Nice, except for the wheels, which are hideous.

Definitely CGI, but that represents a little work, as well.
In a few years, they won’t bother with clay anymore. It will be CGI from the git-go.

First thing that comes to mind is late 60’s Hot Wheels.

Anyone have an opinion?
Overall, I like it. Agree with lesser_satan on the hideousness of the wheels. IMHO, wheels can make or break an overall design and these have almost broken the concept. Something with some depth - perhaps offset into the rims - would work a lot better, IMHO.
Few more personal negatives: front end is just dorkey. What's with the gills in the hood? - the engine's in back. The louvres in back window look too 70s.
Overall, though, there's a lot of potential that a few refinements could turn into an instant classic. In general, the lines are pretty nice as are the proportions and stance. Be nice to see a side profile shot.

Certainly looks cool but over the last couple of years I’ve seen way too many BMW owners with broken cars to ever buy one.
Seems like 1 of every 2 BMWs I see on the highway is blowing smoke out the tail pipe.

Ugly rims make it look like a Hot Wheels car.

I find it hard to improve on the original...
But I am not a fan of BMWs efforts over the past few years, see I have a thing for classic BMWs from the company's prime...

Ditto to everyone on the rims, they look like early eighties Lamborghini wheels. Also, the back window louvers don’t look right. Other than that, sweet.

If you want a German engineered mid-engined sports car you don't have to wait.
If you don't want to spend that kind of money and still want one, do what I did.

BMW is a Performance car company - I'll bet the car has somethinng closer to their 720 HP F1 V8 engine under the hood.
Probably not their 925 HP V10 - a bit too tall for that hood line.
On the other hand, it may have a Toyota Prius power plant.... but it's unlikely.
