M1 Front Bumper Change?

Scott,

After seeing all of the renderings floating around, will the M1 still get the same M3 headlight eyebags as seen in this early rendering? ..Which is very similar to the M3.

I was hoping so, but the spy pics with the camo-ed production bumper look as though that won't be the case.

There are still quite a few cosmetic pieces missing from the mules. I have my fingers crossed.

I think it will. If you look closer, you can see that the side air intakes are fake. The camo is very nicely done. Zoom up to see better. Yellow lines.

I wonder if the real bumper is hiding under those flat sheet-like panels that form the inlets for the ducts.

Yes, the headlights stay... but he mentioned eyebags under the headlights like the M3. Look at the rendering in my original post.

Well it's hard for me to picture the difference it would make. The M3's headlights were "angry" already. IMO the eyebags in the render really don't alleviate the Doey-eyedness. Maybe I'll notice once we get production photos. If they implement it.

On a side note, is it just me or are those rear tires REALLY fat?

As in non-low profile?

It might just be an ///M thing--my dad's M Coupe had the fattest, non-low profile tires I have ever seen.....
