More photos taken of both the convertible and coupe facelift.
Completely new front lights but also new taillights clearly.
Also the rear diffuser is more aggressive. No doubt to me the coupe in the photos is the SVR without the SVR spoiler. The diffuser is deeper and goes more around the rear compared to the current SVR.
The front grille is differrent too, it doesn't have the bar in the middle either but the convertible does. Wonder if maybe the SVR won't have the bar?
The convertible is originally a blue color it seems but the A-pillars are black. Like the Project 7 they seem to be going to black out the A-pillars, at least on the convertible.
Ive spent some time in an f10 and f90 m5, sheer power is great but bmw are undoubtedly having the hardest time making their engines sound good in the new it’s all about turbo efficiency age
That camo is completely hiding the side intakes. You can see it's a button on disguise. I suspect underneath it's far more like our current looks. Those angles are horrible shots.
There is a 4 potter coupe (P7 grille) and a V8 coupe (P7 grille) and a 'vert (normal grille). None look live SVRs to me because they dont have the oversized front vent behind the wheel.
I quite like where the front lights are going. The change to the rears is change for change's sake, though I dont think it will detract from it. I am hoping that the horizontal blades in the front vents dont make a return. That is only my opinion, I had them and didnt like them in both of my XF's and I didnt like them in my wife's XE either. I tend to think the lines flow better with the vertical blades.

Look at the 4 exhaust coupe. It has the SVR rear diffuser.
Possibly, but not the SVR front guards, or the SVR spoiler. And then both the 4 potter and the 8 have the P7 grille. Jury is out!
As I said it seems like an SVR without the spoiler. And since we can’t see how the front bumper looks we can’t say it’s not an SVR. Just compare the 4 quad exhaust convertible with the 4 quad exhaust coupe in the photos. Not the same rear bumper at all. Convertible is R, coupe is SVR.
Of course, in a mule you don't actually know what they're testing - could be any part of the car. I heard a tale a few decades ago that Porsche was testing a new drivetrain in a bodyshell from an Opel Rekord, and many autobahn drivers were bemused to be overtaken at speed by such a vehicle!
You get a better idea of the lights at around 5.40 and in the 6 and 7 minutes, I think this car is going to look good. Maybe a bit 6 seriesish, though that was always the prettiest of the bimmers.
I dont want to reopen the svr or not debate, but it doesnt sound like the svr exhaust.
This has been the whole process. The 2015 FT being the 240Z. They must 'change' the look over time or people can't beat their cheat that they have the latest model. Unfortunately, and imo, the looks are degrading over time. That is how it works 90% of the time with car models.
