M's Aero Engineering team previously has indicated their painstaking approach to mm tolerances when working on their models' aerodynamic designs. Appreciating what they've been able to accomplish with the F97, and with a desire to stay with this series in the future, it's interesting to see the aero changes they make with successive models (IMO). Since the underbody contributes significantly to Cd, to see the front wheel aero element 'appear' more obvious as shared in my photos, just raised a thought that maybe they found another improvement. As mentioned it may just be artifact, but it stood out easily to me (and no, not a Radiologist).
As background for those interested there's an article online discussing underbody aerodynamics -
Effect of underbody structure on aerodynamic drag and optimization, Sep 2017 in the
Journal of Measurements in Engineering, Yuan & Wang, (esp section '4.1. The influence of wheel deflector on aerodynamic drag coefficient').

Although it doesn't show up on the 2023 build site yet, that may be an error as it does appear in the 2023 ordering guide which
