Doesn't look great, but at least they spared us from the M3/M4 grille...

A saving grace.  That M3/M4 grille looks even worse in person, as though an anteater got its nose chopped off with a machete.

The U.S. market, at least, gets only the 8-speed ZF automatic with the 6 cylinder, which is an excellent torque converter transmission, but it is no PDK, nor 6MT.  I believe the U.S. B58 has to be paired with X drive, you no longer get RWD as the basic driveline.  

It's also going to be built in Mexico instead of Leipzig, also unwanted, as far as I'm concerned.  I'm not crazy about the digital horseshoe tach and speedo, I much preferred the round, edge lit analog gages on the F22/F82 series.

Maybe the M2 will be better, at least with a proper 6 MT, we can hope.
