Instead of doing that, I would just put it out of your head until you can see it in person.

Pictures - especially chance photos like this - often accentuate the bad and conceal the good. It's just like studio shots of a celebrity vs. candid photos walking the dog taken by the paparazzi. Now, its true that if something is just downright beautiful its hard to make it look bad regardless of the situation. But I am sure that if you look around you can find unflattering E92 M3 pictures too, and probably other generations as well.

I suspect that most people who aren't deliberately trying to cling to some reason to dislike this car's aesthetics are eventually going to end up with more desire than distaste for it. And, I further suspect that seeing them out and about in person, in real life, is going to fuel that phenomena.
