You guys are overacting. The problems with the pictures are that they were taken from very close to the subject, using a camera (most likely a cellphone camera) with a wide angle lens, and most of the pictures (but not all) were taken at eye level.

With a wide angle lens and close to the subject, the image is distorted. That is why you don't see the flared fenders on the rear. Pictures taken at eye level and close to the subject are going to be weird. Any color would look bad in these conditions.

Professional car pictures (magazines or the BMW M3/4 press pictures) are usually taken with a long lens from a distance so the subject is not distorted.
