The manual option I feel is to placate the purists. The way the models are setup makes me feel like the take rate would be very low, then they have an excuse to kill the manual 2 years in at the LCI.

Eh I don't think YMB was that bad. Not my first choice (I ordered mine in LSB, second choice was Atlantis Metallic, San Marino Blue, Techno Violet.....) but it's not bad.

I was apprehensive with the awkward grills initially but seeing enough press photos of the Isle Of Man Green its definitely grown a lot on me. Its a risky step for BMW with this design but I'm looking forward to seeing this green in person, I bet it will look incredible.

I don't know how I feel about the indent in the hood that extends to the front bumper. And how the badge is located inside that indent...

Looking at the rest of it I see it more like the bits behind the grilles are raised, since the bit the badge is on is the same level as the rest of the hood and fenders. Which makes the indents behind the grilles look even sillier.

They could have done this. Still would of been a bold move and would have looked 30x better.

The Straight Pipes got an exclusive. S58 engine sounds great, interior is dope af (minus the odd paint scheme not matching interior/exterior), car is still ugly af.

Love the new design. Looks aggressive and mean, like Bane in Batman. It's so ugly; I love it.

Looks like they may have taken a note out of Alfa Romeo's design, however.

They totally ruined the side fender grill too.

It used to be so subtle, elegant with the right hint of aggressiveness. E46 aced that side grill and it's copied on many aftermarket rice "stickers" for other brands...

Now... WTF is this shit?!
