Looks to have a similar amount of wide angle / fisheye distortion to the picture in your avatar, Tony.

Its close to being deformed. Looks like its been well and truley beaten with a large 'ugly stick'.

What the heck is going on....?

It looks as though it was shot with the camera zoomed out.. that always causes distortion. A current MINI shot that way would look strange too. The same shot from further back with the camera zoomed in would look much nicer

You have a good point... by way of comparison then...

All I will add to this debate is I"M GLAD I HAVE TAKEN DELIVERY OF MY MAY 2006 JCW MCS I think it will appreciate in value! Not that I would ever sell it.

Must admit, looking out of the window at work at the front of my '06 JCWS with aerokit, I have made the right decision NOT to order the new one!!

The lines and style of the new car look much more like the Aero Kit than the standard S don't they.

With the standard S looking like it's already fitted with the Aero kit I wonder if BMW will even offer an Aero kit as an option?

If they don't someone else will!

I have been spending a lot of time looking at the pictures of the new one, as opposed to the old one..... still very undecided and I think it is something that I will not be able to decide until I see a new one in the flesh.
