At first blush this first reveal is problematic from all angles. The Bermuda triangle front intakes are unseemly/ungainly looking. The protruding side rocker panels are going to require an immediate upsizing in tires, and/or insertion of spacers to make the stance and appearance look more proportional. And finally the whole rear looks like a (s)mashup.

About the only thing I am digging is the purple skin (Thunder something or other).

That being said, the LCI of the G87 is what I will have eyes on.

I have dancing in my head a '28 or '29 stripper in Le Mans blue with 6 speed manual.

The only other thing on my wish list is a more communicative, less numb steering rack.

They really ought to have this thing figured out by then, but then again it's been 8 years now and ESP is just as frustrating to me as it was at inception.

Oh, and please BMW offer a traditional polished silver wheel option. Not everyone thinks murdered looking black wheel are all that.
