I kinda like it, its definitely a throwback to the original sporty bimmers. Actually, I can see some of the lines from the Nazca in there too.

I can't tell if I like it b/c those wheels are such an abomination. Maybe with a set of wheels that doesn't make me want to cry I could decide.

Yuck. It looks like a wannabe-Nagare but failed miserably. BMW needs to stick with blocky cars that they do best.

Wow, now THAT is sexy.

What is it? Reminds me of a Vette without the hideous rear end.

The wheels have to go, and the front looks similar to the new dodge challenger. Chances are, if they do make it, it will look nothing like this.

I think you are all missing the point that it's based off of the original M1, not everything else currently on the market. You can see the carry over in the wheel design as well as overall silohette of the car. I'm not saying I like it, but I think its an interesting take on the original.

I still think the 599 looks like someone slapped on a Ferrari front end on a Supra. The side view is dead on Supra.
