Fender flares look a bit odd. I'll wait to see how this shapes out. Hopefully it doesn't end up like the C63 lol.
That camouflage is extensive so I wouldn't worry too much about it. The brakes already look improved over the E9x M3 with a larger caliper and 4 pistons up front. Maybe we will see an upgraded brake package in a future competition mode perhaps. As it stands now, the car will be lighter with a bigger brake. That is a step in the right direction.

What worries me the most, is the electric steering. I hope they have and take their time ironing out the kinks to give us what we expect from BMW. Bad steering alone will keep me from upgrading to a new M3 if they don't get it right. I don't care if the car is faster. I can make my current M3 faster with about 12K and retain the excellent tactile feedback I expect.
