it feels like "BMW" is trying to lose its unique styling that it had back in the day... the simple clean look. I guess the aggressive look sells now? so they are changing up the simple look.. the e46 m3 looks better imo

Here's another link with a more complete description: http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/bmw_m3_concept.asp

I think it looks real good, but I would have to drive it before I was sold on it. I have always loved the M3 look, but after driving my friend's 03 several times, I thought that our car handled better and had a better exhaust note. Obviously, we don't have the same power, but I feel more connected to the road in the G. I hope BMW puts a short throw shifter in the manual for the next gen because I hate the current stick.

is it just me or does the rear look weak? I like the front end, looking aggressive. But the rear on the M and 335 coupe, looks so passive and small. the exhaust is all tiny and not really in your face. maybe i'm just used to the big bubbly butt rear end of the g coupe.

what is it with all the broken lines on this new design? if you look at the side view, none of the body lines or joints flow together...their all broken and jumbled up, throw in a mess of different styled vents, and you get this hodge podge coupe. And why can't bmw just line up the bottom of the tail lights? That irks the crap out of me. haha... I'll wait for the new 08 G-coupe and throw in a turbo kit with the money I saved...

a lot of people (and they mammas) say that they will throw a turbo on something with the saved money but hardly anyone ever does

+1 on the tail lights....I think the car overall is a sexy b**ch, but those lights would make me consider buying something else. I think I would much rather have the new G Coupe.
