My opinion....I want.

Agree. This video has changed my mind on the wheels. I can do without the orange, but in motion, those wheels are kinda nice!

The wing, on the other hand, has no "flow" with the rest of the car.

I never really had interest in white cars, but now (after all this time) I have come to the realization: White cars look better than any other color at night.

The wing and the lip have no cohesion with the design of this car, they are both ugly in my opinion. But this car is built specifically for a track so the items are functional, in that vain BMW seems to have just slapped on the bits that do the job, aesthetics wasn't a concern.
To make up for the ugly bits you get that gorgeous hood and iconic rear LEDs, both which will go under appreciated in a car with such low numbers and who's primary place of attendance isn't a public road.

I see a lot of interest in this car but it isn't for weekend cruises or driving to the mall. Everyone else seems to be able to make gorgeous track cars, like the GT3 RS but this missed the boat...sure, it will perform, and I guess that is it's only goal.

correct white always looks great on a M car, no way of arguing that, hence why its one of the more popular colors

Hoping it would sound different.

Daft · 01-22-2016, 09:48 AM

Those wheels actually look pretty good. Even better when they get rolling!

Nope. Wheels still don't work. They just don't look like they belong on this car.

DCG · 01-22-2016, 02:29 PM

Sweet! Those light look bright, and that's a good thing.

Let's see it in Frozen Black with black rims, now we're talking!

The headlights were on and brake lights worked, but tail lights were not working - OLED???

FriskyDingo · 01-22-2016, 02:32 PM

Meh. Still not feeling it. And no way I'd buy this over a GT3.

LDSM · 01-22-2016, 02:39 PM

Looks good

raysspl · 01-22-2016, 02:45 PM

Not bad. The wing is still ugly as fuck though

RingMeister01 · 01-22-2016, 02:49 PM

Nice. Could have been better aesthetically.

sdshah · 01-22-2016, 02:56 PM

Don't understand why anyone would pay this much for this car. Even if you have tons of money it doesn't make sense. There are so many better cars for price/value in that range.

m3less · 01-22-2016, 02:57 PM

My opinion...Exterior is nothing special at all, it's a M4 with a lip,wing and not so great looking wheels...

Except the Viper ACR with the 8 liter engine, I can't find others...

tacoman · 01-22-2016, 03:19 PM

Wheels...not bad. Have grown on me.

Wing...meh.

I cringed when they closed the door. All I could think was how bad did the door sill get scratched.

I am starting to love the car now.

That was not the seat belts. It something from his body. Looks like a key lanyard.

Gets the owner exclusivity within BMW enthusiast circles. I love the motor tech and hood but I'd have to love the wheels and wing to pay full boat.
