I like how they have M-scoop in the bumper extended above bumper line and it visually reduces the flat sheet metal appearance between headlights and grill.
^agreed. Also make the "eyes"/lights appear smaller! Dare I say it, it even looks good as a three door!
New side view mirrors and wheels are great touches and ads to the uniqueness Side view: With the 3-door, the elongated bonnet is even more pronounced looking fab!
Much, much better! Is this getting anprated N54? Also, is that a reverse camera integrated into the rear PDC sensor?

Hello! BMW M135i with N55 3-litre, straight six-cylinder engine and 235 kW/320 hp 450Nm between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm 0-100kph in 5.1 seconds (4.9 with automatic) THE ULTIMATE DRIVING HATCH!
As one of my coaches said when I was a pro athlete some years ago, when we did some excersizes: "Much better, but still very bad" If you get my point. Those headlights gotta go. Horrible. Rest of the car looks better. I would still pick the A3, the Astra OPC and the Golf R anyday over this.
That angle is actually not bad at all! You can't see the big sad eyes and that is what saves it. Here's hoping for the coupe not to get the same headlights. It wouldn't take much:
From this angle it actually looks not bad at all, though from the front it's been hit about the face with the ugly stick.
M135i with special tyres . More info on it? The suspension settings were completely reworked to match the special tyres and the modifications to the chassis. The application of the steering, the adaptive M running gear and the entire powertrain was completely revised and newly harmonised. The exclusively developed tyre is provided solely as part of a mixed tyre combination. So we didn’t have to allow for a whole range of tyres of different dimensions, as is the case with the basic models.
