Looks they traded out the stupid pot-belly sag. Very thankfully. Now, if they can just make the headlights actually look aggressive - this would be bad ass coupe.

Fundamentally the only difference I see is the pot-belly sag removed, and the rear quarters. Otherwise no real difference (no headlight comparison b/c this render has no front shot).

Now, the 1M would be even more badass w/out the darn sag.

What do you think about this mash-up 2 (E46 [CSL] + E81 + E82), except for its nice color, Dackel ?

Artemis - that render doesn't seem to flow very well. Something odd/off about the roof line and rear end too much like an e87. I really don't see any e46 in it.

PS: I do like the color.

Except if mistaken, E46 M3 CSL wheels in the 2er rendering.

i like the side lines better, and the removal of the potbelly is nice. i also REALLY that they've increased the rear black section...it makes the car appear to be sportier. one thing that i hate in the new renders is the separation of the rear brake lights. i love that the 1M keeps the rear lights in one, nice, simple and beautiful contiguous section. the ass-end of the 1M is just gorgeous.
