*Photos is not the car shown today. This was the concept for comparison.

This preview was the M3 Electric production ready (Full market name not yet set, according to BMW employee)

No photos of the production car available as the preview did not allow any recording devices.

The car was hidden from the public and they controlled the viewing only to people without any devices.

Few things stand out after the advanced viewing.

1. It is VERY close to the Neue Klasse M concept, in fact so close you can barely tell. Even in the exact same color as the concept. The wheel arches are toned down obviously but overall stance remains.
2. Rear door transition crease to the wheel well is much better transitioned compared to current g gen M3.
3. Real functional rear defusers, unlike the current g gen Ms, which are cosmetic for the most part.
4. CF roof is a new type of weave and not the typical ones seen so far on the market, very interesting, and according to the onsite employee, final for production.
5. The hood vent is real and seems to be functional.

Overall much more cohesive design compared to all of current g gen.

BMW M is back, at least from an exterior design standpoint. Interior and driving feels is yet to be seen.
