I like the bronze wheels, that's about it..

Same yeah, the wheels are lovely.

The exhaust is terrible, the rest... pretty bad.

It's hard to find the right words. So I'll just spout a few out.

Blocky
Rancid
Power Ranger
Exhaust(ing)
Too much

The quotes in the article - are they genuinely quoted from BMW or is it the article author taking the mick?

They appear to be genuine BMW quotes but I am genuinely not sure if even BMW M-Marketing Division Pro CSL X-Drive is capable of such excrement.

[Magnum 475]

Have BMW now employed some of the kids who were tarting up their XR3s for Max Power mag in the 90s?

'cause that's what this looks like,

[Mutley78]

It’s like a 2 Series mated with a Civic Type R.

They do look like they’ve gone down the angular Civic Type R styling route - I guess, like the Honda, the underlying mechanicals are still fast

Well, you would look a bit of a cock driving that thing!

The chav tow hook thing is the real mind bender for me, it basically highlights that their market seems to be the current Corsa brigade with all this stuff.

I can forgive the bronze wheels though, lovely!

Yes - this seems to be targeted at rich 20 somethings with poor eyesight, although I would argue that they now generally drive VAG rather than Corsas.

That's very true actually, market wise, it is the live at home with parents, call centre worker smashing the commission and spending 50% of their income on a lease or PCP deal.

Nailed it.

We’re all too old to understand.

BMW M- its not ugly enough
BMW M performance parts - Hold my beer

[Silvanus]

I'm sure they will sell load

[dave_Sw1]

the weird triangle exhaust 'upgrade' is seen on literally no M3s because it looked rubbish, can't believe they doubled down on it here

[Shiv_P]

WTF

[nunpuncher]

Nice! Jumping spider 4 eyed exhaust

[GreatScott2016]

I just wonder if those ridiculing this new BMW are the same peeps as those that were recently pouring praise on the new GT3 RS? Both are track focussed and extrovert, but surely the Porsche is even more OTT?

[Fiesta1.0L]

Can they do a middle age pack? Replace the rear bumper and exhaust with a single outlet pipe that's big enough but not Audi RS stupidly big?

[nismo48]

Quite a serious attempt to add more expensive tat to a car that hardly needs a cosmetic uplift...

[Rapidcrumpet]

Some of the changes/additions are ok in isolation, it would be a brave soul to go for the "throw everything at it" spec!

[pb8g09]

I actually prefer this to the standard car from the other day. I would actually love to have a hoon around in this.

There I said it. Now I’ll take a shower and wash my mouth out for the PH massive.

[Magikarp]

I like that. In white with ALL the trimmings. Go big or go home.

[zorba_the_greek]

its a no from me. LFA exhausts!? really
