I think the F82 looks really good. A couple of things that bother me...

1) I think the rear end looks very similar to a Lexus IS-F (and I really despise Toyotas)
2) The front bumper/grilles/lip etc look really good, but for modders it will be interesting to see what people do. And it looks really low already, so anyone who tries to lower it more will be in trouble. Interested to see what a base model front bumper will look like or if this will be a standard bumper (doubtful)
3) Obviously it needs to lose the 6 series wheels...and Im sure it will.
4) Im looking forward to seeing it in a normal color. I know some people love phoenix yellow (aurum dust) but I am not a fan. Looks like aged piss.

Its basically just the normal evolution of a car over the years. E46 will always be a special car in most M owner's hearts very similar to E30. E92 was very different (not necessarily better or worse, just different). Not sure if F82 will hold the same significance that the E46 and E30 held in people's hearts, but I guess time will tell.

Full disclosure... E92 owner and will probably own both F82 and E92 within a few years.
