However, aside from the obvious side mirrors and lack of door handles and grille badge, I feel like they've also tempered a bit with some other less obvious parts, even though not as much as on the first 8 Series Concept:
- Headlights: they definitely aren't as slim as on last year's concept, but they still seem a little bit slimmer than the actual production version judging from the spyshots and the leaked photo.
- Front air intakes: are they going to make them so high? 🤔
- Trunklid: maybe the ducktail spoiler won't be as theatrical (don't remember seeing it quite as high on the M8 camouflaged prototypes), but I hope I'm wrong.
- Rear bumper: I would really hope they keep it close to the concept, but would they really build a new bumper instead of using the M Sport bumper and simply changing the lower black part, like they seem to have done on the M5? Again I hope I'm wrong as the concept looks savage 😍

idk why the people still continue using this photo for compare something.
The angle and the quality are so so poor jesus lol
