M2 styling and added some M3 style rear fender flares. And bigger factory exhaust tips.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I love how the forged carbon looks on the huracan performante. If it looks anything like that I'm all aboard. Not a game changer either way but I do like that they are thinking of ways to change things up (I don't really care what it costs them to make things I only care about the value it gives me and aesthetics are a form of value)

This car would be awesome if they made it wider at the fenders. Front wheels to be 285 rear 325, big fenders, aggressive, lower roofline

Yup. I don't get the complaints here; I'd rather have another more hardcore version of the M5 than some front-wheel drive M hatchbacks.

Like the hood, dislike the lights. The existing lights at least give a nod to the old angel eyes, these look like Audi lights and other generic headlights I've seen.

I dont understand the niche this car is trying to fill. Isnt the CS moniker for a light weight track focused car? This isnt it. So maybe CS now is what Competition was, more power, suspension, and exhaust tune? Is this car going to be limited edition? What is BMW doing here?

The F90 continues to be a gorgeous/savage looking car. Agree that I don't like BMW going away from the angel eyes. Also, the angel/halo lights really doesn't have as long a history with BMW as I originally thought. It was only launched in 2001 with the E39.

Regardless, I agree with you.

"forged" carbon is a nice fancy way of saying recycled carbon scraps glued together that were just laying around going to waste
Funny.

To my eyes the hood bulge has a ridge or some kind of separation in the middle, no doubt to tie to the forthcoming M3/M4 design language with the pronounced twin power bulge nostrils
