No. you are getting this really wrong.

BMW is doing everyone a favor. Attendees might potentially get instant cardiac arrest if they reveal it at once.

But to be honest, I am kinda excited about this car now. I am sure the car will drive really well, may be better than M3.

Ok, after reading more and more about it, I want one now. Damn it! But I still think the car is too ugly.

This was the M1 concept (supercar version) 2 years ago. At least the paint color is the same.

Thankfully those spider-web wheels never made it outta the lab (I'm hoping anyways).
