I don't think the dark colours suite it,doesn't show the body contours and design features,iirc they only do 5 colour choices.... I prefer Ionic Silver with Blue insets....




But I would say that.. Roll on the 1st of march..

I think the complete opposite to you and applaud BMW for launching a new car with concept car looks and technology.

I've been annoyed at BMW for ages for not releasing an Audi R8 rival, however this makes up for it.

Now all I need is for them to produce an M3 Touring to make up for the monstrosity that is the 2 Series AT and all will be forgiven.

It's brilliant.

Drive one and fall in love.

It's already setting new standards.

I read some reports saying BMW could be making an 'i9' supercar in 2016, their centenary year.

Had the chance to look over one in detail a few months ago, my grandson loved the gullwing doors (salesman insisted they were swanwing), in the flesh and the right colours it has a definite sense of presence, the interior is a very pleasant place to be.

The Aston Martins have swan wing doors. Like the term or not, they are gull wing.

I suspect BMW don't like the association of the gull wing door as its a Mercedes term.

In actual fact, they are actually Lamborghini doors, whatever they are called in Italy.

I think its looks fab and would have one tomorrow if I had 6 figures available for a motor.....

Lamborghini style lift up doors are usually referred to as scissor doors.

Saw my first one, going the other way on a DCway, today.

Wow. Just wow.

Here's one I took whilst filling up in Bracknell one day. BMW UK car.

Saw a black one in the Warrington showroom yesterday.

I loved it...

[julian64]

I used to love it and then someone mentioned the porshe poo. Now I can't look at it without seeing it.

Its the simplist thing but once someones told you about it the car is destroyed. I even mentioned it it a BMW dealership while picking up a car two weeks ago and they all knew about it.

Last one posted has better wheels.

Saw one in a showroom, yeah it looks good, but I thought the interior was very "corporate BMW", i.e. not particularly special.
