You have also lost the "pot belly" line down the side for one that actually swoops up the rear fender...makes the car look longer somehow, at least to me...

I have had 2 E82s and I think this, and the M235, are going to address the major issues I have had with my 135s--the front end. I have really enjoyed my E82s and really like them from some angles--but the front could have been done so much better, AND still retained a look that was different than the 3er, 5er, etc. of the relevant time period..

They have made the front look aggressive without making it look just like the 3er or 4er...and there's room to grow if there's ever an M2, styling wise.
