The front is too busy but everything else looks good. I like me some fender flair.

Yep, stunningly ugly. Like BMW crossed Bugs Bunny with a Batmobile, and then colored it puke-piss green.

Yeah I'm not feeling that at all, the back end is nice I suppose but that's all...

Not Bugs Bunny. More like Roger Rabbit.

Maybe it will grow on me and possibly I'm showing my boomer generation taste, but it looks like something off of a game console. Suspect it would be a lot more interesting in person and a helluva lot better in flat black with selective highlights.

I actually like the design language...it's like art, very subjective.

It's not your baby boomer generation taste...it's just too much---overly designed. You have the oversized grille almost like the 328 Concept (probably trying to tie that in), the shark nose grille, the over sized flares, the wing, vents in odd places, the front spoiler, just all over the place in terms of design. Lacks cohension. It really only looks good from the back, and somewhat from the side.

Just give the people what they actually want and let's see the M2 already! Jeez!

Just kidding, kinda. I trust BMW with what they're doing, but if the M2 doesn't blow me away at this point I'll be disappointed. 'Amazing' won't cut it for me at this point, I'm too hyped up.

Easy fix, get an M3 or 4!

Looks like a stylistic barf of a vulgar Bulgarian tuner. Which makes it hard to believe it is an official BMW project. The profile can be salvaged but front and rear are a disaster.

looks like it was styled by a 14 year old, who likes Japanese style of car design.

Checks date.

Not April 1st.

Hmmm, where to start. Powerful design for sure, very wide fender flares. Overall the car looks M4 in length and I LOVErge side and rear profiles. I'd purchase that in a heartbeat.

HOWEVER.

That front, I think introducing the massive kidneys and the overlapping front wings at the same time is too much for us Joe public.

Will take a look again tomorrow.

Who cares? This has almost literally nothing to do with the M2. No matter what marketing says

Looks a bit like a 911 from the back, but the worst part is those terrible flares/scoops/god-knows-what on the front fenders.
