No these are the default 19" rims that you can select if you don't go for any of the lines (Sport, Modern, Luxury, M Sport). If you do go for a Line, you can chose between the specific 19" model that each Line has to offer or the default 19" from the pictures. Except for the M Sport where you can only chose between the 18" or 19" M wheels available, so the wheels from the pictures should not be on an M Sport but since it's a prototype it doesn't matter.

Kinda like Shrek ears once again.
I think maybe because they're folded up that they give that appearance?

The front and back bumpers look alot more modern with the sharp angles. You could call it more aggressive and masculine, but it doesn't look as sleek as the pre-LCI E92.

Disappointing how boring and bland it looks in black. The front headlights hang too low, the M-Sport bumper looks aftermarket rather than OEM, the hood is bulging too much for no reason, the rear lights are a design mess.

The M-Sport interior is just beautiful.
I don't know if it'll be feeding air through those vents. Unless you are driving real fast backwards, maybe its to let all the damn heat these cars create out... that is a good thing. As far as looks wise though, they could have done it up more like a GTR - the whole fender rather than a little bimmerang lol.

This car should have been released with an upgraded leather option. It's upmarket from the 3--there's no excuse for Dakota leather as the only upgrade, especially in the US market where tactile details are incredibly important for buyers of foreign cars.

The rear bumper isn't as aggressive as the 335is with the splitter. Still looks nice tho

I remember Scot26 saying that the only M Performance models we will now be getting in the States are the M235i and in X3 form.

I'm still not sure about this car yet. This is a US spec car so what you're seeing is what you're getting come this fall. I think the headlight and tail light design is so bland compared to the E92 LCI. I'll have to see this car in person to make a final judgment.

Love it. That front bumper grew on me real quick. At first I didn't love it.

yep. agreed. the only thing better would be to actually completely remove it and leave some sort of integrated hole in the fender which actually performs the same function. Still dont understand why it is actually an extra piece, looks so much better on the f15 where it's just a vent in the fender.

tail lights yes...but have you beent trailed by an F30 with bixenons at night before? MUCH better than e92 LCI in every which way. It's subjective though I guess.
