Just surfaced!!!!
Concept-level rear diffuser, aggressive front intakes, taillights extending outside the body creating a stunning result, body panels removed revealing a more wide and low silhouette, side skirts revealed, production wheels (prefer the other ones recently shown) and brakes, ....
Starting to like it A LOT!!!!

Damn. The front end is a bit more round than I've expected, but I'm liking what I'm seeing. Fingers crossed for at least the base model to be affordable and available with a manual option.
EDIT: Just read the article on motor1.com which contain these spy shots, and if the turbo four has 248 horsepower for the US, that's the same turbo four in the base 2-series, which can be optioned with a manual. It makes practically no sense to only offer it with an automatic, especially when that engine is basically gutted straight from the 2-series; the manual transmission should come with it. That gets my hopes up.
A few more weeks everyone! So I'm messing around with the toy model car I have to figure out how the side vent on the door will look and work. It is possible just not sure how the final product will look in person though.
Not sure if they added these later, but you can see that LED light strip on the bottom the the headlight wonder why it’s yellow though? From motor1.com.
Awesome, anyone know; 1.) What the lower section at the rear between the exhuast pipes is? Brake light or just a styling feature? 2.) What/where the gas filler looks like?
