Good sketch Harold, thanks very much for the efforts.

I'm starting to worry a little about the M2, from this angle it looks like an M235i . Perhaps because the MR was such an iconic launch colour for the M235i.

Hopefully one of power dome or CF roof appear as a visual differentiator, I'm sure one or both will soon.

There's 3 things that bother me a little about the M2 as imagined thus far.

1. Lack of a custom hood - my favorite element on M3
2. Lack of the CF roof
3. Some sort of inlets for rear brake cooling

Great job. The intake line that goes above the fin needs to be higher up however. The intakes will look much bigger than that.

Not bad, but I agree the front bumper is a bit off

Here, you can see what I mean by looking at the Vision GT6 and some other images. Fantastic render otherwise though.

Suppose we'd get the normal hood line and vents with the next generation model. Sucks that BMW is leaving these easy and visually pleasing fixes on the table. Perhaps if folks are not impressed with the car, looks and technology wise and sales are low, they'd finally get the memo. I'm not a blind BMW fan boy. This car will have to impress me so that I can stay with the brand.

Good luck, Munich!

Next 7 and 5 have the hood line down to the lights. Will roll out on model replacements but no chance for any current F series having that.

Agreed that things are moving in the right direction once again.

Not that there's anything wrong with your lovely ride. M4s look great in person, the lower, wider stance does make the hood line acceptable. The 2,5 series however don't wear that line very well, IMHO of course.

Drop the front down. No way it sits that high.

Add a carbon fiber roof, because there will be one, and don't black out the headlights like that it makes them look ghetto.

Otherwise you are our resident photoshop king.

Was contemplating red for the last several months but I'm chickening out as it gets closer. Gonna play it safe with white or silver.
