Great review, my first dream car and eventual M car was a 2005 E46 M3- what a raw beast those were.
I do wonder if a lot of the criticism of the front grill is a bunch of "me too" commentary. Controversial isn't always bad, and for that reason I have learned to reserve judgement on car designs until I see them in the flesh. Our eyes need weeks to months to acclimate to change and to even decide if they are truly better.
I personally think this is a great last hoorah for naturally aspirated BMW's, with a radical design to match.
PS those first two pics are killer- the first time I have truly appreciated TR.
