Does anyone like this detail? I don't mean, can you overlook it because you like wagons and M cars. I mean, do you see it and think it looks good? It seems like a horrible design flaw to me...

they are changing up design team as announced recently but not sure if designs will be better. That yellow monstrua is all about anti M … they must be eating too many brats over there and having a few brews instead of developing proper perf cars

this thing is scrap metal in 5y

prepare to replace tires every 6-7k mi

The whole bumper including grille and the black thing under it is so ugly.
IMO rear is better than front…

The car would likely look better in a frozen color, showing off the lines and bulges.

Can only tell what is at the bottom of the “thong”? It is on all of them, but I cannot tell if it is a reflector, sticker, or some kind of thin rectangular light. Rear fog light maybe?

This thing must drive like it's on rails because that rear looks like a front of a high speed train to me.

Because it doesnt photograph well, among many other things why black cars are a bad idea to showcase new designs, i would guess.

This car to me looks pretty fun in yellow. takes attention away from how "heavy" it looks, even though weight isnt the main issue here if this car drives well (apparently all feedback has been it drives very good).

A Speed Yellow 993-generation Porsche is a thing of beauty. Speed Yellow really doesn’t work well on the M5 Touring. It really makes it look like a taxi.

They really messed up that rear end.

Here's what the competition looks like in yellow for comparison.

For the record, for me, I think RS6 styling is a bit too over the top with the exaggerated rear bumper outer edges, but overall looks the best of the yellow bunch.
