It looks quite hideous actually. Either a 3D model rendering or photoshop of modified M3, it's quite boring and uninspiring. M3 is definitely awesome as is, but not when all tweaked, streched, squashed, with ill proportion and non-sense details. Obviously, not really a car designer who worked on this photo. The artist probably uust thought it would be cool to make a midengine car with everything you see on M3. Yuk. have some sense of style and design, and create something BMW actually might produce, not some joke to be discussed over the lunch at BMW design studios.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[futurama]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2008 10:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Spied?

All indications say that the photo is a combination of photochopping and 3d modelling. A pretty well executed one, nonetheless.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[LeRobert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2008 10:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Spied?

Whether this is a render or not, to call such a car "hideous" is just ridiculous. I mean you don't have to be a fan of anything BMW has ever made to appreciate this design. <br><br>I'm not sure if it's the real deal or not but the thing is absolutely gorgeous and my hat goes off to anyone who could have made such a fine photochoped image. <br><br>If it is real. For the love of all that is holy BMW please build it. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[3seriesisking]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 4th 2008 11:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Spied?

Why the hell is there a powerdome and cooling slits on the front hood, is the tank that hot and huge!!!???<br>2. The entire front is one massive single piece of steel as there is no visible seam between fender and front bumper.<br>3. What are those red things?<br>4. Cut&Pasted R8 side wing and filler cap<br>5. The presence of another filler cap left to the r8 filler cap<br>6. The turn indicators on the bumper are crudely painted in and look unrealistic<br>7. Can't really tell if there is a Bmw logo on the wheels<br>8. The Dash is from an R8]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike S.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 5th 2008 11:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Spied?

Besides the badly angled little hood vents and the even worsly angled front end, the "reflections" on the hood have been completely blurred to make up for the fact they didn't match with other parts of the car. Also the amount of airbrush lines are hard to ignore. Heck, the rear wheel well doesn't even look very real and many of the curves aren't physically possible. Also, if this was a 3-d rendering or real car, we'd see another angle or 2...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Big Jim Slade]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 5th 2008 12:02PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Spied?
