Hell, let’s disown it and call it French instead.

Designer two: Evel Knievel!
Project Lead: OK, General Lee outside, Evel Knievel inside. What's for lunch? Oh, and everything in the M performance catalog too. After lunch we're going to see if we can design an uglier hookah than Porsche design. The 3 that we'll sell will help offset the cost of creating a niche automobile for every possible lifestyle choice.

Someone please buy this now and immediately drive it into a lake. Insurance can take care of the money, and no one will ever have to see it again.

Kill it before it lays eggs!

But in all seriousness the car looks like it was inspired by Joe Dirt. I get it's an American model, but the red white blue montage is tacky at best.

As evidenced by some of the images posted, it maybe could have been done better in darker colors, although that does leave a problem for the white - dark white isn't white any more. But some of the images posted of Iron Man etc. where the blues and reds were more common than the white, but muted and not so glaring, it might have worked. Maybe limit the white to the stitching?

I just don't get how anyone with any design sense thought this was a good idea. Here is what must happen:

1- Fire the design team and everyone else who approved this monstrosity.
2- haul "that thing" away and dismantle it.
3- delete any and all blueprints to avoid repeating the mistake
4- post a collage photo of the car and recently fired designers on the wall to serve as a future warning to NEVER do this again
5- issue individually signed apology letters to all M owners, Fans and enthusiasts for degrading the M name and what it stands for.
6- while they are at it,I'll take a cup of coffee

What a bunch of yapping and crying. It's awesome. The wheels are ace and the interior will look great in real life. The rear spoiler is the only thing that could maybe do with being changed.

The BMW design team thanks you for this response. They were feeling somewhat despondent after reading the last several pages, but you have totally redeemed their efforts!!

Just for that, they will now commence with a UK edition, to include Union Jack inspired seats and wafts of warm beer emanating from the dashboard vents.

I hope that no one buys it at the end of SEMA , that will send a very strong message to BMW to never do this kind of $#!@ ever again.

Or if it get sold, it will be at a loss like 50% off...

U GLY !

Wheels, drop and exterior color are looking good!

Should have stopped there, and put the $ spent on the wing, roof and interior into more power
