Ah, so that's where they got the paint from.

Personally I'm loving the sticky tape on the diffuser. Nice touch. Seriously, some nice little tweaks on the body - that all-in-one-winglet-air-sculpting-thing for instance. Whether it works or not, we'll see.

Riiiight.

No that's the left side of the car ;)

I am quite surprised BMW haven't mounted a double front wing on the car (yet).

Those g*ddamn double cams on both sides of the nosecone screw it's looks totally i think. And the wings on the fronts of the sidepods weren't there on the launchcar yet i believe.

In shorts, it looks way worse than the car at the launch. Still the less ugliest 2008 car until now.

How can TWO cams screw the looks of a car with 100 wings?!? ;)

It reminds me of that horrible, horrible Ferrari concept picture thing that keeps popping up. And if anyone dares to post it for the 8zillionth time, I'll impale them on one of the winglets.

Overall it's not too bad I guess, but it's sprouting edges by the day.

Technically it looks good - how good we'll have to wait and see, but it's got some nice touches.

I think thats why I like it so much.. Because you know it's gonna be damn good at doing its job.

Thats something... Toilets. ugly, but when you consider how well they do the job they do they suddenly become the beautiful thing in the house :p

Because those things are very prominently visible, because the nose looked very clean and was by far the best part of the launch car, and because those cams are much less usefull than the other 98 wings i guess, they should be aerodinamically neutral, and tv watchers are most satisfied with just the t-cam shots...

Hell no wonder cars struggle to pass each other with the turbulent air, the BMW will be near impossible to get by ;-)

don't know if you've seen this or not, but BMW took their Pitlane Park to Vegas, where Graham Rahal demonstrated one of their cars: Click

Car looks too busy. Like trying to fit in a couple of extra dimensions of curves. Still, a nice F1 car.

Nick and Robert are quick but agreed. If the car is quick, it will almost be a shame not to see a driver like Alonso driving it !!

Since it seems to be an obligation on the teams this year to produce ugly cars in order to compete, BMW Sauber have slightly redeemed themselves by being a bit more careful with the car's appearance.

I know that looks are completely unimportant in F1, and it's speed that counts, but when it comes to cars I like something to look like it's doing 100 miles an hour when it's standing still.
